The Fast and the Fashionable: The Maserati GranCabrio Fendi

Legendary Italian brands Maserati and Fendi have merged their iconic styles and debuted their first collaboration, the Maserati GranCabrio Fendi, presented at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Designed by Silvia Venturini Fendi at the historical Maserati headquarters in Modena, the Maserati GranCabrio Fendi is instantly recognizable by its unique Grigio Fiamma Fendi paint – a special dark grey with an iridescent golden finish on the surface.

Fendi’s signature yellow runs along the width of the dashboard, on the doors, on the top of the gear lever, as well as the brake calipers and the embroidered headrests. The seats squabs, backrests, rocker panel and the 20” trident-spoked alloy wheels all feature the company’s double-F logo.

Another little touch from the luxury design house is the Cuoio Romano leather interior from Fendi’s prestigious Selleria line, also used on the suitcases and accessories specifically designed as part of the accompanying limited edition travel kit. But this is not just a fashionable ride, it has the signature Maserati power. The engine boasts a roaring 4.7-litre  V8 engine coupled with automatic transmission.

Each limited edition Maserati GranCabrio Fendi comes with a special black-on-black car cover embossed with the double-F logo, so that it looks just as special sitting in the garage as it does out on the road.
