    the Alfa V6 is not built in Maranello, it is built at another fiat plant in Termoli

    alfieri would have been effectively a 2 seater with very small back seats. The GranTurismo has usable rear seats. With limited budget, hard to justify producing two cars that are strictly 2 seats while producing the MC 20. The Alfieri was to be priced to compete with the base 911, Jaguar F Type etc. the GranTurismo is at a higher price point and more profitable

    Not knowing specific details of the Alfieri as apparently you do, I was referring to the styling of the Alfieri. Meaning, they could have produced a vehicle of similar size as the GT but using styling features of the Alfieri.

    My only Maser experience was a good one. I brought a used 2004 Vintage Spyder for $60k. It was a beautiful car. The interior was to kill for. Women loved that car. (Men loved my Maranello, but I don’t swing that way.) Yeah, it sucked on the track, but who cared? It had a cool V8. I would have preferred a stick, but you get what you need instead of what you want. I have never seen a Ferrari come close to that interior.

    I drove it for a year and sold it. Anybody want to guess for how much?

    For sure a great car as what it is...but designwise its a disappointment. Hope the interior is better than with the old GranTurismo....

    Seems like this might be the best looking Gran Turismo yet. I wonder if they were allowed to charge it after the drive, with Cali asking EV owners not to charge their cars due to high usage :rolleyes:

    IMO the Alfieri is much better looking than the Roma...

    The thing in the roof, which I assume is a camera or some type of sensor, is very distracting. Wish they would have integrated it better with the body. Otherwise, I like it.

    Yeah I wondered how/why they managed to put that carbuncle on there. It must be awfully important?

    This new version looks like they're following Porsche's 911 theme of gradual styling changes. I like that.

    Very nice, and would stick to old fashioned power…500kg weight gain and limited range not for me.

    Looks like a winner. But I also love our 2014 so not sure I would see a need to trade up.

    My 2014 has a shark fin although I think it is smaller than the one on the new design…

    doesn’t bother me but I agree the lines are better without it. I’m guessing it’s for gps and satellite radio.

    I think this thing looks pretty nice. I liked the old one too.
