Saw this last week. I like it.
As Benny said, the twin pipes are a bit Porsche. Surely they will go with a similar set up of the existing GT for the exhaust?
I like it more than the MC20.

I think it looks great overall and if they make it a true 2+2 like the old GT then they will have the useable coupe market to themselves.

Aren't those wheels the same as the MC20 ? I like them...

I expect they'll price it more along the lines of recent Astons. Without getting all political, it seems the rich are getting richer and the poor getting more secondhand.

So what do we reckon? £130k ish starting price for the V6? Rising to £150K for the V8S version? Plus options?

Wonder if there will be a V8...V6 Hybrid and Electric maybe the same as the MC20. The performance you get form the V6 hybrid they may think a V8 isn't worth the outlay...…...Who knows though.

Not sure if the above is fan art or a leaked render from Maserati but engine options might be the V6 Neptune engine, V6 hybrid or fully lecky.
I'd take the hybrid. I might get 500 miles from the tank rather than just the 438!

I think so Andy. IMHO they just add to the fussiness, and out of the whole design they are the first thing I would change.
PH
Trouble is if they do that then the design looks bloated and/or the rear seats are useless and the whole point of buying the car for many of us is gone.

Agreed, if you want more compact dimensions there are loads of options with useless back seats from the likes of Aston, Porsche, Ferrari etc

I understood new GT and GC are to be fully electric only, no ICE. If that’s the case then I’m out!

I can why that would be though.....If they ban petrol and diesel in 15 years not point really designing any other type of engine surely as they need to start developing this type of powerplant for the future...….

I believe that this may be an artist render rather than any kind of leaked image but it looks to be on the right line. The only official image released to my knowledge so far is this silhouette
Maserati has confirmed that there will be petrol at launch followed by hybrid & EV so I would imagine it will be based on the same powerplant as the MC20 is going to get which will be exciting.
Looking forward to another virtual launch in the coming months hopefully

As per Stuart's comments, that's a render so should be taken with a pinch of salt. We are seeing a fresh new design language from Maserati, starting with MC20, so there will be some design cues to take from it. But otherwise, it's just one person with a decent design programme's idea of what it could look like.
I was told also that there will be a petrol at launch along with the electrified/hybrid versions either at the same time or soon after as per their new strategy.
Hope it has 4 useable seats and sounds the business. Those are my main criteria!
