Stradale Centennial

[sionie1]

They produced 9 Inchiostro Blu Grancabrio, so there’s 2 of another colour.
no idea about the GT, hopefully after suitable checks the helpful customer services team will provide more detail.

How many Centennial colours were there? Red, Blue, White any others?

There were three colours Rosso Magna, Blue Inchiostri and Grigio Pietra...All where triple coat finishes. The Grigio Pietra wasn’t a white even though in certain lights it looked it. It was grey .... or dirty white you could call it. Not everyone’s cup of tea but my favourite colour on a Centinnial as wasn’t a fan of the other two colours.

I've seen that grey/white one at HR Owen in London. I've also seen a bianco Centennial as well.

Although officially there were only three official Centennial colours you could order what every colour you wanted.

Thank you for finding out and interesting information, nice to know

Be really interested in finding how many worldwide were produced? At a wild guess it’s more than 100 each of the GranCab & GT MC100.... then the breakdown of colours including Rosso Magma would be xx

Further info from Maserati confirming 274 coupe and 203 GC Centennials worldwide.

Interesting - they told me there were 19 RHD coupes of which 13 were Rosso Magma!

 

[StuartW]

Maserati's record keeping is not their strong point unfortunately!

They state that there were only 15 RHD GTs across three colours but many of us have seen other colours - various greys, blue etc.

They are all super rare though but unless they produced a number plaque like they did with the 3200GT AC models of which there were 75, I think the numbers provided should be taken as a (very) rough guide

Indeed, the best way to keep track of production numbers - mine was #33!

Very true, especially if they are giving a few different figures.... You would have hoped this day in age with serial numbers and computers they would be more accurate.... but hey it’s the Italian style!

I’m new to this forum looking to purchase a Gran Turismo. Have seen the MC Stradale in Rosso Magma in Maidstone Kent and there is another car I like advertised in Retford Rosso Magma MC auto. Im still undecided whether to go for a Stradale or the sport. My concerns are the Carbon ceramic Brakes and clutch replacement on the stradale with 29k miles.

 

[Sd345]

The sensible option seems to be the 2018 MC sport auto with 9k miles but I can’t help but think I will always wish I’d purchased the Stradale.

 

[Zep]

I’d suggest driving them both and deciding which suits your needs most. Some people like the rawness of a stradale, others the smoothness of the auto.
A 29k mile car is probably 3/4 of the way through its clutch, but the carbon discs are pretty hardy, as long as they aren’t chipped or damaged. Pads are flipping expensive though. But they are awesome.

Welcome to the forum…

As Zep says, you’d need to test drive them as they will be quite different experiences.

But if your concern on the Kent Stradale is clutch replacement then have a chat with them, having spoken with the owner I know he would be open to funding a new clutch if it secured a sale.

Good luck!

Agreed. I went from a GTS to a Stradale and the differences whilst fairly subtle definitely put a smile on your face.
The selling dealer of the Centennial will also be able to put a diagnostic machine on the car to tell you how much clutch life you have left
Good luck, they're both excellent cars

Thanks for the advice. I am planning on taking them both for a test drive to see which I like best. I have a feeling it will be the Stradale but will see how I get on with the F1 gearbox. I do like Rosso Magma which unfortunately doesn’t come accross the same in the pictures. Imo it really does suit the car.

That would give me peace of mind if they would do that. I’ve asked them about the brake pad wear which they are going to look into and come back to me.

 

[Bladerunner]

Seller quoted me clutch at 52% and brakes at 40% (not sure whether that’s discs or pads or both)

So be interesting to see what the dealer comes back with but would recommend you get a PPI and/or them validating these values if looking to go ahead

As per other parts of this thread, I've just swapped a Sport Auto for a Strad and both are great cars. The Auto goes and handles well and the improved software on the gearbox post 2013 means manual mode works well and it sounds great.
But.... the fixed dampers on the Strad mean better handling and damping over the compromise that is Skyhook and the brakes are so much better. The gearbox takes a bit of getting used to (I've found a little lift as you change up makes a huge difference) and the exhaust noise in race!
As others have said, drive both and see what suits you; I was perfectly happy with my old one - the Centennial in Rosso Magma is the only thing I would have swapped it for.
