I've never really been a big Maserati fan overall and always valued Ferrari a lot higher but the MC20...definitely THE one Supercar atm in my opinion. Stunning to look at, phenomenal techwise and finally a Maserati that is worth the badge again!
I agree. Maserati is one of those companies that I'm shocked has survived because who the hell actually pays the abominable brand tax they command while putting up with the terrible reliability and eating the massive depreciation? The MC20 is definitely a "We are here" statement and I hope it's a turning point for the company.
@@Ham1001dy because it doesn’t shout “brash, WAGS or footballers” it classy and yes people will let you out at a junction whereas in a Ferrari or a Lamborghini they stick the finger up to you
Loved this review, the MC20 is definitely the rebirth of the Maserati brand. I think with an aftermarket exhaust system better sound would be archived and the ears would be much happier…… Also big shoutout to Alex, super chill dude on camera, love his energy. If I lived in the UK that where I would shop for my next car for sure. Great video, well done Sam!👏🏾👍🏾
The guys at Alexanders are Legends. If I ever am in the position to buy such a vehicle as the Maserati I’m going to them for their support of your channel. Great video Sam
Saw it in the flesh for the first time yesterday, such a beauty, living proof that modern supercars can be amazing. The interior is a bit of a letdown, maybe in a brighter spec, it'll look much more premium. The noise is alright, its going in all the right places, the exhaust just needs a bit of tinkering. Wish this bodes well for the Maserati brand, they have the potential to be the Italian Porsche, hope that PSA/FCA merger is gonna take the brand places.
Yeah Maserati is the perfect brand to contrast Porsche but it's been grossly mismanaged. Ideally it should have gone along with Ferrari when FCA IPO'd it
This is what all car reviews need to be like, genuine excitement, real reactions and gratitude for being given the chance to drive these cars. Other RUclipsrs need to learn from this. Well done STG your smashing it 😁
One of very few midengined cars I like the design on. I actually saw a camouflaged Roadster on the A1 between Bologna and Modena 4 weeks ago. Looked good, was driving so I didn't get a picture. Nice video.
Love the video Sam. Saw an Mc20 on the road here in Chicago and it looked awesome. The sporty but elegant design will age quite well. The road presence was off the charts.
What a beautiful car, saw one this morning at a car meet and was rather surprised by the deep rasp of the V6. Love the content as always, keep up the good work🙌!
I own a late Merak SS and have learned the MC20 90 degree V6 is somewhat of a continuation of that old design. They sound incredibly similar as well due to that unique firing order required for 90 degree V6. Love the lineage.
It really is a lovely bit of design. And honestly from outside that engine sounds kinda fun to me. More than anything though, those wheels are *stunningly beautiful*
Regarding the boot... the MC20 probably uses FCA electronics, so the car needs to be in Park before you can open the boot. I think it's a safety thing, as you can't accidentally open the boot while in gear. Also, no one can open your boot while you're sitting in traffic and steal your luggage LOL
I fucking love the MC20 - it looks incredible and I REALLY want to drive one. I'm sure the noise can be helped a bit with an aftermarket exhaust but it's a limitation of the engine sadly
I’m getting Alpine vibes at the rear (mainly the tail lights) and f-type vibes up front. The blue looks great, looks like a close match to the blue Lotus are offering in the new Emira
In a world of increasing horsepower, crazy aero, and barely legal street tires, this car is refreshing to see. The styling is gorgeous, it's fairly practical, and it looks the part of a supercar. It's crazy fast, and while it isn't designed to set lap records it is designed to put a massive smile on your face and keep it there! It's not cheap, but if I had the means to be after a car in that price range the MC20 would certainly be a top contender.
Gday Sam! Such a lovely car indeed. Maserati are back better than ever. Gorgeous as ever. I'm about to get coffee in my new car too, a w201 190e 2.5 Cosworth
Maserati I remember used to produce some of the supercars that everyday wealth would purchase for you back in the day. They then decided Luxury sedans were the new thing. As a owner of one of the more benign sedans the 4wd was sure footed and i felt handled like my Porsche turbo but not as fast. The interior is covered by luxury leather and fabrics throughout however. The total package was fun to drive with a very sport sounding engine. It was not a typical sedan it was a sedan that sounded like a ferrari. The brakes were excellent and the power was fun but not outstanding. The devaluation was disastrous but after owning one I understand why people put up with the value loss. Unless you have wealth you probably will never own one. But you will miss a sublime experience as when you talk to people everyone will ask you about it. Maserati is a universal WOW.
The 6 cylinder an exhaust sound probably is the reason its passed over but when someone straight pipes it maybe does a cool wrap an some wheels that fix the gap an fitment it will go from boring to badass with just a little bit of help. I really like the MC20 an thats what id do .
excellent video as always STG. Car is glorious. Slightly dissapointed by lack of reiew of the boot(S) though...please can you ensure to include this key element of consumer advice in reviews going forward. #Bootgate
Much better visual presence than the McLarens, love it. As always I think that motoring journalists are just a little to obsessed with the exhaust sound, sounds fine as is….
I would love to see someone do an exhaust upgrade on one and have you re-look at it? You must be able to unleash a bit of noise out of it, even if it's a 6 cylinder, I believe. Even Novitec tried and It's still not blowing me away.
Put an exhaust on it? Also good to see Paul on the channel, feel like we need another group road trip....perhaps in new daily's if Paul ever gets a new one.
First Maserati I would consider buying. The car reminds me of a 4C (they should have called it the 6C and I actually think a potential Alfa supercar got scrapped in favor of this MC20). Just need to put on an aftermarket exhaust and the car is a 10/10 (novitec has one coming I believe). The looks alone are an 11/10.... also nice moonwatch on Sam.
Looks incredibly fast. Does seem very sedate in other modes (Has to be for those pheasant’s). That coffee ☕️ looked great. I need to try and hunt for some non run of the mill coffee places.
I drove this car for thousands miles aswell as the F8 Tributo. Believe me, this feels so much better to drive. You can relax in gt mode, play a little and cruising at high speeds in Sport mode. When you hit Corsa mode, all hell brakes loose, the car becomes a sharp knife, you can point the nose in every direction with super precision and at speeds exceeding 300km/h (which this car reaches so easily) you feel planted, in total control (not like in the F8 where the steering wheel feels like in city mode). This very car is what you need if you like minimalistic things. No super luxury show off interiors (yet the quality is top notch), no complicated hybrid mixing. Just a carbon tub, an engine, 1300kg car with 630hp (which might be 660 cause it’s just too fast IMHO). Ps: the brake pedal has that racecar feeling because you have to use your left foot on it, it was done on purpose to make you use your left foot on racetracks. With 30min training you could use your left foot even in traffic environments. It’s the same feeling you get on go-karts
You and Paul are such a comedic duo 😂 This was very entertaining and such an interesting video, I want an MC20 now !
Looove these supercar coffee runs. Don’t ever stop making them! 😄
Instant smiles when you and Paul are together :-)
That was so funny. Crying at corsa mode. 😂😂

This Maserati is the most bland looking Maserati ever, why does this one outweight Ferrari in general? 💀💀💀
@@Ham1001dy because it doesn’t shout “brash, WAGS or footballers” it classy and yes people will let you out at a junction whereas in a Ferrari or a Lamborghini they stick the finger up to you
@@Ham1001dy check out 7 design carbon fiber aero kit
It looks more like something Ferrari would come out with. No badges on it and I would for sure think that.
You guys do cool stuff individually and I love both of your channels, but you and Paul together on screen is a joy. More collabs please!!!
Loved this review, the MC20 is definitely the rebirth of the Maserati brand.

I hoped so too, but even when pretty much straight piped, she sounds like an EQ 😞 Imagine this setup with the GranTurismo's NA V8! 😍
check out the ARIA Carbon aero kit.
@@peskn Nice. Quite OEM lookin too. Waitin to see what Novitec n Vorsteiner n others come up with
The guys at Alexanders are Legends. If I ever am in the position to buy such a vehicle as the Maserati I’m going to them for their support of your channel. Great video Sam
Love this car! And you just keep upping your video quality 👌 as a long time viewer I can't wait to see what happens next 😁🔥
The whole drive was just Sam and Paul screaming
Hilarious🤣

What a joy! You capture everything I’ve learns in nine other reviews in one climactic experience , without warming the brakes
This is what all car reviews need to be like, genuine excitement, real reactions and gratitude for being given the chance to drive these cars. Other RUclipsrs need to learn from this. Well done STG your smashing it 😁
One of very few midengined cars I like the design on.

Absolutely adore this car. looks phenomenal. Amazing content as always Sam!
Love the video Sam. Saw an Mc20 on the road here in Chicago and it looked awesome. The sporty but elegant design will age quite well. The road presence was off the charts.
I've seen it in person as well stunning all it needs is an aftermarket exhaust 👍🏽
Looks bloody awesome mate. Thanks for the content

Merak SS is a dream car for me ever since I saw it on Top Gear. Congratulations on an amazing classic!
shouting 'gaspacho' to the wildlife! Hilarious!😀 Fantastic content Sam, well Done!👍
I look forward to your Getting Coffee.. episodes.... makes my day... Give me more!!!
I think it is a stunning car. Andrew is a great recurring character on the channel.
So with an aftermarket exhaust we have a 90% perfect car!
100%* :)
It really is a lovely bit of design. And honestly from outside that engine sounds kinda fun to me. More than anything though, those wheels are *stunningly beautiful*
Great video Sam. Love the addition of Paul lol. You two make a great team.
That just looks and drives sublime, I didn't think it sounded too bad. But what a car for the price tag.
Test driven one of these myself and liked it much more than I expected!!!
Cool video. Great to have Paul jump in. The owner is very cool. And the car seems a winner.
This was pure gold Sam pure gold was great to see Paul too - Really loving this channel recently, just perfection!
That looks like tremendous fun on those roads. Interesting review
Regarding the boot... the MC20 probably uses FCA electronics, so the car needs to be in Park before you can open the boot. I think it's a safety thing, as you can't accidentally open the boot while in gear. Also, no one can open your boot while you're sitting in traffic and steal your luggage LOL
I like the sound very deep and understated, quite subtle.👍
You and Paul getting giddy in super cars never gets old
Sunday... coffee and a Sam Maserati moment! Brilliant doors too.
nice to see Paul
I fucking love the MC20 - it looks incredible and I REALLY want to drive one. I'm sure the noise can be helped a bit with an aftermarket exhaust but it's a limitation of the engine sadly
That is one great looking car in that blue! Really stands out. Front looks amazing.
Andrew has to be the nicest geezer ever!! Sam is doing well to have an alliance with him!!
I’m getting Alpine vibes at the rear (mainly the tail lights) and f-type vibes up front. The blue looks great, looks like a close match to the blue Lotus are offering in the new Emira
Very pleased that also you enjoyed it !
Tintin and Captain Haddock - superb review - thanks guys!!!
I saw my first MC20 two days ago in Henley (same blue colour) and it looked magnificent. It also sounded really good too
Awesome! I love the MC20 and I just saw one in the same spec at the dealership here in TO yesterday 💙👍🏼😄

Is this built on the 4C tub? The structure inside seems very familiar.
The most important Maserati for a long time. Looks like they nailed it!
Looks absolutely fantastic! Similar in design to the new Lotus offering.
Driving head on down the road, it gives me heaps of mc12 vibes - So happy you've finally reviewed it! Sick car and sick review!!
Gday Sam! Such a lovely car indeed. Maserati are back better than ever. Gorgeous as ever. I'm about to get coffee in my new car too, a w201 190e 2.5 Cosworth
I think the missing piece is indeed that screaming engine note but I'm sure there will be aftermarket solutions to that.
Yourself and Paul make such a great duo!

Super cars, coffee, excitement and witty banter - More like this please!! 😎
Loved that intro shot. On point 👌
I Love MC 20. Day by Day I desire to have one more and more❤️❤️
Keep making these coffee run videos!
Yesss, been looking forward to this video since the car launched. Love it 😍
It would be a great comeback for you, the chassis pretty much comes from the Alfa 4C with modifications
The 6 cylinder an exhaust sound probably is the reason its passed over but when someone straight pipes it maybe does a cool wrap an some wheels that fix the gap an fitment it will go from boring to badass with just a little bit of help. I really like the MC20 an thats what id do .
Nice car. Keep up the good work.
Great video want to see more of you and Paul together, good stuff
Lovely Jubbly, first time I've seen one.
Looks absolutely epic, reminds me of a Honda NSX almost!
What a beautiful car ,you lucky bugger What a car to review. Great video 👍
SEEN WITH COFFEE, the new chanel Sam. Reviewing cars by taking them to get coffee !!!! What an idea hahaha
this puts a smile on my face
excellent video as always STG. Car is glorious. Slightly dissapointed by lack of reiew of the boot(S) though...please can you ensure to include this key element of consumer advice in reviews going forward. #Bootgate
Much better visual presence than the McLarens, love it. As always I think that motoring journalists are just a little to obsessed with the exhaust sound, sounds fine as is….
That was hilarious when you went into Corsa mode! Great video
What a car...! Blessings from Puerto Rico, Sam!
I cried tears of joy and excitement when you two both reacted to corsa mode!!!! 😂
Great looking motor
I would love to see someone do an exhaust upgrade on one and have you re-look at it? You must be able to unleash a bit of noise out of it, even if it's a 6 cylinder, I believe. Even Novitec tried and It's still not blowing me away.
it really does sound like a powerful 4c
Swear I saw this in Maple Cross the other day. Looked lovely
Enjoyed that - thanks!
This car looks sooooo much BETTER on videos and in person, compared to press photos. This beuty is one of the best looking supercars rn
Wish there was an Alexander's here in the US....I would only shop there!
“Ohh my god Paul” …. “Hang on there Paul!” 😂
Great video Sam.
Put an exhaust on it? Also good to see Paul on the channel, feel like we need another group road trip....perhaps in new daily's if Paul ever gets a new one.
I have seen one yesterday, looks stunning irl 🔥
Gotta love that Maserati, such an interesting car...
Definitely a good looking car, i do like it in blue.
First Maserati I would consider buying. The car reminds me of a 4C (they should have called it the 6C and I actually think a potential Alfa supercar got scrapped in favor of this MC20). Just need to put on an aftermarket exhaust and the car is a 10/10 (novitec has one coming I believe). The looks alone are an 11/10.... also nice moonwatch on Sam.
The 4C was built by the same people. Similar carbon tub also.
You two get to drive some spicy stuff. To see your reactions in corsa....brilliant
Andrew from Alexander’s is a legend!
Great Video Sam! One of my favourites for a while 😃
Looks incredibly fast. Does seem very sedate in other modes (Has to be for those pheasant’s). That coffee ☕️ looked great. I need to try and hunt for some non run of the mill coffee places.

The rear has shades of Alpine A110. Love all Maser's (except diesels)
Hi Sam, great video as always!
Brilliant. Thanks
Omg this MC20 in the Green and Tan RS6 spec would be drooool worthy
Interesting transition with Paul Wallace there
best episode of 2022 so far.
I believe there is an electric only version coming, I'd love to test drive one of those!
What a car what a spec what a video
Shmee’s turned in his M3? Nice Maser💙
Love these videos as I’m drinking my coffee
Another pleasant video. Thanks
