Would the Viking Contact 7's be a good pick for my GTI in New England?

Front licence plates are the villains of the car world.

[@brandonspeight4043]

States that require front plates are the true villains

[@anthonybelyea1964]

I live in New Brunswick Canada we got rid of front plates a few years ago. couldn't get it off my car fast enough!! so much better looking without it.👍🏼😎🇨🇦

[@Don-pk2uy]

Except on the new M4. Actually makes it look better

[@goncalo33]

Not really. Just on cars whose designers completely forget that license plates are a thing.

[@philsalley3278]

Probably the one law California has but doesn't enforce.

[@micahgunnell]

This is one of the few modern super cars that I look at and wouldn’t change anything about the design. Gorgeous car.

[@Entropied]

Finally,an affordable two door daily driver with good performance.

[@Insignia-pp1eh]

not affordable tho....

[@bawintermage8351]

Hahahahaah, Sarcasm level 💯

[@jonlosito2004]

Yea. Just like the Miata :))

[@datninja408]

Agreed... after 4 - 5 years of depreciation this will be on par with an BMW i8

[@belchbat9955]

Finally a car that won’t break the bank !

[@stevenclark7409]

I just drove it last week. Even more beautiful in person - pictures don't do it justice. Extremely comfortable in a race car sort of way. Acceleration is monstrous. You can literally feel the traction control fighting to keep the rear wheels in check. Turn it off and the back end tries stepping out if you're not going straight. Handles like a dream. And the whole time, it just feels super special. One of the most desirable cars I've ever driven.

[@michaelfedorsha8147]

I'm proud of Maserati for making this beautiful supercar.

[@hagestad]

Its a fancy Fiat with fiat 500 infro screen. Lets hope it does not brake as often as other Maserati cars. Given the high output in that small engine that is unlikely.

[@The_Hi_Life]

I love that Maserati is making a ground up performance car again! I feel like this car will hold its value better than the rest of Maserati’s lineup!😏

[@rufogallardo7168]

What line up, the dodge dart interior ones? I have seen better build quality in Tesla's interiorr and the exotic car with "ferrari" parts in the engine build with the quality of a dodge aint good neither. Hopefully this one is actually good.

[@c8vegas]

Its a very pretty car but MC prices are already dropping a lot. A dealer near me is selling a used one with only 750 miles on it for $60K under msrp. I personally think the car is overpriced, if it were to have come in at a starting price of 175K it would have been a smash hit, but when your approaching Lambo prices it doesn't really make sense.

[@ChadwickJames]

I love the size of the ‘oh sh**’ passenger brake pedal. 8:08

[@AllenSAshley]

I've never been much of a Maserati guy but this thing seems / looks amazing

[@js002003]

not one of the loudest supercars stock, but after putting on an exhaust on mine and it was one of my favorite sounding cars I've ever owned with the turbo noises.

[@travr1131]

It is beautiful. My local Maserati/Alfa Romeo dealer had one on the showroom (already sold). In person, it is stunning.

[@Anon_Fox]

I feel depreciation won’t hit these as hard as a ghibli or whatever other lower end Maseratis. This is a “super car” and feel this will hold relatively well.

[@MBisFrenchy]

They are already leftover with 30K off+

[@DiaperSNiFFER]

@@MBisFrenchyI think if it was $100,000 or less. Everyone would be in line to buy these

[@barbarusbloodshed6347]

Complete opposite in my opinion. I'm a designer (not car design, though) and really wasn't sure about the design in 2020. A good while has passed since I've last seen the car, now this video pops up and I take a look at the MC20 and it looks old!!! It's been three years since its launch and the design already looks old. This thing will age terribly. I finally know what to think of the design, it's bad. :D

[@techvidz4451]

@@barbarusbloodshed6347what super/sports cars do you think have good modern designs

This car doesn't get enough love

[@splodinjoe]

I really think it's the best looking super car on sale today. It's perfect. I would change nothing.

[@Xenolite]

If you guys like the hard brake pedal you need to upgrade to a load cell brake system on your sim racing setup. It makes a huge difference in control like you said.

[@nazz2406]

I've seen one of these in person on the freeway and that thing absolutely rips. Beautiful to look at too. Also dudes, the sound you hear from your device does not do the MC20 Justice that thing sounds amazing.

[@Princevirk66]

my heartbeat is high watching this its insane going to buy for sure man

[@louisdauterive6150]

Had to get new tires on my A6 last week. They wanted me to get Michelin and I pushed for the Continental because of y’all’s videos.

[@Ripside2]

Michellin, Goodyear, Continental, Pirelli...all good.

[@snakeeyes9246]

I have Continentals on my A4. More specifically, the ProContact GX.

The best looking super car of the last decade.... Sat in one and was amazed by how comfortable it was compared to the other italians. I wish Maserati the best with this car.

[@user-xg9jn4my1u]

Aside notoriously quick high depreciation across the world this is one of the best looking supercars today

[@PulpDogg]

I was in Modena a few weeks ago and visited the Maserati factory, where they build this thing. Incredible car and really fascinating production. 300k € is a bit out of my price range though.

[@afterburn2600]

Got to see one of these at Amelia this year. Absolutely brilliant. It's definitely on the short list of most desirable modern cars.

[@ianlatham2975]

Great video, thanks guys.

[@garrettwilson3264]

Been waiting for this! Saw a matt white one in Montreal and it quickly turned into a favourite

[@johnmorrison8351]

There’s a matte robin egg blue one in a mall Denver and it’s gorgeous! I had been largely dismissive of the car until i saw it up close. I love it now!

[@MikeTarlton]

I’m not sure what’s faster. The MC20 or typical Maserati depreciation.

[@Cardioid2035]

Off the line depreciation finds grip way faster it seems

[@nailil5722]

this is a future classic by the looks and style of it alone. No way you will see any crazy depreciation on one of this any time soon. Orders are full for the next year too so good luck with that.

[@slowspecv69]

@@nailil5722I think a thousand percent in 10 years this is gonna cost less on the used market than a huracan, R8, or comparable Ferrari. The new (ish) nsx is objectively a great driving supercar granted without the looks of the mc20 yet those tanked on the used market comparatively to other 2017 supercars even being the rarest of the normal production run supercars at the time.

[@BeastModeXCIII]

😂😂

[@daccxx8665]

Old stereotypes…

[@twistedsneaks1932]

One of the first time I saw an MC20 in person it was the matte metallic white and my god what a color in the southern sun

[@JK-tu1xx]

That is one of the most beautiful cars I have ever seen, *Italian hand gestures for positive*

[@infinity282_]

Since this Car came out, I am a big fan of it. It just looks fantastic, and seems to be quite strong (performancewise)

[@betterbeavailable]

Gorgeous car and that colour just pops. Good that they didn't go for hybrid bs for this one. Sounds could be a bit better though.

[@Chunkiemerk]

8:07 I thought that was the break pedal 😅 as you guys were talking about it that was the next clip lol

[@Emjackson89]

Beautiful car. I would buy that in a heartbeat 😍

Saw a white MC20 in Markham the other day, it looked great! but the blue is a head turner for sure

Such a good looking car. Sounds decent too I wish it was a v8 like they did in the gran Turismo but oh well

Looks beautiful, I’ll get one used in a few years maybe for half off 😅

I have a 2022 C8 Z51 HTC. Looking at a MC20 coupe tomorrow. Which car? I love the C8 NA engine. Not much difference in HP.

[@nessuno5403]

This is a 4C successor and the Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale is a rebodied MC20. They both have Giulia Quadrifoglio bits too (from similar steering wheel and stalks to carbon ceramic brakes and suspension setup) 🍀

Supercars don't sound like that! It doesn't matter how amazing it is or looks. It should have the sound of the previous V8, whether by miracle or by having a V8.

Was waiting for this review from you guys for awhile now and it was worth it. Great car and great review. Probably will never be as special as the MC12 but boy they are both amazing.

[@TheStraightPipes]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@brobincrux5714]

The brake pedal sounds like the same feel as the stelvio quadrifoglio, so weird to get used to

[@dkim3967]

Looks good but I'd buy C8 Z06 T pkg for both performance and the value.

[@fastfaded9318]

Does it have the Sonos speakers?

[@mattmanley7118]

[@fiveforbiting]

Pressure is how you should control brakes. I hate most brake pedals with excessive travel being viewed as normal.

[@yaan147]

Drove one of those on track early this year! But about the brake, I hated it! I was driving a Porsche Gt3 and the difference is so big, I prefer de feel of the Porsche brake pedal! But amazing super fast car! Very impressive

[@VeriStrawberi]

This is a GT car. A GT3 is a track car. So…. Ya. Sounds right

[@LukaDeezNuts]

If you are thinking of getting one well a Maserati Granturismo Trofeo 2024 (the highest model) is almost the same price of the base model of the mc20 both have the neptuno engine and only has 79hp difference (granturismo trofeo 542hp vs mc20 621hp)

You shouldn't have mentioned a box; reminded me of how much I miss the box test.

in a world of big 8s and big 12s this is quite a bold move

[@blackimp4987]

definitely better in white with black finitures. the only thing I don't like completely is the optical groups and basic commands put on that tablet. I'd have appreciated a wider design and physical knobs and buttons

[@belchbat9955]

A break pedal with lots of pressure and not a lot of travel is my favorite set up. Easier inputs good break feel but you can aslo full break quick

In a year this will be a $175,000 bargain compared to the $210-250,000 price right now. Dealers are dropping prices rn. Maserati should have put in a V-8. Beautiful although this sounds disappointing

[@markw9512]

@@fdangleshadang-a-lang7149Amen. This motor sounds so lame compared to the Z06, and the Z06 destroys it on circuit.

[@brownj2]

At 3.5 times the price of my Z51 C8, it is not prettier, has the same transmission not as quick off the line and does not sound as aggressive. My car is maintained by chevy dealers so parts and service are not difficult to get. Plus being built in Kentucky my money stays closer to home. Also I could not daily drive a $300,000 dollar car but I do daily drive my C8.

[@danmayberry1185]

The Corvette has ruined the "Emperor's New Clothes" pricing strategy for Euro supercars. We can argue about interior style or bragging rights, but now there is no need to spend more on purchasing and maintaining a peak performance car.

It looks like the Doug DeMuro "shorts" trend is rubbing off on all of these V-bloggers. Bro, [we] don't want to see that, take some cues off TopGear.- Anyways, how did you miss the Trident logo in the rear glass? I'd also like to add that I spoke with one of Masers test drivers, and one of the complaints was parking the MC20 next to cars in a side-by-side parking lot. The butterfly doors don't clear too well if some doorknob parks too close. That could be a problem when out and about in the MC 20. All that aside, this is Masers TRUE comeback car.

[@TheStraightPipes]

What are you talking about

[@TheTyisawesome]

MC20 is like the Italian Ford GT but nicer like If Lincoln made a GT model haha!
