With the MC shift software

Evening guys , so checking the chassis number with the main dealers it’s not an MC Shift. It’s a Sport Auto. Not a bad car from initial views. There’s still service history to prove.... rear parking sensors don’t work (found out courtesy of my wife in the back saying are you sure there on this .. your very close lol) what’s the average life on a Auto sport clutch ?

Isn't the Auto Sport the ZF box with the 'MC' software. So no clutch?

<prepares to be completely incorrect>

Oliver did you drive the car today? Did it have a gear stick? The photos on the advert on Pistonheads (numbers 6-9) don’t, which it what was making some say it was an MC Shift....

Maserati don't help themeselves with liberal and conflicting use of the acronym 'MC'. Photos are an MC automated clutch car and rare with it.

Auto with 'MC Software' just has faster shifts in Sport Manual. Same gearbox as mine apart from that.

PS Having looked at the dealer's website it is correctly advertised. Nice car for someone subject to the usual checks.

So this must be a mule.... All MC Shift cars have no gear stick in the centre console but a 1 and R button. I will put money on it that if this car is pictured correctly that it is 100% an MC Shift.

And sorry Oliver but there is no clutch on an Auto box.

Correct it's not an MC Shift but it is a Sport MC with a semi auto gearbox as the dealer says not a Sport Auto.

 

[Oliver6796]

I did drive the car. 1&R as stated above. It’s defiantly not an MC of any type according to Maserati. Contigo .. time to put your money against the dealer lol. Either way I think I’m warming up to it. One thing I did note is that the front bumber had parking sensors, that’s unusual isn’t it ?

Que?

If it has a 1 and R button as per the pics and now confirmed by Oliver then it is an MC Shift. Unless I'm in an alternative universe or forgotten my GT's..... All Auto cars (S, Sport, MC Auto Shift had a gear lever for their ZF boxes).

And yes I spoke to the dealer who confirmed that the car has not had a clutch replacement.

You may be confusing the lack of front sensors with an MC stradale?

Maserati UK? Honestly with my dealings with them I'd trust Arthur Daly more!

I think he's confused. He needs a GT/S 101!

Sorry thought you were drawing the distinction between a MC Shift GTS and a Sport MC, same gearbox in each as I know you know.

 

[Oliver6796]

Ah I see goodfella , thanks for clarifying.
I’ve also confirmed it’s NOT an mc of any sort (Lancaster Maserati)

 

[Oliver6796]

On a separate note , I was really happy with Lancaster M , they were really helpful. Even despite me saying I need the answers now as I’m stood in front of it. Responded very well and more than happy to.

Here we go....

There are a few versions of the auto that it became downright confusing!!!!

4.7 GTS MC Shift (Robotic Manual Clutch, newer low friction engine power hike in MY2012 4.7 MC Shift from 434 to 444 bhp or 440 to 450 PS (same as Strad power) 1 and R buttons on centre console.
4.7 GTS Auto (ZF Box, identified with quad pipes rather than MC Shift Ovals, although the GTS Auto with sport pack added side skirts and oval pipes!)
4.7 Sport MC Auto Shift and MC box (same as the MC Shift)
4.7 GT Sport is MY13 onwards and is the current production model - seats, steering wheel, skyhook settings all changed together with a new nose, DRLs and new wheel choices.
4.7 MC and Sport MY18 with ZF 6 speed box MC Auto Shift and MC comes with same bodykit as 4 seater Strad but minus the Carbon ceramics. Power up to 460hp.

Go back to them and ask them again after explaining that the car has a robotic manual clutch and has the 1 and R buttons to denote that.

Car must be mis recorded as the photo clearly shows a GT Sport with the MC gearbox and not the MC Auto gearbox. If it was the car I wanted it would not put me off but it’s not an auto and the dealer is advertising it correctly.

So are you saying you think the car is a 4.7 Sport MC?
