THE Maserati GranCabrio Fendi will be introduced at the 64th Frankfurt International Motor Show which takes place in Germany on September 13-25.
It has been crafted in the historical Maserati headquarters in Modena, with exclusive materials bespokely created in various colours for this project by the celebrated fashion house.
A spokesman said: “The Maserati GranCabrio Fendi, designed by Silvia Venturini Fendi, is born from the union of two iconic brands from Italy, which share common values such as craftsmanship and tradition.”
The three-layered body colour named Grigio Fiamma Fendi is a special dark grey with an iridescent golden finish on the surface. The wood trim Pergamena Fendi runs across the width of the dashboard, on the doors and on the top of the gear lever, all in the iconic Fendi yellow, like the brake callipers and the embroidered yellow trident on the headrests.
Adding a stronger yet elegant character to the GranCabrio is Fendi’s unmistakable double F logo, stitched on the seat, also appearing in the centre of the 20-inch alloy wheels and along the rocker panel.
Cuoio Romano, Fendi’s precious leather of its Selleria line, has been used for such details as the instrument cluster cover, for the gear lever and for the profile of the floor mats.
Its designers say the Maserati GranCabrio Fendi represents a perfect marriage between the art of Fatto a Mano (handmade) with the ultimate technology and research of its 4.7-litre V8 engine coupled with automatic transmission, which brings out to life a unique roar, ‘music to the ears’ of car connoisseurs.
Silvia Venturini Fendi’s specially-crafted logo seals this collaboration. A silver oval plaque with the engraving of the Maserati Trident, Fendi logo and the 5-digit series number (five being an iconic number for Fendi) is located on the dashboard, in front of the passenger seat, and on both sides of the black cloth folding roof. A special black car cover with ton-sur-ton double F logo dresses the Maserati GranCabrio Fendi.
The price will be announced at the show.
