Newbie-MC Stradale owner

Hi everyone,
I have been following your threads for the past week and have to admit I have learned quite a fair bit.
I just put down a deposit for my first Maserati and the car will be ready for delivery 19th Feb. I am so excited and to tell you the truth I was not even looking at the MCS. I was looking at the new BMW M6 but did not pick it up as we could not agree on the price. Than I had some time to kill after looking at the M6 and decided to drive down to the Maserati dealership which is when I stumbled upon this red MCS. It was love at first sight. I love the exclusivity of the MCS, the specs etc etc. The exterior just looks so sexy and the exhaust note in race mode in my opinion is orgasmic! The interior already has all the carbon bits from the sportsline option with alcantara. I am in love....

On a side note, are there any Maserati Stradale owners here?

What a lovely car...!

 

Yep - for about 14 months so far. Can't recommend them highly enough, in my opinion one of the most underrated cars in their class. Coincidentally I took a friend to collect his new MC Stradale today - supposedly the only 2013 spec car so far ordered and delivered to the UK.
Only Maserati would fail so abysmally to leverage their halo product!
Either way, glad you found one and good luck spreading the word.

Knock knock, anyone else here?

 

As your car is a RHD, I assume you are from the UK?

 

From Singapore

 

OK, but its then (from the performance) the "strangled" US-version? Hope not....

 

100% pure Stradale

 

WOW. Best looking modern Maserati interior I've seen. Most look so tacky with "tecno" fabric, or weird colors. Your car looks amazing.

 

Thank you, i can't wait for delivery next Tuesday

 

unfortunately, it is a watered-down version, it is missing the roll-cage, the 4-point harness and some other things that the EU Stradale has.

but I don't think that it is like the US version which is just a fake GT-S, I think this is just missing the above things because it was ordered like that... I think so, because the fake US versions don't have the real MC-Shift gearbox, they only come as Automatics, while this one seems to have it.

 

Congrats! Looks absolutely fabulous.

The Stradale is the most impressive car I have ever driven

 

What else do you see missing other than the 4 point harness and roll cage which I opted not to have?
It is the full Stradale minus the (roll cage and 4 point harness) which I opted not to put in as it would be a hassle to use the 4 point harness every time I get in and out. It's either the normal seat belt or the 4 point harness.
Otherwise it comes with the ceramic brakes, cf seats, F1 gearbox and everything else that the Stradale comes with.
There are a total of 16 Stradales in Singapore inclusive of mine out of which only 2 of the owners opted for the 4 point harness with roll cage.

 

Thank you all, will post more pics after I pick it up in 5 days

 

There are a bunch of extra packages, like the exterior carbon package (carbon mirrors, rear spoiler, etc) and those sticker packages (trident sticker on the roof, etc). Some others I don't remember but I think the interior is otherwise full.

It is good that you have the real thing, the US version is a real disappointment.

Enjoy it and drive it like you stole it

 

Not a big fan of those stickers and even in the brochure the Stradale does not have the stickers, on the carbon bits, I preferred all one colour otherwise the carbon bits look just plain black from a distance or at night, nonetheless these are small little parts I can always order from the factory after providing them my chassis number as they are very strict.

I will drive it like I didn't just steal it but I'm running from a tsunami, thx bro

 

haha nice one

 

4 more days from tomorrow to delivery!!
