This months EVO - MC Stradale

[Andyk]

SorryAdam slip of the ps3 control ....meant auto car....they road test it. The red and black just doesn't look nice.

Dont like the stradale in blue....

Not read it yet but came today...A road test of the MC Stradale giving it a 5 star review with the only negative that it has only 2 seats.....Brillaint...Also they test drive its racing counterpart as well..Worth a look......I want one even more now.

The car is too extreme. They have turned a GT 4 seater into a 2 seater. If you want a 2 seater there are better and faster cars out there. I would like to see Maserati offer the same kind of spec as a Granturismo S but retain the 4 seats

i am not sure about this car, looking at it in Evo now and i just cant love it like the normal Granturismo, will have to see one i think, i dont like white on a Maserati either unless it is the MC12.

Looking forward to reading the review, but I have to agree that if you are going to strip down a car for performance then give it that performace. I'm guessing there is a 6 figure price tag hanging off the car, but it is not as quick/agile as other similarly priced machines such as the GT3 and the other usual suspects (Fezza, Lambo). If Ferrari can get 483BHP out of the 4.3 V8, then surely Maserati can wring more out of the 4.7? Are we still subject to 'non-competition' between Mazza Fezza even though the price tags are now much closer? Answers on a postcard...

 

[Maser Sod]

That's not to say I still wouldn't have one though! ;-)

 

[Andyk]

This a very desirable car which i'm sure will hold its value because of numbers made.

 

[GransportFan1]

it is less expensive than i thought, 110k seems pretty reasonable.

I remember Clarkson saying when testing the Alfa 8c that he wished they had made it more powerful but that would have put it ahead of Ferrari which for Fiat would be like shooting yourself in the foot. I don't think we will ever see a production Maserati faster than a Ferrari

Agree...its in a niche for the FIAT empire...........

Probably Andy but no more so than say an MC Victory over a standard Gransport

 

[Andyk]

Not sure UM as the MC Victory was just a GS with some nice seats and some carbon fibre .... This is a totally different car to the standard GT ... Slightly more power, different set up, suspension, brakes, etc .... Its different enough from the standard car to make people sit up and notice it. The GS MC Victory went on sale and went unoticed unless you were a Maserati nut ... Like us...
