Saw this at the Maserati factory a few weeks ago.

Well I think it is the same one. Meridien has just taken in this delivery miles Stradale. It was waiting in the prep area for final inspection before shipping out. It was the only one there is this colour and with the carbon bonnet so surely has to be the same one. Myself and the guide spent a while chatting by it and debating the the unpainted carbon bonnet.

It's meant to be Andy- snap it up!

Rather daring of the dealer to purchase that for stock.

Was thinking the same Pete...It seems that the Uk are the ones who aren't fussed on the carbon bonnet...Most of the other countries like it...Needs to be body coloured as far as I'm concerned........

So what % weight saving does it offer??? I recon less than 1% so whats the point and all that expense when to most people it will look like a wrap.

It complements the carbon fibre door handles!

I don't like it but I respect them for ordering it.

 

[GeoffCapes]

Love the colour. Hate the bonnet. If my lottery numbers come up, I'd have that, but only after they'd colour coded the bonnet.

That'll be the one a Wilton then, it looked bl@@dy gorgeous with the sun on it:

Just love the colour......Look at the wheel arch with the sun on it...The carbon looks great in the sunlight but just wouldn't order it...Far to *** fest.

This is the one to have and save a few K over that one.

Yep, some will see at as a wrap....but I will say it doesn't look like a wrap in the flesh.........and it is popular in in Europe and the rest of the world as there was 4 like that at the factory and the guide did say it has been popular.....but not in the UK......I am with you though Pete much better painted.

Absolutely love the colour, interior and even the nice touch 100 Year centre caps.

Hate the Carbon Fibre bonnet.

It's a Maser. Not a Fast and Furious special.

Not a fan in fact hate the bonnet

It wouldnt matter what the weight saving was for me, Its just too ugly.

The colour is outstanding but I have to agree that the carbon fibre bonnet is questionable.

I have one of these colour coded, the colour is Magma Red, it is a 3 stage pearl and truly spectactular, changes colour with the day.

Currently it's only available on this edition of the Centenary Stradale

 

[Andyk]

Yep, Firefox....That's the one anf just one of the best colours to come out on a Maserati for some time..Love it.

 

[hoyin]

I would only have the carbon bonnet if the rest of the car was black.

 

[hoyin]

But aren't all the bonnets in the strad carbon? But just painted?

 

[safrane]

That's my understanding as well...I think its rather like the cars with roll cages such as the RS porkers...just trying to hard to look like a race car.
