First off the engine is a V6 and nobody who calls themselves a real supercar petrolhead cares for that kind of engines in supercars, not even in the Ford GT. Worst of all it is a turbocharged engine. Second it doesnt have a manual option. Third it is a heavy car. Fourth the back of the car looks like a regular car. Fifth the interior looks generic. And last it is not a limited production car. Thats why prices will decrease in the forseable future.

[@sportzntouring]

@@mariellarojas8562 not even the Ferrari 296? Not even the Mercedes-AMG ONE? To be fair, my feelings are similar to yours but these are the times we're in.

[@mariellarojas8562]

@@sportzntouring The Mercedes should be an exception to the rule because it is an F1 engine for the road but they added the electric motors therefore it is a failure. The Ferrari 296 doesnt even make sense since there is the F8 right now with a v8 turbocharged engine.

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.

[@BUMHEAD1100]

While we are looking at cars that drop like stones - Latest DBS is this price range now too. Must be worth a look

[@sportzntouring]

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.

[@NubletPie278]

If they were £235k new it's no surprise they've lost £100k in a year haha. It's a nice driving car I'm sure but it should be £135k to begin with.

[@zakelwe]

The problem with the Mclaren is will the company be around in 3 years time considering how much money they lose per year. It is only that the arab owners have excess money thay keeps them going. if they decide to sell then I doubt anyone will by the company. Same question goes for Maserati.....

[@GAWTYONEK]

Wow that's crazy 🤪 they can't keep making new models all the time they'll run out of names 😂

[@edisonyoung4693]

@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).

[@nathansands71]

Shame because it's the best looking car of the last 15 years

Theres got to be something that can make the MC20 sound better. I think despite being so muted it still has an agressive tone underneath that wants to be heard.

For the supercar guy whom has tried it all, MC20 or NSX. The rarity will draw attention. Saw a white MC20 here in Dublin a few years ago, looked mega. MC20 is a supermodel.

[@silverporsche1959]

I love the shape, I had an order for a Cielo but backed out after I saw the depreciation. I will be watching out for this one. Who knows maybe in 2 years there will be one in my Garage?

[@maseratiupgrades4363]

I tried different sound solutions on mine: Novitec (turbo-back, Capristo and Custom. Ended up with Capristo GPF (deleted) emulator cat connected to factory cat and custom 3--->5 inch Megaphones to the tail pipe with an interesting result. No more turbo boost re-circulation sounds at full throttle (with the exception of a whisper at times) due to significantly less restriction by the GPF delete and megaphones causing the gas volume exchange rate in the engine to use up all the boosted air from the turbos and beg for more. No- tune water meth injection in this car also significantly helps it because of the high Turbo boost values and extra-capable combustion efficiency of the Twin spark/ twin chamber at high revs: a victory for improved volumetric engine efficiency (I estimate 645 HP and 550 ft lbs improvement which can be felt) But now the exhaust note is just louder and the whistles are gone (which I do not miss). With this set up, I best enjoy driving it in sport-automatic-medium suspension. Medium suspension because while the soft setting is better on undulations at low speed, going fast at this setting make it pogo, wallow and impart the sensation of bottoming out. At Medium, the jitteriness at slow speeds disappears at high speeds and becomes compliant while limiting travel. I am learning to keep the go pedal closer to the boost explosion threshold for more speed drama. Pedal to the metal through all shift points invokes more 'jail time' rapidity but if not followed through, it does produce a unique mechanical 'rev-hang whirr' that i hear very clearly now that the whooshes are gone and this sound is complex in character and quite exhilarating. I am also acquiring appreciation for the low to medium rpm diesel truck bass roar and perfectly commensurate high torque and instant lag-free shove at low speed throttle stabs.The wide twin double wishbone suspension regulated stance really establishes a high speed turn confidence which does not bore because Dallara also engineered a High lateral G shove sensation for the enthusiast's pleasure: something I cannot say for the soft spongy but better track performing Ferrari GTB (which I test drove-excellent car).

[@flyingphoenix113]

Clearly, the MCXtrema proves these engines can make 700+hp quite easily. The MC20 GT2 and MCXtrema get the larger Garrett turbos which are supposedly good for 800+hp, but I don't think anybody knows the limits of the stock internals yet.

[@maseratiupgrades4363]

@@flyingphoenix113 With the internals as a question mark, would it not been better for Maserati to go the axial flow electric motor route together with the GT2 turbos and tune, rather than go all electric with the Folgore?

I own the Maserati MC20 ARIA from 7design and havent scraped once after 4800 miles! Looks fantastic.

Good to know. It depends on the roads taken on those 4800 miles I guess. I know a few roads that it would struggle on. But I'd get the splitter and side skirts anyway 😁

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.

[@dash-ryan]

Cars like these don't depreciate like this in Canada due to the rarity of these cars over here. Our climate doesn't make these cars a daily choice, or even a year-round weekend choice, like they can be in the UK. In one way that's kind of sad, but in another way, my C8 Corvette is holding is value better than any other place in North America.

[@reeceagland1980]

Same here in Australia, you just don't see the same depreciation

[@Selmerpilot]

The base structure of this 90 degree v6 is incredibly similar to the late 60s designed V6 for the Citroen SM and Maserati Merak. That engine was raced at lemans in 73 and 74 in the Ligier JS2. In 74 it finished 8th overall. The Maserati engine it ran was an experimental 4 valve 90 degree v6 (Merak engine but with 4 valve heads) making 400hp at almost 11,000rpm. Alfieri was a genius.

[@flyingphoenix113]

I've seen the prototype Formula 2 version of that engine (still sitting in a farmhouse in Emilia Romagna) which has individual exhaust ports for each valve for maximal scavenging. It therefore has six tiny headers per side of the block and looks like a tiny V12 to the untrained eye!

[@Selmerpilot]

@@flyingphoenix113 That is fabulous! I have seen photos of that 4 valve engine. The 4v version finished 8th overall at Lemans in 74 and won the tour de france outright. It was a great engine but ran very hot. Maserati made maybe a dozen or so. The final engine they made was never picked up by Ligier in 75 due to the oil crisis, so it still sits as-new with the owner in western France who obtained it from Maserati. I would love to acquire one if that owner in Emilia Romagna is willing to part with it. Is it with the Panini family in their museum?

[@EasyE1669]

Beautiful car. When I have the money I'm going to buy one.

[@vincentkr3w]

The Cielo will be the one to have. That being said, I'd much rather go for 488, 720 or 296 instead!

[@sportzntouring]

Indeed

[@AntoniusTyas]

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.

[@sportzntouring]

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.

[@ro63rto]

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 .

[@sportzntouring]

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.

[@Coobyliscous]

Enjoying this series!! Will be interesting to see what Ant buys. Been looking at similar cars - 720s is amazingly appealing and outstanding in so many ways but a bargain because of the McLaren issues, MC20 is unfortunately ruined by the sound, 458 was let down by the steering and brakes, 488 seems sensible but haven't driven, Exige 410 was everything I want from a car but the ground clearance might bother me and then road cars that wouldn't work on track but have glorious engines: V12 vantage, F12 or R8 V10 plus from the 2016 era. A year ago went from a 991 GT3 to a 992 Turbo S as I had a baby on the way, launch control seduced me and I thought it would cover all bases. It has and on Cup2s actually destroyed many average driven 992 GT3s on track. But the sound or lack there of has left a big hole in my heart! 😪

[@robsmith1a]

I've always liked to keep things standard myself. I remember having a Triumph T595 Daytona many years ago and it seemed every owner had done something to modify it in one way or another (most commonly the exhaust). It occurred to me that with some vehicles leaving them standard may be the unique thing to do.

[@williamr3840]

I get what you mean about the interior -- it's not what you might expect from such an exotic marque. In the 80's, my father had a Maserati Merak, in metallic red with silver Campagnolo wheels and a crazy gold velour/half-leather interior. It rarely started without a lot of messing about, but when it was going it was fantastic! Around London, and out into the countryside were trips, as a schoolboy, I'll never forget! Love the story about Ferrari respecting Maserati as their old racing rival. :0)

[@ShopBeers]

Probably one of the best descriptions I’ve seen on this car. I like the design, but the nsx has the edge for long term value. I believe the nsx will begin appreciating eventually. Maseratis typically drop like a rock after a decade passes. Nice design nonetheless.

[@hexgraphica]

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.

[@sidrens5292]

Absolutely beautiful!!! Better looking than current Ferrari’s- which I really don’t like the headlight configuration!

[@Mike-sg9tl]

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.

[@twowheelsoneleg5672]

Feels the most exotic of potential Ant cars so far

[@adrianbennett3761]

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

[@rowan1043]

Almost all your reasoning describes the Lotus Emira... sooooo I’ll stick with the Toyota engine and have excellent performance while still being less than an MC20 Talk about “raw driving experience” and “old school” that is the Emira but it does it better and further than the MC20 (doesn’t have MC20 doors though which is sadge)

[@starting5524]

I’ve always seen this car as the BMW i8 gen 2 in terms of depreciation, and what you get. I have no doubt this will get below 100k in a couple years, no doubt.

[@jonathonedwards6741]

Just an idea. Is it worth looking at something like a Lancia Delta or R5 turbo. I’ll admit they don’t do the same thing as the R8 but they drive well and are more practical, even if they’re a childish choice. A Clio V6 may be worth a look to.

[@drunksupportcharacter]

So i have committed myself to daily one of these provided i inherit a good portion of cash and just keep it for as long as possible, ( and as i sit right now its a possibility but unlikely, im a realist) I like these because i dislike supercars, they just aint for me, but this, i feel is one of those "Rare but nobody cares" types, its sweet, its not obnoxious like many and its so simple on the inside, just a display, few buttons and thats it, people grunt at you if you have a car of this caliber with practically any other badge, and it just wants to stay out the way, there are better exotic cars out there, the rich likely call themselves poor if they owned one of these as it does not go out its way to peacock in any other way other than the doors, it does not even have a wing so a GT86 would get more attraction around the town. Back in 2021 i passed a dealership with one of these just outside on the forecourt, it was a yellow (or orange) and yes it was a miserable rainy day, i had no idea what it was at first, and my first thought was "Nobody is going to buy you im afraid" and tbh that made me feel kinda sad, because thats the reality, so few people would buy it regardless of status, everyone else would be looking at other things, so if i got the chance, i would, i would keep it around like a good dog, because to me i likely dont deserve to own a car of that caliber, and i doubt it will get any owner that will keep one on the road for the lifetime i have left, but im a man of my word and i would show it to the world because i doubt anyone else would.

[@theorderofeli]

I'd love one, having said that being a hardcore Italian car fan, this suffers from the "296" syndrome, where many are sitting unsold - because of the V6 engine. The problem isn't 6 cylinders i don't think, its our perception of something that is naturally aspirated & revs. Maybe it's my perception that needs to change?

[@NeverGetsOld911]

No, I really think its about the 90 degree V-six. A long time ago I read an article that explained through math and physics that a 90 degree six is inherently unbalanced, as opposed to an 8 or 90 degree V2, like a Ducati engine. This Maser's engine sound might be all you are going to get. Kind of a shame, sound is so important to the experience.

Can’t get on with a mix of gloss carbon and satin carbon on the interior. Pick one and stick with it on everything. Think it’s a beautiful looking car. The switch gear could do with feeling a little more premium. Same issue in my GranTurismo MC. Window switches wobble and don’t have that high end feel. My old 14 AM definitely felt more premium and better engineered inside. Such a shame Maserati couldn’t make that MC20 engine sing, I think that would have overridden any of the interior foibles. The fact it looks so good but sounds so Alfa / M3 is a shame. Would go for one when they’re £60k odd haha

200k€ for a 20k€ interior with no sound and not practible as a daily driver. Great job, well done.

shame that it weighs a lot for such a size and carbon tub :/

Maserati will bounce back :)

That is an interesting comparison, Italian NSX. I think that's spot on. The exterior looks I think is really good. I saw the MC20 at a Ferrari Club event 2 years ago and it got a lot of attention at a Ferrari event. It's a good looking car. It wasn't particularly fast at a Ferrari club event, but it wasn't slow. In the right color, it looks really really nice. The sound as you can hear on the video was underwhelming, but would probably be fine with an aftermarket exhaust. If they had paid attention to the exhaust more, they would have been more successful. But that's Maserati isn't it. They get 7/10 of it right but that last 3/10 is what hurts their sales. As a post script, I like how your Pakistani friend didn't bite on your anti-American comment when you called us dim-witted.

I'm not Pakistani. I'm British with mixed African-Caribbean/White-Australian heritage. You could have just refered to me as "James's friend" since there was only one friend in the video and there was no reason to bring perceived ethnicity into the matter.
