Lovely styling, lovely colour but ruined by that god awful black bonnet! Why two tone a car which looks so good in the first place?

How are things Gary? How's business? I might pop in again when up there in a few weeks.

It's like an Ink Blue in the shots not sure if it is like that in the flesh. I kind of guessed it would be a carbon bonnet but couldn't tell for sure.

lovelhy, lovely car..........but for me also the carbon bonnet just lets it down.....Far to fast and furry max power for me.......

Isnt the MC Ventennial being built to order for a limited time from what I have read.....so could well be 1 of 2 if no one has order any more....

Centennial is being built this year only.
If you tried to order one now it wont be possible, I believe.
As of last month only two cabs had been ordered in total, but I am waiting for confirmation.

It looks amazing in the flesh, as I'm sure benny will confirm after viewing it.

Only two ordered...That is rare...should hold its value well........I would live a red Coupe version...That red is just stunning.

Having seen it in the metal I can confirm that it is a great looking car. The bonnet is very well made with a V pattern down the centre line and looks great. The blue, however, is stunning, what a glorious colour! Someone will get themselves a very special car.

Maseratis are supposed to have a certain style and touch of reserve. That doesn't. Looks like the sort of thing a footballer would buy.

I really have to agree with Ewan.....The bonnet may be well made but just doesn't suit the car at all.....The Stradale is its first form with its 2 seat set up harness etc was suppose to be a stripped out track/road special but although a great car never fulfilled that role which I suppose is one reason why it went 4 seats and the stunning proper buckets went out so for me the bonnet is at odds with the rest of the car ...Ben is right the blue is stunning and would look even more stunning if it covered the bonnet as well.......I love the Stradale and if I had the readies it would be the top of my list to buy but I think the original 2 seater is the car that will be cherished in years to come as it is closer to what the car was all about when it came out......I've not driven the new car but have sat in one and it didn't feel as special as when I sat and drove Merrians 2 seater yellow beast.......The new car just felt like the other GT's in the showroom (not a bad thing mind you) as the interior was just not different enough where as the original just felt like an adventure every time you sank into the bucket seats and strapped on that harness........A very special car indeed.....but I fully understand why Maserati went and changed to 4 seats and 2 seats in such a big car does seem a bit odd and limit sales.......
