Maserati Shortcut 99

[conaero]

Never seen this before, its mental, its reminds me of the creation of Doc Emmett Brown if he had not gotten hold of a Deloran:

The Maserati Shortcut 99 Concept was conceived by Italian designer Andrea Spaggiari and features a longitudinal front V8 engine that is good for a healthy 450bhp. The designer claims that the concept embodies stylistic design elements that make it instantly recognizable as Maserati. The only identifiable design elements that would lead me to believe that this was a Maserati concept are the signature three polygon fender grill cut outs and the rear taillights that resemble the GT.

The Maserati Shortcut 99 is a 2+2 coupe concept that is supposed to be a blend of classic design with a modern twist. Maybe I would be able to accept the concept as a quality design if it weren't associated with Maserati…. Maybe I just don't like the concept in it's entirety. But one this is for certain, I could certainly think of a much better way to spend my hard earned $200,000. I'll pass on this one.

Looks mean. I like it.

That looks really cool, apart from the front grille which is pants, it should have a mega trident in there. For £133,000 it should have 500 BHP at least.

Hmmm, I've seen better looking dog turds.....

Not for me, as far as I am concerned Pininfarina got it bang on with the GT

 

[hodroyd]

Bloody expensive dog turds in Notts then Yeti?

The front reminds me of a Nissan GTR, god, its been at least a month since we discussed the 2 brands!!!

It might look like a GTR Matt, but it's £130K+

I like it, its a bit of a monstrosity, but curb presence it has!

Looks a little bit like the Alfa 4C IMO.

On viewing this thread, and despite the potential cost, I felt obliged to pop across to www.contractkillingsRus.com

I filled in the form stating Andrea Spaggiari was the mark, and that the death needed to be slow and painful. Slow and painful obviously costs more, but low and behold when I posted those photographs, they said they'd fulfil the contract gratis, nil, zilch, nada.

Result!
