Well, it's a good Sunday today to wake up uber late. Just as I made my coffee, I am greeted with this. Really enjoyable format, straight to the point, still with a lot of cinematography, but centered around the car from the get-go, ambient sounds only.

Yes, a truly beautiful car with a design of its own. But it isn’t selling very well, is it ! Maserati is at a delicate turnpoint. It doesn’t really fit in the Stellantis group. Maserati must rejoin Ferrari. There is no other outcome, or it dies 🤷🏻♂️
@@montycrawford8393 I haven’t seen anything to suggest it isn’t selling well and it’s a bit cheaper than a 296 that no one other long term Ferrari owners can buy
Great video thank you. This is a such rare car, even here in Southern California. Porsche, Ferrari and Lambos everywhere, I rarely see a MC20. Gorgeous
It looks beautiful, sounds good too. In a way, I feel like this is the Alfa 4C's big brother. I know they are both quite different, but that is my (weird) perception.
Well it was supposed to be the Alfa 4C 6 cylinders successor (Alfa 6C) with the carbon fiber monocoque and all, just like the 4C which btw was made in the Maserati factory. They then chose to sell it as a Maserati. Interesting you caught that
The Nettuno engine is one of the very few examples of a pre-chamber engine configuration out on the market. The tech first appeared in F1 engines a decade ago, before even journalists started writing articles about it. As someone with a bit of mech.eng. experience having worked with OEMs on such configurations (glad to have worked even with the ones who developed this exact engine), I know most of the benefits, drawbacks etc. but one thing I NEVER asked anyone: does it SOUND different because of the pre-chamber? Alternatively said: can you tell whether any part of the combustion sound is to be attributed to that? I've seen the MC20 at least 3x in Zurich and the truth is, it's exactly that: unique.
I almost forgot how gorgeously beautiful the Swiss Alps driving passes are until I notice this recent video, looks like a new season with few more episodes to come. This spider model do have some nice curves by the way.
Seeing the clouds coming over the mountain in real time was epic!!! So glad I got to see that awesome shot!!!!......and the MC20 is stunning as well!!!
The V6 in the Giulia is definitely related to the one in the Maserati. The design of the cylinder heads is the biggest difference. A V8 would definitely sound better.
@@flavioc5389 They definitely share lots of components and if it was a blank paper design it would have a 60 or 120 degree V. You are of course correct about the position of the turbos. I think we’re both right but there are a number of components that appear on the MC20, the Ferrari F154 and the Quadrifoglio. It also produces a lot more power than the engine in the Giulia. The biggest shock is the weight of the car. Most would have thought 1,500 kg max.
@@flavioc5389 Road & Track have done a video revealing all the shared components. However, in essence it is all new and unique to Maserati, you’re right and I’m not. Doesn’t seem to sound so good on the video
I own a beautiful Bianco Audace MC20 (spec'd to $315k) and absolutely love it. It's so fast, drives beautifully and I personally love the minimalist interior and build quality. Resale market is way underpriced in my opinion... but what else would I say as an owner 😀
This and the 4c are 💯 overlooked gems for VERY different reasons. The MC20 is a superb GT car that outshines any z06 or 458 or 911 except in speed, and if everyone would just chill out and realize only 1% are genuine Fangios, speed is no longer cool nor impressive on public roads: When you're actually important, people will wait for you, which is why STYLE is more important than speed when the clock isn't sticking anything up your 4ss. Drive well, choose wisely🍀
Nice to see Luke behind something exotic and not so common, let’s be honest here, every Tom, Dick and Harry and Luke somewhere has a Porsche, but this, this is art on wheels, and it’s lines are so beautiful!
When you look into this car and how it was designed and created it only gets more special, for me there is some kind of f1 vive with it and it truly made me smile.
So beautifully shot. Would love to see you drive the LC500 2024 from Lexus. It's a GT Car with all the bells and whistles. Beautiful interiors, curves, SOUND, and comfort. Worth checking out.
“Italian” cars with Luke…..where’s all the Porsche’s gone 😂. Great video as usual. These don’t get a lot of love but I think they’re a nice looking thing.
I got a chance to race this exact car at Speed Las Vegas and also raced the Ferrari 488. This car was smoother but not as quick and brakes not as strong as the Ferrari. The 488 has relentless pickup top end. But this MC 20:is gorgeous and fun. I’ll take either. Lol
Just so you know the stearing wheel is the same as the Giulia with a retrim , I like thsi car and think they are under apreciated. That colour is just perpect
Maserati's depreciate harder than any other manufacturer (the Ghibli is the most depreciating car you can currently buy) yet I bet they have still had no issues selling these, because they look so damn good. Actually, might be my favourite rear end of any car that has come out in the past 18 months (excluding the 812 comp)
Car companies need to realize that their performance vehicles should aim to sound like pagani zondas/lexus LFAs/t50s/valkyries etc. that’s it, that’s the secret. This car sounds like my cordless vacuum cleaner.

OK !!! Directly a MC20...Cielo (that's why you lose your voice (too much air 🤣🤣🤣) Great test. And fortunately that this car and all others are not perfect because everybody would have one and it wouldnt be a special one anymore... Nobody's perfect too 😉
Adding pre-chamber combution to the Giulia V6 engine does take away some of the sound as we can see in MC20 models... However the biggest drawback of M20 is its weight - how can a small mid engine, carbon monocoque car weight 1700 kg? Its basically the same weight as Giulia QV. How on earth... when McLaren Artura, which is similar car (V6 and carbon monocoque) that even has a hybrid system weight below 1500 kg? No clue...
Beautiful to look at but a very disappointing engine and a boring / ordinary cabin at a high price not a winning formula unfortunately Maserati under delivers yet again!
