The Maserati GranCabrio will make its world premiere at the Frankfurt International Motorshow on 15 September. The car is the first four seater cabriolet to be produced by the Modenese company. The GranCabrio is Maserati through and through, from the distinctive Pininfarina styling, the roomy interior and hand-crafted detailing to the driving pleasure and performance it provides.

The Maserati GranCabrio will be available from winter onwards and will be shipped to dealerships around the world in spring 2010. In the meantime, you can admire its beauty, elegance, advanced technology and optional extras at the new Maserati GranCabrio configurator. The configurator is the best of its kind on the web thanks to the quality of its images and the freedom allowed in selecting personalisation options.
The new configurator offers the chance to preview in detail the car’s interior, exterior, steering wheel and even detailing like the interior stitching and brake callipers.

The Maserati GranCabrio also has its own dedicated website at:  www.maseratigrancabrio.com .

You can also share your passion and swap comments on the new model with other Maseratisti by visiting the Maserati fan page on Facebook.

Now let’s turn to some of the technical aspects of this hi-tech design icon: the Maserati GranCabrio is powered by a 4.7 litre V8 teamed with a super smooth six-speed automatic transmission. In Sport mode, the V8 rewards the driver and passengers by delivering all the power of its 440 bhp as the engine sound hits all the right notes.

The bodywork on the Maserati GranCabrio has been totally re-engineered to ensure excellent structural rigidity. The spot-on weight distribution means excellent handling and superior levels of safety.

Special attention has been paid to the aerodynamics with the car’s flat aluminium undertray: for the first time ever, the aerodynamic figures of the cabriolet version match the coupè.

The automatic bi-zone climate control maintains ideal conditions in the cabin by adjusting both the interior temperature and ventilation by gauging the exterior temperature, the air humidity and the intensity of the sun’s rays.

The close collaboration between Maserati engineers and BOSE technicians has resulted in a BOSE stereo system designed especially for the GranCabrio so the occupants can enjoy music in the open air.

The Maserati GranCabrio comes with Skyhook suspension as standard. The brakes employ high-performance dual cast technology and were developed in association with Brembo.

In line with Maserati’s traditions, the GranCabrio’s hood is crafted in canvas. In just 28 seconds, the driver and passengers can experience the joy of plein air driving, as the hood opens and closes even with the car travelling up to 30 km/h.

Dodge Challenger - Third generation (2008-present)

On December 3, 2007, Chrysler started taking deposits for the third-generation Dodge Challenger which debuted on February 6, 2008 simultaneously at the Chicago Auto Show[9] and Philadelphia International Auto Show. Listing at US$40,095, the new version is a 2-door coupe which shares common design elements with the first generation Challenger, despite being significantly longer and taller. The chassis is a modified (shortened wheelbase) version of the LX platform that underpins the 2006-Current Dodge Charger, 2005-2008 Dodge Magnum, and the 2005-Current Chrysler 300. All 2008 models were SRT8s and equipped with the 6.1 L (370 cu in) Hemi and a 5-speed AutoStick automatic transmission, which outperforms the legendary 1970 Hemi Challenger.[10] The entire 2008 run of 6,400 cars were pre-sold (many of which for above MSRP), and production commenced on May 8, 2008. Chrysler Canada is offering the Canada 500 and Chrysler of Mexico is offering only 100 of this car for that country with a 6.1 liter engine and 425 brake horsepower (317 kW) (SAE); the version is SRT/8. Chrysler auctioned off two 2008 SRT8 for charity with car #1 going for $400,000.00 to benefit the notMYkid non-profit organization, and a "B5" Blue #43 car fetching a winning bid of $228,143.43 with the proceeds going to Victory Junction Gang Camp.[11] Many of the "first delivery" Challengers were either pre-sold, or sold for above MSRP (as is often the case with a highly anticipated vehicle launch).

At the 2008 New York Auto Show, Chrysler debuted the full Dodge Challenger line for 2009, with three different trims (SE, R/T, and SRT8) to choose from:

2010 models

The mid-level Challenger is powered by a 5.7 L (345 cu in) HEMI V8 coupled to a 5-speed automatic transmission or a Tremec TR-6060 6-speed manual transmission. On cars equipped with the automatic transmission, the engine features the Multi-Displacement System and produces 372 brake horsepower (277 kW) (SAE) and 398 lb·ft (540 N·m) torque[15]. With the 6-speed manual transmission, the Multi-Displacement System option is deleted and the engine produces 376 brake horsepower (280 kW) (SAE) and 404 lb·ft (548 N·m) torque[15].
