That will do nicely….

OCD alert! Seats do not align rear pods. Aaaaaaargh!!

 

[Ewan]

I do like that. More so than the Coupé. Which is rare for me, as normally I prefer the cleaner lines of a hard top. Well done Maserati.

 

[Zep]

That is very nice!

Nice, coupe for me, not giving up the trident cut rear glass for anyone

I may spend some of my £184000000 on one of these.
Bummer I guessed the wrong numbers. It looks lovely.

Hard top for me too. Also - wtf is that exterior colour? Looks like a local authority colour. And I think I've seen that seat fabric before in a 1980s Datsun. Hideous!

Which begs the question. Why do you know so much about Japanese cars of the late 20th century?

Did you not have taxis in the 1980s where you grew up?

Ahh yes, Nissan Bluebirds! Forgot about them...

The Maserati MC20 Cielo Spyder Has a More Interesting Roof Than You'd Expect

Still an MC20 with the 621-hp Nettuno V-6, plus a Liquid Crystal folding glass roof that can go opaque at a push of a button, up or down in 12 seconds flat. That's quick.

Am I the only one who thinks why didn’t they offer the glass roof in the coupe as it is wasted on what is already a bloody convertible?!?!?

I'd imagine (probably wrongly) that the fact it's a convertible is precisely why they could offer the glass (LCD) roof.

My logic is thus: Coupes use the roof as part of the structure of the car and therefore transmit stresses through it. Convertibles have to be able to perform without any stress being passed through the roof (when it's not there) so increase body strength in other areas. Ergo even when the roof is up, any stresses through it are lower than the coupe.
I doubt this glass (being LCD) is as tough as a normal panoramic roof and may not be able to survive the stresses required for the coupe.

Or I could just be making it up as I go along

OMFG that is lovely.

Awsome looking car in another colour

 

[Felonious Crud]

Love it, including that colour. Not so much the seats, though.

“We” are in alignment...would have to change them.
