Only 30 cars coming to UK in 2021. Long waiting list likely so I think resale values will be good for a year or two.

I'm very pleased for you Hilts (unless of course you confirm you're a cash buyer at any price in which case i'll:suicide: )
So that's under 3 cars a month......
My odds are pretty good here on a wealthy forum member not being able to get 1 of say only 15- within 6 months.....for cash.
Most dealers wont want that as they make more on the leasing/pcp deals.

To confirm a place I had to place a high deposit (not the usual £1k) so the early buyers aren't going to be so focussed on finance offers and Maserati UK will vet all customers.

I've waited 6 years for this car and passed up a lot of other cars (including the Alfa GTA), it will be my 6th Maserati.

There won't be many people like me who are brand loyal but the numbers they are looking to sell of this model are small sp
hopefully I won't lose too much by enjoying it for a few years.

Well Hilts, there's no denying your brand loyalty so if you do have the cash can I suggest you hedge your tanking sterling against the euro by buying some yellow stuff. (+30% this year alone).
Given you're gonna be waiting around for a while.......;)

There have been a few questions about what this is up against in terms of market position/price/performance etc. I have held back sharing this so not to compromise anyone however this clearly shows what they were thinking in the design and development process and the league of cars they are targeting. Good luck to them, I think this should excite any Maserati fan.

I’ll have mine in blue with brown leather.
Though I’d be tempted to go the whole Atelier route and specify Blu Anniversary/Primatist blue.
Incidentally I was checking out the QP Trofeo. In black with the blacked-out grille it’s getting handsome these days, the 6... now that’d be a good two car ‘daily’ driveway...

Yes Wattie Ash and I watched the live presentation and we both commented about the script. I thought the aspect ratio of the show was squished but clearly not.

With only 30 cars for the UK you’ve made a safe purchase Hilts. Well done. It’ll largely only go to the “right“ people also, because of the vetting process, so that will help.

As for competition, I’d take one over a Huaracan or a McLaren at broadly similar prices. The Maserati brand still appeals to me more, and I prefer the look of the MC20 to the others also.

However...at this price point I must say that personally I’m more drawn to the Roma. It’s less of a race car in drag, and more of a road orientated sports cars with a gentle and stylish look. Same 620bhp as the MC20, but from a beautiful sounding V8. At my age, it ticks more of my boxes as a useable sports car. So, Maser or Fezza - the age old quandary!

I’m having a chat with Meridien later this morning to discuss both options, so will be interested to hear what they say with regards to availability, pricing, etc.

I like to Roma a lot (it was supposed to be the Alferi? ).. the issue I have with Ferrari is that their Ponzi scheme has come crashing down and there are a lot of clients who are getting seriously burnt on cars which they didn't really want to own but had to put a deposit on in order to keep up their Ferrari points profile - which enabled them to make £500k on the likes of the TDF. As Ferrari ramped up production and number of new models it was inevitable that the model of buy and flip model would collapse at some point. I don't know how this will impact the Roma but I imagine Ferrari wants to sell a fair few and they may find the normal buyers (who felt compelled to stump up even if they didn't want the car) are thin on the ground so they have to look elsewhere.

Hilts, you said “Ponzi Scheme!”
Do you know what you are letting yourself in for?
At last, I am not alone:dance:

Pretty disappointed to read this.

I have been discussing the MC20 production numbers with my friend who is a production buyer at McLaren and he doesn't understand why they would limit production like this

If they are genuinely competing against the F8 Tributo/720S and go racing in GT3 then production targets will likely be up at 3,000 units a year

. Maybe I'm just jealous because I was too rational to make £500k a year flipping Ferraris
I did buy a used one from Dick Lovett and the guy was telling I had to take their finance to get more points etc I then looked into it and started to understand why people were spending £50k of options and buying 3 California's and then selling them back to dealer. I know three people who have made a lot of money and had great fun over the last 10 years doing this but it really feels like its a very risky trade now.
