Maserati Gran Cabrio Hire UK: V8 Open-Top Italian Grand Tourer Self-Drive

Hire a Maserati Gran Cabrio in the UK

The Maserati Gran Cabrio is a four-seat open-top grand tourer powered by a 4.7-litre naturally aspirated V8 producing 460HP. It reaches 60mph in 5.4 seconds and has a top speed of 175mph. The naturally aspirated engine is a significant detail: while most performance convertibles now use turbocharged units, the Gran Cabrio retains the linear power delivery and free-revving character of a traditional V8, which gives it a driving experience that feels different from anything else in the Starr Maserati fleet. The fabric roof folds electrically in 28 seconds at speeds up to 30mph. Crucially for a convertible, it seats four adults in genuine comfort, not two adults and two token rear seats. This makes itthe right hire car for two couples or a family of four who want an open-air Italian grand touring experience on UK roads.

Gran Cabrio vs the Other Open-Top Options in the Fleet

The Gran Cabrio occupies a different position from other convertibles in the Starr fleet. The Jaguar F-Type S Cabriolet and the Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet are two-seat sports cars focused on driver involvement. The Gran Cabrio is a four-seat grand tourer built for covering distance in comfort with the roof down. It is 4,920mm long, which makes it one of the most spacious open-top cars available for self drive hire in the UK. If you need four seats in a convertible, it is the only car in the fleet that genuinely provides them. The V8 exhaust note at open throttle is one of the most distinctive sounds available in any hire car at this price point.

The Gran Cabrio on UK Roads

The Gran Cabrio is best suited to longer routes where the grand touring character can be appreciated. The A9 from Perth to Inverness, the coastal roads of Cornwall or the A40 from London through the Cotswolds are the kinds of roads it was designed for. In London it is large but manageable. The rear passenger space is genuinely usable on motorway journeys, withheadroom sufficient even with the roof up. With the roof down at motorway speeds there is relatively little wind intrusion at the rear seats compared to shorter wheelbase convertibles,  which is a practical benefit on longer UK summer drives.
