Touring Sciàdipersia Cabriolet, a modern manifestation of the romance of travel, competes for the Design Award at Villa d’Este this year.

Based on Maserati GranCabrio, Sciàdipersia Cabriolet is powered by the noble 4.7 litre, naturally aspirated V8 engine. Design takes inspiration from past Superleggera icons.

The restoration department of Touring pays homage to the Italian design with a one-off Maserati A6G bodied by Frua, competing in Class C.
