Maserati MC20

Sounded like he picked it up at the dealer no?

The video is just advertising for his biz, "Hey I've got one come have a look". Not much of a review.

 

I doubt you're going to be disappointed by this car unless you're looking for raw visceral vehicle. But it's never going to have Maserati V8 sound lie the Granturismo did.

 

Same transaxle too, Tremec right? I guess that makes sense for Maserati as they were always an off the shelf small manufacturing firm. At least the engine, chassis and body are ALL Maserati. Earlier last year I got my first car with a backup camera and all those warning chimes. I'd driven lots of rentals with that stuff on it but using it everyday is something else again. Not a big fan of that stuff because I just don't trust it and so I think it actually slows me down. My skills have suffered. I do hope this Maserati isn't doing too damn much automatically and that it's basically so well balanced that it's not really needed but I expect many owners will overdrive the car beyond their own skill set and the car will save them.

 

after the attempted sale on Bring A Trailer, Maserati is now doing a Right of First Refusal on new MC20s.

 

First exhaust !!! Sounds great

 

Interesting, that all interiors are...black..., no?

 

Or greyish. Boring, but these are the first batch of cars ...

 

You can have a tan interior. That would be my choice with the sort of Bugatti blue they have.

 

Maserati offers only 5 colors and always black for the interior (with stitching in different colors) while Ferrari for their new 296 offers no less than 24 colors and various colors for the interior.

 

Good post. I like those guys. Closest thing to old topgear. Review should be entertaining and informative

 

I have had the vehicle for two months now and I do not agree with it on the suspensions. The vehicle feels stiff because of the chassis but I drove with it on all types of roads and the vehicle behaves excellently on bumpy roads. When I drive a car I feel like I drive a kart and it's really fun. I have a 458 and it's a completely different vehicle that is unlike any other vehicle and that's what's so fun about this vehicle

Just saw a new car in the flesh down town Naples. Dark blue. Did not look as good to me as in pics. Personally, I would go with the McLaren GT.

 

Please compare it to 458 driving experience. Obviously turbo v na engine but what about other things like traction, ride, steering, refinement, etc?

Can't wait for comparison tests with evo, f8, 720, even z06. Mc20 is already best styling to me

 

The Maserati is faster than the 458 and also stiffer and more stable. With the Maserati you can drive much harder on technical roads. And in general there is perfect harmony in the connection between the engine gearbox and the chassis. As I wrote it is a completely different car from the 458. The 458 is a super special vehicle and fun in a completely different way and that is exactly what I was looking for in a completely different vehicle from the Ferrari. I really enjoy Maserati and every day that passes I connect with it more and more

Did you get the carbon ceramic brakes ? If yes, is it worth the upgrade in your opinion ?

 

If there's one thing I'm sorry about is that I did not order the vehicle with carbon brakes. My car came with the usual brakes and they just do not fit this car. The vehicle is so strong and stable and you use the brakes very hard and they just do not fit this vehicle and twice they have warmed up a lot. I am now checking to replace the regular brakes with carbon brakes.

 

Such a great looking car. Shame it’s so far out of my budget

 

Thanks. That is good to know. I was 50/50 but will now make sure I include these
