I ordered my GTB in July of 21, it's now in status 50 and scheduled to leave the factory on 2/16. I've gotten one set of production pics, have had a VIN for over a month but the app still shows me on the waiting list
Arrived in the states in December. Finally arrived at the dealer 2 weeks ago. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Received my 296 on Wednesday. a couple of quick comments/questions: 1) does anyone know how to make the mirrors dip in reverse. I really like being able to do that to ensure I don’t kerb the time. My dealer said if you set the mirror position in reverse it will go there each time but it didn’t seem to work 2) love everything else about the car. I have upgraded from a 488 but have an urus, Bentayga, w12 conti gt currently and this is definitely something special. It is next level quick especially with the electric filling in 3) I really like the electric mode and unlike the sf90 I had it can always start in electric whereas the sf90 sometimes needed to “warm up” the electrics which was weird 4) I was surprised that the passenger screen was standard (at least in Australia) which was a nice bonus as I thought I hadn’t optioned it 5) some people asked about how long you can leave it unplugged. When you turn it off it tells you. From memory at fully charged it says “battery autonomy” 70 days or something like it 6) rosso imola is a great colour with a lot more depth that the corsa I had on the 488 7) I optioned the black exhaust. Maybe it is perception but both my dealer and I thought it was louder/had more crackles and pops than the standard exhaust in their demo but like I said maybe it was just perception Any other questions feel free to ask
You called it “next level quick”, and you mention you had an SF90. How does it compare in overall feel to the SF? I know the SF is faster, but can you actually tell when you’re driving them? If they both cost the same, which one would you choose? My 296 should be arriving at the dealer any day now, and my SF90 has a VIN so is in production, therefore I’m very curious about your thoughts comparing the two. Thanks!
Also charges very fast in race /qualify mode. Very fast while driving. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
My Blu Corsa with Tortora just arrived. Delivery Tuesday. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Today I drove almost 500 km with the car and I want to tell you that the 296 is simply a perfect car!!!! It's the fastest car I've ever driven in my life and the grip is crazy and the sound is also excellent - I have a 458 and I've driven a lot on the 488 and the f8 but the 296 is simply in a different league!!!

This is exciting, because I thought that you were on the fence about your order before... Didn't you say you thought you would get/keep an MC20 instead? Can you compare them?
How chill are the cops there about window tint? [here in the desert they don't bother people for the most part, many cars have limo tint because it's 40º+...]
I sold the Maserati... it's an excellent car, but the 296 is better in every parameter. The 458 stayed next to the 296 and I will never sell it....
hahahahaha ... this picture came up by mistake .... we laughed about adding more weight to the Porsche's wing ....
The main thing that bothered me about the Maserati is that in Israel there are many roads that are not of a high level of pavement and the Maserati was very rigid and jumps and loses grip
Did you just ask that Question? The Cops in Australia are the worst in the world! If you do 17 Miles over the limit you lose your license and they impound your car for 30 days. There are speed cameras hidden everywhere and they start giving tickets at 4kms over the limit! I once got a ticket for doing 44 KPH in a 40KPH zone! Biggest scum bags alive!
Looking awesome MHH! No doubt you will have 2,000 miles on it by the end of next week??? Did someone say "How far is Ayrs Rock???"
Where do you actually go and enjoy your cars? Was watching an Australian video review of an Alpina and the drive by shots were at a snails pace.
Let me introduce you to the Swiss traffic copper. They once pulled a mate over for doing 1.8 kph (1.1 mph) over the limit.
Wow, that's petty. I spent a week in Switzerland with a friend from Zurich. We were driving back to his house on the freeway at dusk and the headlight warning of his Peugeot came on. He is panicking we are going to get stopped by the police and we're still 100km from home. Coming from Hawaii, so many of the rust buckets are driving around with one light. I was dismissive, let's keep going, we're like an hour from home. We can get the light tomorrow morning. 20 minutes later, we get pulled over by the Polizei. I was in shock. They talk. The cop was also cool enough to merely follow us to the next rest stop gas station, and stood there while we changed the headlight.
