It looks nothing like this at all

Coincidence... I'm sure of it.

In 2013, at the LA Car Show, Maserati had on display in their booth, one of the most beautiful cars I had ever seen, the Alfieri. It was a concept car but the Maserati staff manning the booth assured everyone who inquired that it would be available the following summer. It was (is still) stunning, and despite Maserati's bad reputation for reliability, I actually wondered about ordering one. It is now 7 3/4 years later, and no Alfieri with all sorts of rumors that it will emerge as an electric vehicle in a couple of years. Until you see one of these new cars driving down the road, don't believe any of it.

I rather like the Maserati super car. With all the modern tech and engineering available now it's a cool time to be a car guy/gal. What they are doing with some of these modern super cars is just bonkers and it's cool to witness :)

What a rip-off. The Jag is still better looking after all these years.

The grill looks like a woman that has had too many Botox injections

I'm sure that lower lip could be corrected. Just negotiating my driveway entry ramp a couple of times should do it!.

I think it looks great and the styling is far more in line with Maserati’s recent styling cues than anything jaguar. I actually like this iteration of the classic trident wheels.

Lowpass 09-14-2020 10:06 AM

Wheels yes, Sound yes. Modern iteration of Daimler SP250 mouth, and Fiero dashboard not so much!

Mahjik 09-14-2020 01:38 PM

It's out of my price range, but I'd definitely do this rather than a McLaren 570s if I were shopping in that price range. I'd have to do their other wheel set though that they offer.

No pops and crackles... perfect!

Did anyone notice how long it took for the engine to spool down? I like the flat plane crank sound, but the spool down seemed odd.

Driving around Italian streets and squares would melt my head. There were 2x I thought it was heading for a crash LOL.
We've an island city here called Belvedere, and it's like that... head to head with another car, and you're backing up for some time, etc.
Can't wait to rent one of these next year!
We're literally supposed to be in Taormina today, visiting family and vacationing in Sicily. We were bummed til we saw that the company my wife works for, Four Seasons, is opening a hotel there next year. Huzzah!
Love the dog bark echo-ing in the square, near the end. Very Euro to my ears.
