@JayEmm@Friends, I love Maserati’s and own the “final” GTS which I purchased new four years ago. The main reason for the brand’s infamous depreciation curve is their sales and after-sales experience. Like the NSX, they will sell you a £300k car but treat you no different than a customer who’s purchased a £30k car. The fact that Maserati’s are sold alongside Alfas in the same showroom says it all (Ferrari never made this mistake).
Looking at depreciation heroes, I noticed that there are 2023 McLaren Arturas starting at £135k on Autotrader now. That includes 4 years remaining of the factory service and warranty plan. £100k off for a year old car!. Certainly worth Ant trying one of those.
Followed a black one of these the other week, beautiful looking car and massive road presence. But whats with the new supercars sounding crap? One of the things I personally want in a sports car is Amazing engine sound.
James having a meltdown on Ant's preference of more front splitter for MC20 is just hilarious. Also, James' patent-pending three-point hillstart torture test is important, not just to assess car's ability to be controlled by the means of throttle, gearbox, clutch, brakes and visibility, but also the driver's capability of controlling said cars. Driving test should include that, I think. BTW about the NSX, there's this Thermal Orange Pearl NSX at AutoTrader listed for GBP250k. I think people started to realize just how good it is and how ahead of its time the NSX is. And maybe because we know there will be nothing else like it from Honda in the future. Also that Thermal Orange Pearl looks stunning.
Yeah, although in the case of many modern cars, like this, you've got no manual handbrake and, no clutch pedal, so you're entirely reliant on the hillstart assist software to electronically manage both on a hillstart. You've just got to solve the problem with more throttle.
Love the look of the MC20. Proper baller. Been a few questions about the ride but didn’t seem to bother you. The R8 GT has the potential to be more than a new super car in 20 years time I think. The best version of a brand sensation in its day
The 2011/2012 R8GTs are so underrated and undervalued. It's a different thing for sure. Let's see if people realise how special it is in future. Time will tell.
I always consider skipping videos about the MC20. It bores me to the point of nodding off. Give me a real Maserati, with a great sounding V8, but this thing they can keep to themselves. Violent appreciation is fully deserved, imho.
Capristo did an exhaust... Otherwise, get in touch with Aros Marmitte in Pian Camuno, Brescia in Italia. I'm sure they'll sort you out with a custom made one .
I'm not sure they can fix the sound of this. They can make it louder but not change the quality much. I've listened to several and they're just not quite able to make it sound better.
It's certainly a very beautiful car, it's just a shame about the lack of engine noise and interior quality that doesn't quite meet expectations considering the price. I would certainly consider the 488 to be a safer purchase currently, with reference to depreciation, as MC20 will most likely continue to lose a higher % of value in comparison. I would also consider the 488 to be the better built car and have the superior engine, build quality and ownership experience.
I agree with Jay... the new maserati ISNT A MASERATI AT ALL. Maserati MUST have a V8. Every maserati I have ever owned and infact even thr correct maserati is a V8! Yes. The ferrari twin turbo V8! V6....??? Pssshhhhhh
Part of the reason for glacial depreciation is that they’re massively overpriced to begin with. Sounds really poor due to V6 and petrol particulate filter. They’ll be available for £100K in not too long
This car started life as an Alfa 6C about 8 years ago, then it was given to Maserati 2 years later, was initially shown in 2019, and eventually came back to Alfa as the 33 Stradale 1 year ago. I believe the F1 tech heads were intended to represent a tangible fruit of the meaningless Alfa Romeo title sponsoring of Sauber F1, that's why they make no sense on a Maserati.
@@chris8535 true but 1) this one, as they said, is not really pretending to be a super car as it is pretty old school in its setup; 2) this one now is overpriced so supply from new will be much lower
The beloved 911(not the gt series) doesn't have a particular nice sound but no-one seems to care. I think that mc20 is a wonderful car in the wrong price......
I just start from the assumption that it is an Italian car and thus will have constant mechanical problems and cause to you to constantly hemorrhage money because it was deliberately designed to make you hemorrhage money.

Been watching the NSX prices as a first super car. It’s a while off but what a machine
Imagine they just TT the old V8 kept some of that sound with 700+ bhp 👌

While we are looking at cars that drop like stones - Latest DBS is this price range now too. Must be worth a look
No way! I just looked! £135k for an Artura! Ok, it's on! We just need to find someone who will owns one who will let us review it.

Yeah, this is it's main issue. If only it sounded like a 296 at least!
A defining characteristic of Maserati is an incredible sounding engine. It's such a shame that this one didn't have that.
Yeah, can you imagine if it had an amazing V8 sound?!

James just a point but you need to check your seatbelt position a if you had a crash where it is, it would do some shoulder / chest damage 👍
I'd buy this car simply because it's different . I like the way it looks .
That's the main thing is got going for it. It's gorgeous of course.
I just assumed the budget had increased until the depreciation was explained 😢
I know right!!

Really like the format
We're really glad to hear that!
The Cielo will be the one to have. That being said, I'd much rather go for 488, 720 or 296 instead!
Indeed
I agree with Jay... the new maserati ISNT A MASERATI AT ALL. Maserati MUST have a V8. Every maserati I have ever owned and infact even thr correct maserati is a V8! Yes. The ferrari twin turbo V8! V6....??? Pssshhhhhh
Remember that Maseratis used V6 for decades.
@ThanassisBB yeah they did when maserati were sh1te
What’s not to like May be the price❤

naming the car after the year of release was lame. it's an MC6.
100k off and it's still too expensive
Just missing a more thorough exterior walk around and discussion.
Thanks for the feedback. At present you can get that in James's review, over on JayEmm on Cars.
So they ain't worth 250k now but will be in 10 years
...meaning that they are worth it now if you are a true lover and keeper
Far more likely it will be worth 70k. We are in a super car bubble
@@chris8535 true but 1) this one, as they said, is not really pretending to be a super car as it is pretty old school in its setup; 2) this one now is overpriced so supply from new will be much lower
soulless thing.
I would take 1 quattroporte 4 V8, 1 3200 & 1 Grand Turismo instead
The beloved 911(not the gt series) doesn't have a particular nice sound but no-one seems to care. I think that mc20 is a wonderful car in the wrong price......
Because at 95k new is the best handling sports cars there is short of the even cheaper cayman.
Maserati needs to get rid of the Burger King emblem.
With the price of the 720s and the fact you're borrowing/you've borrowed one recently, should Ant be trying that out as well?
Watch this space 😉
It is a gray waste land inside. Where is the excitement? The theater? The passion? I can't even hear the engine.😢
I just start from the assumption that it is an Italian car and thus will have constant mechanical problems and cause to you to constantly hemorrhage money because it was deliberately designed to make you hemorrhage money.
Where's the flair you usually get with maserati? It's boring inside and out.
No one wants to buy an ev super car
Italian NSX?? Give over..... The Maserati is a Fiat underneath... Guaranteed to fall apart guaranteed to break down. The NSX is the complete opposite
