MC20 in the Canyons: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHLEZGane9aJh5Ysi=s5YPHo6uNg06Ne3J

[@coryestewart]

These look so much better in person. They also sound so much better in person. My neighbors friend came over with his MC20 and STO one day, I was shocked at the sound.

[@Juandinggong]

I agree 100% I saw one yesterday and it looks very impressive!!

[@myemailiscool]

Yes it's expensive but it *looks* expensive and exotic. Like nothing else on the road. Makes a statement everywhere you go and feels special, which is everything I want if i'm spending that much. I'd buy one

[@TTGamingTrinh]

I agree. Not a maserati fan but love the mc20. So unique looking and seems like a great driving experience

[@Dallas867]

paying 100k extra because a car looks exotic is absurd. if you want this type of performance get a gtr and save 100k, or if you want the look then get a lotus.

[@user-xz4rl8gv2x]

Maserati is a poor man's Lamborghini

[@Defy_Convention]

This is poor man car wealthy drive Bugatti

[@defyyourlogic487]

The only Maserati that still properly holds up the Maserati brand name

[@drdominodog5168]

This is the first modern supercar that's gotten me excited since the 458.

[@jimalcock5132]

I am lucky enough to go from a 458 into this!! It’s epic !

[@n.j.crawler]

Ok

[@BandoLando]

7:12 a true altima in its natural state

[@bendekoning5120]

I saw one in person for the first time a few weeks ago- I always thought it looked goofy, but seeing it in person is different- it has a really nice presence when you see it in person. Looks like a blast, thanks for the video

[@rforracing]

7:14 wild Altima spotted.

[@Defy_Convention]

The SE-R would smoke this thing

[@ahjeezrick]

I’ve never found myself wanting a Maserati how i want this one. Spec is beautiful

[@stevenkakouz6833]

5,200 a month 😫

[@Coronerlex]

These things are so cool. The fact that they're a good 100k less expensive than any of their Italian competitors and seem to be available NOW (based on a quick auto trader search) make the MC20 quite an intriguing option.

[@TheTopher]

Agreed, you’re not sacrificing any power and this has all the sex appeal you could want imo. If you like turbo noises and can do without a V10 or V8 it’s a good option!

[@singingLeaf123]

I mean the next generation of ferrari will be v6 as well with a hybrid@@TheTopher

[@RS3NDIT]

I'VE BEEN WAITING ON THIS. Someone in my area has one, absolutely stunning car and I honestly really love the way it sounds. I'm a bit of a weirdo that way, always appreciated a nice V6 note and this has a very cool grittiness to it that I just adore.

[@mariorivas9673]

Finally a very good car review, talking in depth about the engine, breaking and steering feel, gearbox, etc CONGRATS

[@ARentz07]

I love that the engine sounds like an engine. It is an authentic sound, unlike what you get in lots of other cars today.

[@paultruesdale7680]

I would say it looks to be the finest handling car you’ve tested. I was really impressed when you tested it out in California. The chassis just deals with any road surface. It sounds a little better this time around, though inside it’s still pretty boring. Gorgeous looking on the outside, somewhat boring on the inside. Not sure why they called it the MC20 but it deserves something more special, like being named after some track or like. I can’t wait for the night POV. You seem to pick the best times for driving, I can’t remember seeing a cop in any of your videos, they’re probably just drooling like the rest of us. Exciting as always T. 👍

[@jackkennedy7078]

the MC-20s engine will go down in history. What a glorious machine.

[@jakub_repela23]

Props for getting the dirt off of the shoes before getting in🔥🔥🔥

[@lcofficial3084]

dreamcar material, absolutely stunning and unique, perfect

[@ddogg14]

That twin-turbo whistle is mint

[@frax777]

What a beautiful car and color, great video as always. Cheers!

[@BlargMyShnoople]

is this a Giulia qv engine bored out to make it 3L? Sound is so similar in the mid range. Maserati messes a lot of things up but supercar design is definitely not one of them

[@sunnysaenngarm5375]

yup basically the same engine

[@user-io4sr7vg1v]

This has an additional spark plug per cylinder and pre-combustion chamber.

[@colin1992]

Beautiful sounding and looking machine

[@teokennedy9785]

Great review, you’ve earned my subscription!

[@miguelkennedy9520]

TheTopher makes the best videos ever :)

[@egzonsalihu1451]

Every Italian super cars are amazing. I love it.🇮🇹❤❤❤

[@Ithinksono]

Great design and materials overall , and it really looks exotic! Definitely the coolest Maserati. The interior is a bit bland but that's not the worst place to skimp on a performance car.

[@mohammeds9915]

Get your hands on the drop top version, and compare your experience. Getting this close of a perspective is helpful 👍🏽

[@defyyourlogic487]

The only Maserati that still properly holds up the Maserati brand name

[@littlelub]

How does the steering wheel feel on this?

[@TheChismillionaire]

The fact these are selling for around 170 shows they are the best value in exotic land at the moment

[@stevesosebee5860]

I saw one in Beverly Hills, California a few weeks ago. What a cool car 😊

[@marcygoh]

The other MC20 produced severe wind noise from over 250 km/💦 Is this vehicle similar ?

[@Clairebaby223]

The turbos sound dope af

[@juhsztn]

saw a red mc20 just like this one in beverly hills the other day

[@Defy_Convention]

Rollin' in the 'rati

[@peterpetersen4789]

Nice Video, wonderful car!!! Kind regards from Germany!!! 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️👍👍

[@DiscoveryLegend]

Closest thing to an Alfa 33 that we’ll see here. Future used purchase.

[@ninjapants7688]

Not usually a fan of Maserati, but this is the exception.

[@Trikkyy]

Sounds heavenly!!

[@vipermoon_]

Could you include mass in the specs in description for your videos?

[@Triptisim]

Where’s my Italian v12 in this thing? Jokes aside- the turbos sounds are great, very cool car and good to see Maserati back in the game with this thing, always wish it sung a bit more though!

[@mavrk.d]

What's with the kindle fire in the middle of the car? All that money for that?

[@darkestpointofficial]

Hopefully if they do a refresh for 2024 I’d like to see better handling in them

[@pavelbratchenko3885]

It's almost reminds me of a 2jz. 3.0 liters, 6 cylinders, insane amount of power per cylinder/liter. Although the price is a bit too much tbh. I'm not sure what you get here for the price of an average Ferrari or McLaren/Porsche. Turbo lag maybe?

[@abdullaharif6455]

Please do the Grecale Trofeo!

[@egzonsalihu1451]

Maserati MC20 is very nice super car. I love it.

[@alaskandonut]

Image how insane a spider version of this would be

[@niveketihw1897]

This or the Lotus Emira manual V6 supercharged for half the price?

[@royshavrick]

The terrifying and rough nature of that Turbo V6 in this car is absolutely savage. Like an old Koenigsegg or something. Just pissed off and angry. It's so cool.

[@t8506]

Clearly the Lotus. Not sure who is dumb enough to pay for the MC20.

[@vipermoon_]

Considering how close to this you can option a Maserati GT, this isn't such a bad value in their lineup

[@michaelunicorn6494]

beautiful

[@WatchMeBURNFuel]

Sweet car. Side note: Does everyone do 90+mph by you? I feel like when you get on the highway doing 85, there's always a Ford F150 or minivan trying to pass you lol

[@yyyyyeeeee4060]

This car really does give off the vibe of a bigger 4C.

[@DigitalYojimbo]

wasnt this supposed to start at 150k ?

[@nanashi7779]

I know it might be a bit difficult to get but could we have an AML Vantage review anytime soon? Thanks for the content Topher!

[@TheTopher]

Haven't had many Astons in MI recently, maybe this winter out in CA!

I thought that the windows were open when they were closed. This vehicle needs much more sound insulation for the money.

[@KPSX1]

Italian 🇮🇹 Cars 🔥💪🏻 This car is absolutely brilliant!

[@iMixMaSteR1]

Crazy price. Does Maserati think people are cross shopping this with a Ferrari and low end Lamborghinis?

[@movinstr8]

We need nsx type s comparison video

[@SunShineStateMetalShows]

Dream car

[@motaz1975]

being a maserati, wonder if it will fall apart after it gets some miles and years on it.

[@sergejur]

I would buy one but I have a underground car park and I don't know 😅

[@evolusd]

Emira on steroids, I like it!

[@JDM_eastcoast]

that v6 on that engine bay looks tiny. they shoudl have gone with v8 at least..or v10 to be perfect

[@chuckct]

Sounds like a loud cabin

[@Epmefish]

Thing sounds like a Buick GNX. Is it just me?

[@Spankey360]

Do these depreciate in value like the other maseratis? Maybe I can get one for 35k in 5 years haha

[@JB-zu5gb]

So far, no. I've been watching the market incredibly closely and low optioned ones are hovering in the low 210-220's, those with more options are sticking in the 240+. If something with front lift (the only option I care about) drops below 200 or someone is willing to deal, that's a range I can accept. I'm very interested to see what low mileage 2022's will be in another year or two.

[@kamogelosepuru8277]

It shares the same interior as the 2023 audi rs3😊

[@janson2911]

This car looks more like a Jaguar than an Italian supercar. It kinda resembles Jaguan CX75

[@baileybrewer1172]

It actually sounds pretty good to me. A 458 sounds better but that’s a 10+ year old car now

[@AlexanderRodriguez-cw1bl]

🤩

[@aspecreviews]

Sounds like an NSX!

[@coop220]

just a v6 and it doesnt look like one actually

[@reesecup4567]

1:11 door panel alignment and window weather stripping gap by the b pillar looks atrocious for that price... can't unsee

[@barsaf9989]

5:32 Really? It's soft? According to the throttle house dudes, it's extremely stiff even in its softest setting. Didn't motortrend say the same thing too?

[@TheTopher]

Yeah that’s an interesting note, this MC20 was surprisingly compliant, you can tell from the video it didn’t have as much of a problem putting power down as the car we drove out in CA.

[@EazybakeEvan]

300k for a V6? C'mon now, is it really even a super car?

[@gky3019]

Oh come on, times have changed sadly V8s are getting rarer these days. Atleast we still get new exciting cars that run on good old internal combustion.

[@Stevie4171]

Don’t base it off the engine but rather the performance. Is the ford gt not a super car cause it has a v6????

[@js002003]

used to own one of these. can confirm its raw and a bit scary. def never drove it in race mode before the tires were warm.

[@COLOTLdesigns]

oh no, not in michigan😟

[@alexdefconiii6967]

Mi aspettavo di vedere la Maserati a 320\330 km-h sulle strade americane . Peccato .

Rather buy a lotus emira for 100k

[@BryanDeLaTorre-U.S.A1]

👍🏻

[@Ulveraty_Animations]

Face looks like a lotus emira

[@peskn]

Paired with 7Design carbon kit and exhuast the MC20 is one of the greats.

[@Steven-kc7id]

Maserati used to be garbage, curious to see how this one holds up

[@Gab-mf6xq]

“So much drama on the inside” Interior same as a Mazda

[@DaJuan681]

Not a 23'! The 23 has a digital drive mode selector and a blue start/ stop button.

[@stevenkakouz6833]

U know Chrysler makes these cars jus a heads up

[@mtadc1545]

Ugh imagine if this came in manual.

[@aaromon43]

dealers should include 3 pre-paid speeding tickets upon purchase 😂

[@zgiga6747]

Hello from 🇬🇪 Georgia

[@gettcouped]

This seems like the anti supercar supercar. People who don’t want the usual Ferrari, Lambo or McLaren can get something very unique.

[@user-px4mz3iu1s]

Smiješna vožnja 😂😂😂😂😂

[@mustasheolll2020]

Same dash as an Audi lol

[@coleathan6890]

Is this a “poor” man’s Ford GT?

[@btk6357]

the infotainment looks tacked on and mounted too low

[@stevenkakouz6833]

This car is not worth 225 grand maybe 100 grand looks very cheap and plain inside for that price

[@rootsmanuva82]

Its infuriating that car companies are developing and investing in the cleanest internal combustion technologies possible, yet it will never be good enough for the psycho environmentalist tyrants who want to banish them forever. I look forward to the day when their EV fever dreams come crashing down in the face of reality.

[@JB-zu5gb]

I don't believe this is a 2023 based on the black start button, the non-digital drive mode selector and the controls on the left changed shape for 2023. Unless some early 2023's are different, this appears to be a 2022.

[@KonaNthusiast]

Saw this last night at Waffle House on my way home 😯 Definitely made my night

[@BRAINFxck10]

Beautiful car too bad all sports car interiors look the same now, generic digital gauge cluster and a generic tablet glued in the middle

Looks like an Acura, C8, R8 and all the others. Meh
