Spycam: Maserati GranTurismo Cabriolet

Seen here is Maserati’s upcoming cabriolet drop-top prototype based on the Trident’s venerable GranTurismo. Our trusty spy photographers spotted the convertible at the Nurburgring in Germany undergoing what was likely handling and performance fine tuning.

As expected, it’s thoroughly covered in camouflage, with only its distinct dark grey trident alloys, rear under tray, and exposed raked A-pillar giving it away. The nose, as well as the entire rear section, is draped in tarp indicating possible minor styling revisions to the handsome Pininfarina design.

It’ll receive a retractable aluminum hard top much like its cousin, the 2010 Ferrari California. As such, beyond the B-pillars resides the Italian two-door’s most touchy styling section. Chances are the car’s final design is already penned, but for supreme secrecy, is bundled up until its rumored debut at next year’s Geneva show. Also, at this point it is uncertain if the car will maintain its 2+2 configuration or if it’ll drop its two rear “seats” for a more appropriate “Spyder” designation.We're guessing the rear seats will remain.

Providing grunt is expected to be the Quattroporte GT S’s 433-hp 4.7L V-8, though the GranTurismo’s engine pair – the 405-hp 4.2L V-8 and 440-hp 4.7L V-8 – have been thrown around as possibilities as well. Mated to the engine will reportedly be the newly debuted ZF-built six-speed automatic transmission found in the current GranTurismo S.

Scoop! Jaguar Extended-Range Hybrid Sports Car in the Works

Timing on Jaguar's XE two-seat roadster may slip past its planned 2011 Geneva show introduction thanks to lean resources resulting from the global economic crisis. However, Motor Trend has learned that whenever it first appears, the sports car will get a 21st Century, green-economy boost in the form of a Chevrolet Volt-like powerplant. An electric motor with an extended-range three-cylinder gas engine is being engineered for the new-age E-Type, in addition (we hope) to Jaguar's conventional 5.0-liter and supercharged 5.0-liter V-8s. Whether the extended-range XE will make it beyond the concept stage is uncertain.

It's also unclear whether the electric XE would be in addition to an extended-range electric XJ rumored to be scheduled for introduction in late 2011, a year after the conventional XJ's release.

Ratan Tata, whose company bought Jaguar and Land Rover from Ford Motor Company, is said to support the XE's development. His father once owned a Jaguar XK120, and Tata told Autocar earlier this year, "We need to emerge with something shiny and new, which is why we are reprioritizing the roadster right now."

The 5.0-liter, 385-horsepower AJ V-8 and 510-horsepower, supercharged 5.0 are obvious choices for the XE. While an extended-range electric XJ would be designed to take on the Fisker Karma, an extended-range electric XE could be a competitor for the all-electric Tesla Roadster.
