I’m a fan of the stripes and liveries. But I’m also not a red over tan Ferrari guy. I search out the less common color combos. Robb
I think it depends on what else is in the garage. There is that Ferrari collector that every car is yellow… or all Peter Kalikow’s cars are a particular blue. I think a mix in your garage is better giving you a different mood with a different car. I had a gray meteorite Aston. Stunning. In AZ, because it’s so bright with the full sun all the time darker colors look better. I’d absolutely add a black or gray here. Maybe not in Seattle. Robb
Look at the special Ferrari’s: CS scud Speciale those stripes are permanent. I think the individuality of the stripe colors makes those cars more unique, individual, and sought after. the MC does stand for corsa so I see a similar feel even though the mc20 seems to be a non-lightweight car like those mentioned Ferraris.

I'm guessing the interior trim is in ... ahem ... piano black ... Looks perfect for Laurie Stern Image Unavailable, Please Login
I remember seeing the c7 corvette when it came out. I always wondered why the rear bumper was left black. It felt unfinished to me. I know some of those owners opted to paint them.

I think gloss black could look good and probably more finished than the molded gray if not adding the carbon. Robb
there’s a car for sale in UK with body color. Initially I thought it looked great, and was going to do that, but the more I looked at it, the more it started to look ‘fat’! Think the contrast helps shape the side profile, but obviously a personal choice. https://www.joemacari.com/stock/maserati-mc20/10004877
Well there's a lot more to a CS than just special stripes. Exotic car customers There will be actual different models more track oriented but my lord this thing is already so fast and apparently so very good on the road so why potentially degrade that? If you want a track day car that beats everyone else first learn how to drive at the track and start with something much more reasonable and cheaper to repair. Then if you're worthy you'll be able find the right car for you that can also be run for a lot less money than these cars.
You think that looks fat? I like it WO all the contrast as it looks more elegant and less boy racer wannabe.
I think the body color looks very nice. Thanks for posting that. I like it painted and plain. Carbon can be overdone but it looks good on this car except that cost and possible road rash. Robb
Here is a car with mixed paint. White on the front splitter and body colored side sills the side reminds me of the look of a scud. White stripes were not shown in the configurator but I guess you can spec lots of things not off the rack. I’m prob a fan of all the lower panels being body colored or contrasting. Probably would not mix it like this which may have been an early test car rather than an order. Robb Image Unavailable, Please Login
Anyone buying (or bought) a car who has seen the racing seats vs the standard sport seats? Chris Harris’ review indicated that the car’s lateral g’s way outperform the standard seats and he was rolling out of those. All the other reviewers indicated the standard seats were comfortable though. Wondering the comfort level of the optional racing seats. I had the rare carbon sport seats in my 360 (in size large) and I found them in leather to be fairly comfortable for 2-3 hour drives. not sure if the Maserati optional race seats are sized small, med, large, or one size… thanks for any first hand knowledge. I’m getting my questioned lined up to meet with the dealer. here are the sport seats shown in a car sold on the used (flipper) market in CA. Robb Image Unavailable, Please Login
I sat in both at Quail and prefer the race seats. Race seats seem more fitting for coupe and comfort for vert - as displayed at Quail. But the best interior option/color, Blue Cielo, is unavailable with the race seats. Seems like an oversight from the factory.
Here is a photo of the race seats from the Maserati accessory brochure. aren’t these shown in blue cielo with the laser cuts? Robb Image Unavailable, Please Login
Yes, and when I first saw it, I thought it looked brilliant and immediately told dealer that’s what I wanted. Just the more I look at it, the more I think the design is better with contrast, as it makes sides looked more sculpted. So went for black gloss. Personal opinion and all that!
The black hole of Calcutta option ... man that's a dark interior. I hope it's got amazing interior lighting ...
So I went to Ferrari / Maserati of Scottsdale on Friday to learn more about the mc20 and it’s pricing. The sales team was super helpful and gave me updated pricing information and ordering timetables. I could get on the list with a deposit and be about a 12 month period til delivered. They had three cars on the floor. So it was great to see three different specs at one time. Two with carbon exterior and one without. Both versions of the exterior packages looked excellent. The overall design was top notch. At 6’ tall I fit just fine with a couple more inches to spare above my head. Not really any more room behind the seat where the mid engine Ferraris always give me another 6” or so. Not sure a helmet would have a lot of room on me but that wasn’t my main focus. the camera in the rear view mirror seemed fine. Ergonomics we’re good. Fit and finish inside were good. the base leather interior looked nice but very, very plain. I saw the alcantara seat fabric in cuoio and it looked good but it’s not a color that lends itself to anything but smooth leather in my opinion. Cuoio leather - yes please. Cuoio alcantara - no, I’d pick blue, red, black or gray. I told the sales guy I would look over the pricing with my wife and let him know today. So we looked at pricing. and unfortunately, I won’t be ordering one. Although I wish I could. but this car simply can’t really be ordered without getting close to 275-300k before taxes… the base price for 2023 has increased from about 210k in 2022 to 234k. You can only get it in black or gray for that price with black wheels, calipers etc. ANY change from silver wheels to other colors etc will simply raise the price very quickly. want it in red - add $10k Blue or green - add $16,500 Want stripes or a livery - add another 10-20k Want the non-all black interior? That will set you back 2,800 but you can only spec that with the carbon interior pack for another 7,500 So I was interested at 230k including a few options out the door. It’s unfortunately out of my pay grade at 275 to 300k so I guess I will wander back over to the second hand ferrari market in January after the world recession is in full swing. Disappointing because I love the mc20… Robb Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
So I wonder if these will depreciate at the same rate as other Maseratis or McLarens. If so, you can probably get a low mileage one next year under 200K. That would be a bargain as long as they offer an extended warranty buy in. The base price of this car should start about $165K. Then they would have something.
