MC Stradale 2018 ??

[Troll]

Saw this being advertised as an MC Stradale 2018 with ZF box and facelift, should this be purely known as an MC ? I thought so but the log book says says MC Stadale S-A.

Seller is convinced its a proper MC Stradale

You are correct. It is a Granturismo MC, loads get it wrong and plead ignorance. I think it’s more likely they’re hoping a less knowledgable customer will come along and buy it thinking it’s a Stradale.

Was wondering when it may appear somewhere. I was offered it about 4 weeks back, went to have a look and drive it but it required considerable spend so I decided against it.

68k plus considerable spend! Not a good idea....

It may have had that, or some of it.

I would never be in the market for one, but with my new limited knowledge it would have fooled me.

I‘d have seen the exhaust style and the bonnet scoop and thought it was one. What’s the proper way to identify?

Real Stradale has the F1 gearbox (1 and R buttons rather than a ZF lever) and carbon ceramic brakes. Those are the two features to look out for.

Edit: Also says "MC Stradale" on the passenger side of the dash (as illustrated left).

Thanks, the naming of the models and the types have me totally confused, I’m not even sure I know what my own is!

Did they still do the F1 box in the 2018/19 facelift model?

Also, look out for the Sport Race button. afaik no other Granturismo variant has a Race button. @dickygrace can confirm.

MC Shift (single clutch) has SPORT button. The MC Stradale has a SPORT and RACE button. But the easiest way to identify for sure is ceramic brakes.

Sorry, you're right! I meant to type Race. Will edit now.

As far as I know they stopped making 'proper' Stradale with the F1 gearbox in 2016/17. There aren't any Stradale with the facelift and new infotainment. Mine is one of the last as is the one that Dicky currently has in stock.

No more Maser!

No mine is still very much alive an in my ownership still. What I meant was that you no longer have a maser! What's next?

[c4sman]

It may have had that, or some of it.

I know this dealer, he’s around the corner from me, I might have a nose around it and set him straight on the description

Again....when will they learn!

Ahhhh! No - definitely still in the fold (at least it was still in the garage last time I looked). The one Dicky has is identical to mine.
