4 Seat Stradale Magazine Features

Might be worth trying to a deal on some winter tyres before you collect it, from my experience makes a big difference it you are going to use the car regularly in the winter. Corsa tyres may provide extra grip in mild conditions, but are not great in cold damp conditions........

Good call, I'll keep that in mind - cheers

They're fun though......

Really? Why? Does he need lessons in how to grab one by the scruff of the neck and give it a good thrashing?

Yes really. He told us when we were at Le Mans while we were having a few beers at Waynes gite. MLC , Dave Walker and the others that were there nearly fell off their chairs. Two of the best quotes from the Le Mans trip courtesy of Hoyin. " ive never driven to the red line / rev limiter" was one. The other was asking Moz why he had downgraded from a 4200 to a 3200!

This isn't from a magazine feature, but a photo I took of the car at the official Levante launch earlier this year...

Cheers Mark, it looks good there and nice to see that they're avoiding kerbing the wheels when parking too!

Yes, this is the QP that Maserati had the V8MTY on before the Strad. It was only on the Strad from February this year until they de-fleeted. I don't know if they have any GTs or GCs left in their fleet, otherwise it will have to go onto another QP I guess

I absolutely LOVE the retro wheels on that QP. I tried to get them for my Ghibli.

Here's a picture of my car before I owned it. It was specced with neptune wheels. Looks very different on them!

That does look stunning

I actually prefer the Neptunes to the bland Strad wheels.

I don't. Not one bit.

 

[Rwc13]

Me neither, not on a Strad

Which Strad wheels do you mean Phil, the early or the later ones (although the earlier ones remained an option throughout the run)?

 

[outrun]

Seriously Phil, you prefer the full black on black with neptunes to this?

 

[AaronE]

best would be the Strad wheels in black

Not enough meat on the alloy for me, this car looks underwheeled imo.

A good way to show off those fine carbon ceramic discs though!

That was my worry when I specced the MC Strad wheels on my GT Sport - that it would look "Under-Braked" with the standard steel discs (particularly on the rear). In the metal, there is a lot of visible space between the discs and the rims, but I think the wheels still work. On a Strad with Ceramic Discs, they look superb.
