Yes, I did point this car out to the dealer when having a conversation about price and put on a very straight face when saying I really like the carbon bonnet but for some reason he didn't believe me, so no dice

'Tis a Maserati calculator so replacement batteries are of course nla.
I'd borrow Ewan's, but it told him to go buy a V8 skateboard and I don't think my old bones would cope with that; at my age an old Chesterfield is more appropriate - hence the QP.
Those red cars really are lovely though even if they're not Strads.....

In that case unplug it, make a coffee, plug it back in, yell at it, be amazed at all the warning lights you never knew it had, and then it should be fine.

And it has non carbon disks - great colour for an MC tho.Just as well I'm not in the market for one Dicky, who knows what I'd end up with
Nice car though.

For a road car non carbon has got to be an advantage isnt it? For a start you ain’t gonna be faced with a horrendous bill for replacement at some point if it’s a keeper.
Not many would track a soft top.

I did loads of reading up on these before I got my '14 plate... I got very geeky to the point of buying price lists and brochures off ebay... the MC Cabrio wasn't sold as an MC Strad, just an MC.
It's ZF auto only, has the single rate shox (although mine got skyhook as an extra cost option), and standard steel brakes but has got the louder centre exiting exhausts in the strad type rear bumper and the wing arch vents below the portholes - so it's 'stradale-look' I suppose. Pre '17 facelifts just had the two smaller rear bonnet vents, newer cars with the updated infotainment have the centre scoop too - that red car is odd as it's a pre facelift screen but has the centre scoop.
And it is absolutely bloody lovely! Red Magma I'd guess. And carbon everything too. And a red top bit on the steering wheel. And those red seat sections. And... and ... stop.

The 2014 Centennial has the 2 scoops AND a centre one, it’s shown on the release photos and all 3 are present on mine.

This was my understanding too.
