Post Maserati NA prices the GranTurismo Convertible at $135,800*

The weather outside may be frightful, but fret not, because summer is coming soon...ish. And when it does, you're going to want the right set of wheels. With that in mind, the good folks over at Maserati North America have revealed the pricing for their new GranTurismo Convertible (also known as the GranCabrio overseas) so you can start saving now. And save you will if you want to get your hands on one, because it sells for a princely $135,800 (MSRP, before taxes and additional fees).

If you're wondering how much it costs to lob the roof off a GranTurismo and replace it with a triple-insulated retractable soft top, consider that the standard coupe starts at $117,500, for a difference of – carry the one, divide by the square root of pi – $18,300. When you consider, however, that the convertible comes standard with the larger 4.7-liter engine from the $121,500 GranTurismo S, the additional cost of open-air motoring comes out to a somewhat more manageable $14,300, which may or may not make it easier to justify to your spouse. Details in the press release after the jump.

Nice enough, but at first glance I almost thought it was a Jag.

Pretty nice but I would stick with the hard top for looks and better rigidity. with the extra 14k I would get some nice wheels on the car and take a trip up the coast of CA with the new ride visiting only Ritz Carltons all the way up to San Francisco. Just my little Maser fantasy
