Maserati has released UK prices for the GranCabrio - the four-seater soft-top favoured by every octogenarian female! - and, as you doubtless guessed, it is Not Especially Cheap.
Prices start at just over £95,000 for the gorgeous convertible, a hefty wedge of cash that gets you a 4.7-litre V8 pumping out 434bhp. It'll haul the GC to 62mph in just 5.4 seconds and on to a top speed of 175mph, which we'd imagine will be rather lively for your rear passengers.
Your 95 grand also secures you the longest-wheelbase convertible on the market - Maserati promises that the GC provides proper seating for four adults with eight legs.
Mainly, however, this story is simply an excuse to show you the lovely shiny pictures from our big magazine shoot with the GranCabrio. Click through our gallery and prepare to want one...

When I picked up the magazine and saw this car in it, I thought it should have been on a top shelf far away from the eyes of children. Selling cars like this should be illegal -- printing pictures of them should be punishable by castration. It's just... OH EMM JEE! I'll stop criticising Top Gear if you use the license payers fees to get me one.

Maserati could probably make a six-seat convertible look good. Wow. Incidentally you should let Hammond take a ride in one of these -- you could fit the other two (and probably the Stig) in the back: http://www.autoblog.com/gallery/1967-oldsmobile-barris-70-x-toronado/
