Very nice looking but why does it need a bonnet scoop when the engine is the same.....

It'd be nice to think it's because it's running the same filter setup as the Corsa, but I don't know whether this is the case or not.

Stunning, just what everyone wanted.
Hopefully it'll be really bad and cost a million quid so I won't be trading in so soon!!
Great colour and I'll see in the flesh next month at Geneva.

Would like to see it in red, yellow, white or black as the grey is a bit drab for me...

What about blue? - Stradales look stunning in Victory Blu, imo. I saw a matt black wrapped one last week - what a waste!

Just looking at the interior pics on face book and the only bit that makes me want to two seater are the front seats...They look as if they are the same as in the standard GT and you lose the stunning buckets from the 2 seater.....Don't see why as the buckets do tip forward.....

It may be down to rear legroom, bucket seats often rob alot of space from the back.

Really, I would have thought it was the other way around .... I know the buckets on my CSL were very thin and def gave more room in the back over my standard M3...Either way I think its a shame as it was one of the features that made the stradle speacial......Plus the Gransport MC Victore have them and you can get in the back of that car....

Here is a picture and the a link to the mini site http://www.maseratigranturismomcstradale.com/

I know when I owned an Audi RS4 a couple of years ago and there was an ongoing debate about which seat is best, the buckets which looks best, and have the auto bolsters that inflate when you press the sport button, or the standard seats which give a lot more leg room in the back.I preferred the buckets, maybe Maserati should let the customer choose, thats if it is for the same reason.

So now we have the new Stradale with 4 seats that you can't spec with 2 seats and harnesses and the MY13 spec 2-seater Stradale that you can spec with harnesses but not 4 seats?

Split personality or what!? Drop the old one and open up the options on the new one.....surely?

Just seen the new 4 seat Stradale.....it's mega!
AndyK your right, the front seats look like standard sport seats (the new ones) but the show car had carbon backs. They weren't sure if these were standard or an option (the carbon bit). Carbon bonnet is lovely, the underside looks as good as the outside but very very expensive they said! New colour, Grigio Lava is beautiful but again they thought it would be an option at £££'s. Lady who showed me round reckoned price was €160K! around £140K in UK, if true certainly going for gold. A couple of pics for you!4 Seat Stradale3.jpg4 Seat Stradale1.jpg4 Seat Stradale2.jpg

£140k...!!!!!.....Bloody **** the old one was £109...Surely that can not be true as it has the same BHP as the Sport.......Would have said £115k/£120k max....any more and the aurely you would buy a Sport as it has the same seats.......I think it looks lovely mind you and love the idea of a 4 seater Stradale but not at £140k......If it had 500 bhp them maybe.....
