It’s ironic watching a review of luxury cars with high-end watches, only to see it filmed on a low-quality camera. The visuals are choppy, distracting from the luxury they’re trying to showcase. Better equipment would make all the difference in bringing out the details that make these items exceptional.Criticizing luxury cars for not being perfect, yet not even checking the video once after editing-what a dedicated vlogger!
This is a typical PJ response and one of the reasons I love his material. The snowflakes will say he’s an arrogant pr*ck, but those that know him, understand what he really means and appreciate the value of his message.
You are crazy. Maserati looks beautiful, interior not the best, but supercars usually lack off, but everyone hates Maseratis. I love it and will do forever.
You want this car to feel like 500 k supercar. In my opinion it's not like that. This car is in between supercar and normal car. You can drive it and enjoy every day. Maybe little bit expensive, but with this doors and beauty it will sell and will be appreciated. Italian cars were never about quality, yet we love them. I like it.
I know I'm a year late to get on this.....I agree wholeheartedly with your assessment. I also think this car was built to be a daily driver. Dude is saying the complete opposite of a lot of the reviews.
THIS GUY IS CLUELESS. THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST RAW SPORTS CARS YOU CAN BUY. YES IT DOESNT SOUND GREAT. BUT TAKE IT TO THE TRACK AND WATCH YOUR JAW DROP. EVERY SINGLE PROFESSIONAL REVIEWER/CAR MAG , ESPECIALLY EVO HAS NAMED THE MC20 PERFORMANCE CAR OF THE YEAR. THIS GUY'S NOT THAT KIND OF DRIVER.
This nouveau-riche douche doesn't know anything. All I get is pretensions of discerning taste to mask his lack of substance. Stellantis (which owns Maserati) has never worked with Volvo but he pulls such statements out of his a*s as if he was educating people. He is a con artist for the 20-something crowd. The educated would not give this guy the time of day after five minutes of seeing what he is.
Hilarious as always brother. In 4-5 years when it's 120k, I'll be first in line and be happy to drive the sh*t out of it. Because of the power, lifting doors and looks, it will never go under 100k

Have mine for 7 months and 7k miles, not a perfect car but an amazing experience driving in all conditions. It wouldn’t take much to make perfect maybe another 20k better quality parts/leather.

I think there is some compromise due to designed for both gas and electronic and I’m sure will likely improve with future production runs
7 months and 7K miles later, what are the issues you could warn others about? I am considering a 2023/24 911 Turbo S, 570S, or the MC20. However, the MC20 looks the best to me.
I really like this car. $250k I would take a used 720s over it. But it will get down to $150k and it will be the best car you can buy in that range. Anyone buying this new has too much money anyways…. but a really cool car. And I think he didn’t give it enough credit for its performance.
This review is pretty off the mark IMO. Watch every other review of the car from Chris Harris, Steve Sutcliffe, Henry Catchpole and Matt Farah among others. All more respected in the realm of automotive reviewers/journalists. They've all loved the car. I've also driven all of the competitors and this car stands out. It's was designed with weight saving in mind. It's got a carbon fiber monocoque made by Dallara with a dry weight of

He’s not that rich that he can blow money on cars he can’t drive around and sell later for more. Any car that depreciates he will poopoo on because he really can’t afford them.
@@ExoticCarHacksit's disappointed because you don't know nothing about the cars like Harris knows! You don't know how to drive it, you don't even know about engine is it v or i.

And some of them run car shops, and are the ones fixing them up ... where is that when you're ranting and raving about McLarens?? I think you were not fair on your assessment at all.

Wow, PJ, you've instantly become my fav car reviewer with thus brutally honest review of EVO's Car of the Year! Please, please, please do similar reviews of the Ferrari 296 GTB/GTS and McLaren Artura as soon as you can get your hands on them.
Finally, this gentleman is honest about the value and desire of the consumer. Totally impressed with the fact that he didn’t placate the manufacturer and approached it from the desires of the buyer. I subscribed and so did my friends for that very reason. Please keep up the good work.
I just realized that it has many components from the Alfa Romeo Giulia... for instance, the center airbag cover and two of the Call buttons and the roll selector in the steering wheel, and many many more, exactly the same. Stellantis is saving a lot of money sharing components from cheaper models into their premium ones. They share everything among Maserati, Dodge, Jeep, Chrysler and Alfa Romeo.
That's always been the case. Aston Martin at least made their Ford Transit van door handles out of metal. And ferrari just covered everything in leather
At near 200k, I don't think this is bad value. 300k+ is my issue. I looked at one yesterday while getting my Giulia QV serviced. I loved how it looked and thought that the interior wasn't as bad as some reviews make it out to be. With that said, Ferrari is definitely better materials and even the leather in my GenV Viper feels and looked nicer.
That’s a very interesting video and could not agree more. Last summer, I placed a deposit on a MC20 Cielo fully loaded msrp 368k. The dealer seems completely disorganized, It’s been a real nightmare dealing with the dealer. Fast forward 8 months now Feb 2023 and my car is to be ready Nov 2023. Now I see 5 pages of MC20 for sale on car guru. This has me thinking, apart from the design and doors. This car doesn’t really compete with Ferrari 296 in that price category. I regret to say I decided to cancel my order and now fighting to get my deposit back. In the mean time I purchased a fantastic 2015 f12 silver with only 2100 miles. 😂 with extra cash added some novitek exhaust system.
I’ve seen your ads & the algorithm provided this MC20 review, so I decided to watch & listen. TBH, I like your blunt approach. It’s different than most UA-cam/Industry reviews (at least this one is).

I find this review quite bizarre because UK motoring journalist Steve Sutcliffe was raving of about this Maserati! one of the best cars he's ever driven he quoted! This review highlights fault finds little non important details like buttons, switches when instead he should analyze and concentrate on the most important aspect of car which is the engine! which is a masterpiece! yet he hasn't even opened the bonnet to show on camera! given us any numbers on performance etc...
@CarHacks even this guy, lol (I think the video in the link that follows is a far more honest and far more accurate review)? ua-cam.com/video/O392AqjwBtM/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
There are versions with optional upgraded interior (laser cut alcantara with blue inserts) and extra interior carbon package. Can you review that to see if it feels more premium.
It Does have ceramic brakes. And the reason doors are carbon is because whole tub is made by dallara, plus f1 engine tech. Exterior is supercar heaven . You are SO right about Interior man, I saw the leather seats, total trash .lol it to bad they didnt go the lambo route with interior. Massive missed opportunity. That being said, I don’t think you really drove his car because it’s very very fast
I'm also a multimillionaire and I completely disagree with him Maserati MC20 is one of the best New cars on the market right now. Good guy. Bad video. Have a great week!
Just worked on one of these, and agree. Inside feels like any other toyota/hyundai etc. With alcantara wrapped around stuff. I would never guess over 200k unless it has some amazing track performance or something.
That car rips man🏁 I have done a ton of homework for a new track car. I pick mine up this summer. A few people told me I’m crazy to take this over a GT-3 Cup Car.
I never was a Maserati fan but the car do look amazing! Think this is a test for them to see what people complain about and in the next generation (if there is one) they will correct the issue!
My problem with that is that if you're right they should not make their most premium product in years something they expect their top customers to beta test. Get it right the first time for that dollar.
@@ExoticCarHacks true that but you know it's the best way to milk money out of costumers... Each generation you do little updates until you nail it and then watch all the sub genre or the same will come out! Just look at Lamborghini with the hurrican or Aventador... Every model is a Sub genre of these 2 now!
@@Atem_S. NO ! Lamborghini Aventador SVJ Models The Roadster Low mileage under a 1,000 miles & less than 500 miles go for 1.8 to $2.5 Million!! The SVJ was Limited Production only 800 made World Wide
Good detailed review. The MC12 is one of my favorite cars of all time. This, the 992 911 and Lexus LC500 are probably my favorite car designs now. It breaks my heart that the MC20 build quality and fit/finish is trash like the “lower end” Maserati Stellantis/Chrysler parts bin cars (Ghibli, Levante, etc).
Porsche GT4RS Curious question. My GT4RS arrived, $203 MSRP where’s my value 8 months from now, and 18 months from now with low mileage? 6” of snow here!! ain’t driving it till May.
I am blessed and own an amazing factory matte black Huracan. When the MC20 was first announced I thought it was the best looking car in the industry but didnt pull the trigger for the fear of how bad Maseratis depreciate and the build. I test drove one of these twice, on the streets and highway; I dont have the same opinion as reviewer. I thought the build quality was unbelievably good. You must see the car in person, the looks are amazing, one of the best in the industry. It is unbelievably/surprisingly fast. Him complaining about the door handle I dont understand. Porsche GT's (unbelievable cars) that cost the same, if not more, have pretty much the same thing and no one complains about it. The interior is one that you're going to love it or hate it. I like the minimalistic look of the interior, some may not. Some exotic car interiors are just way to busy on the interior. While driving fast speed do you really want to be distracted by a whole bunch of buttons, I don't think so. The sound is the sound, do you really expect a V6 to sound like a V10; I would hope not. Overall I still found the sound pleasing. In closing tho, I will admit that Maserati built the MC20 to change their image and try to rid themselves of exactly how this reviewer feels about them; I'm not sure the MC20 will do that but I still do believe its an amazing car. In regards to depreciation, only time will tell. But lets face, almost any car you buy and drive off the lot depreciates. I think most dont buy are car thinking they are going to make a prophet when they sell. The last three years was just an absolute fluke and we wont see that again in our life time. God Bless you all and enjoy what ever car you like and can afford!!
They definitely missed an opportunity to have something special. It will be a nice car at that 150K-160K range, and hopefully in a year or 2 someone will have found a way to tune it and make it bit more exciting. It looks so good and has a nice presence. Thank you for another honest review!
I think these are first world problems. When you think of Maserati you don’t think of it’s top speed, the exterior speaks for itself. That’s exactly what they did here for a fair price. Not every car needs to be as equal as other cars. Look at Dodges interior vs sales. This car deserves a little more respect cause I thought it was a million dollar car when I first seen it.
Kudos for this review, you called a spade a spade. I test drove this in ’22 and my immediate reaction was that this car carries an artificial price premium that can’t be justified by car’s quality or any kind of supercar feel. It’s just a high margin product, that doesn’t deliver on its promise. It feels generic, like they purchased a bunch of different stuff from Chinesse manufacturers and put it all together, making it totally soulless. Sound-wise it’s close to high powered turbo Ford Focus than entry level supercar like Audi R8..
When the 458 was new we complained about the interior plastics. They’re all terrible! The problem with the Mazza is that it’s not enjoyable to push to the limit. It’s not as bad as the I8 BMW, but it’s not far off!
Please explain how do you sell this car over sticker prise where i live "Switzerland" you can buy this car for the sticker price and no one would pay over it.
@@ExoticCarHacks I love this review video, I've probably watched it 10 times. But in no way is the interior of the C8 horrible, its absolutely gorgeous and miles ahead of the MC20 interior.
Dude! 💯 nailed it!! Car is underwhelming at best. I was bored. My old m5 comp is better. Way better. R8, better, 570 s better, turbo s wayyy better, huracan wayyyy better, superleggera way better, db11 better. I have no clue how people get behind this car.
I like this car because it's a fresh look on and exotic car. I would purchase this car over the competition simply because lamborghini, etc have very little full updates. They all look the same for the past 6 years. Nothing fresh about them. I do like your reviews as a person whom had and have many exotics to compare it to. I still like the look it is fresh and not a repeat of the hum drum exotic look. For as function. I don't need a car that wants to do 200 mph every day but has the capability of doing so.
Ya, my thought was, the car wasn't exciting enough compared to the market. I don't see why I would get this car over 570s. Actually I still think the 570s Beats this car. This car either needed a lower price tag with an even higher spec model above it or it needed a way more exciting engine
What you say is the reason why the used market for the Masarati is bad. Therefor they don's hold value much, therefor PPL with money see it as bad investment. As long as they choose to stay in this loop, the cars will not get better quality and sales stay linear... If they going to make revised special editions that tackle these "problems" they will not advance. Then the loop continue.
Maserati owners get painted as status chasing fools a lot. It’s a rough wrap that’s not always deserved. My daily driver is a Levante Modena s because I don’t wanna be another Range Rover sport, cayenne, glc , g wagon, or x5. It’s nice to just have something different
I drive an Alfa Romeo 4c. I wonder if Maserati pulled the same crap with the MC20 that they did with the 4C. I.e., spent way too much on the carbon tub and engine, and cheaped out on the interior to maximize profits
i used to work at Porsche as a test driver. Got a chance to drive a trade in maserati once. The cheap buttons, and the overall budget feel was surprising for a 150k+ car. If i had the money, i would never buy one. Rather get a Porsche
So do think they can give this car a 3yr run - 2026 and improve on the Quality of it and keep the price point where it is by adding some quality touches here and there to Compete with others in this price point. The reason i say that becuzs it's a great looking car one of the best out there as for as design they hit it out the park just need a little top Notch quality on Certain things.
Ok I own all 3 cars I was looking to get 1 myself I have a Bentley Maclean and maserati granturismo sport so my next either mc20 are Lamborghini hurricane thanks for video ...
I stopped watching when he said the steering wheel is straight out of an Abarth 'cause he clearly doesn't know what he's talking about. It's the same wheel of the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio bacause originally this car should've been an Alfa Romeo.
Pejman hardly says anything nice about most cars, but I think he's right on the money. I bought my Granturismo at about half the sticker price 4 years after it came out. M3 was cheaper, faster and more athletic, but driving it back to back with the Granturismo, and there was no comparison in terms of neck breaking ability. The V8 Vantage came close, but it was plagued with reliability problems and was underpowered. As I look at the MC20, I think the same thing. Wow it is gorgeous, and like the previous generation Granturismo that had a dated and questionably designed interior, more than willing to look past it, when this comes down to around the $120k range. At $170k, it would still be a hard pass for me, and I'd be surprised if they move much volume at the current $250k range. I think it will still be far more reliable than any McLaren, though. Those are fun and fast cars, but they won't stay together. My Granturismo has been very reliable over the past 7 years. Only time will tell if the MC20 was built as well.
Always funny when a random fast food man tries to explain style and quality to Italians.

@@ExoticCarHacks Waiting for your C8 Z06 review. Should I cancel my order?
@@CamaroSS1 why let other people tell you what to do? Does he ask you what to buy in the grocery? You earned your money, you decide.
What is the best sport car under 300k that's holding value ?
There are versions with optional upgraded interior (laser cut alcantara with blue inserts) and extra interior carbon package. Can you review that to see if it feels more premium.
I honestly prefer my yellow mc20 over my Ferrari 488 🤣
The "mansory" version of these do these justice! Just brilliant, 720hp, wide body, carbon everywhere! Also, an interior to match.
It Does have ceramic brakes. And the reason doors are carbon is because whole tub is made by dallara, plus f1 engine tech. Exterior is supercar heaven . You are SO right about
Interior man, I saw the leather seats, total trash .lol it to bad they didnt go the lambo route with interior. Massive missed opportunity. That being said, I don’t think you really drove his car because it’s very very fast
The trans knob I think is supposed to resemble a yachtmaster bezel?
My man sounds like a hater 🤷🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️😂
Yeah he is a very unhappy person. He scammed me out of $500 bucks.. I guess he needs it more than I do. LOL
Best Car Review I have seen in a while ! New to your Site !!! Great Job !!! PS !! X Maserati Owner
I'm also a multimillionaire and I completely disagree with him
Maserati MC20 is one of the best New cars on the market right now.
Good guy. Bad video.
Have a great week!
Refreshing to hear your POV. Not influenced by sponsorship. Just your "real" opinion from a guy that knows cars. Great insights. ty
If this guy knows anything about cars then Chris Harris ( who praised the MC20 ) doesn't know anything about cars .
@@Bllizzy1 logical inference
I own the ghibli, levante and granturismo....probably the most honest review ever thank you
you already got the price right haha. They're already cheap
$160's-170's all day right now even with low miles
LOL, get real.
People mistaking his crass comments as honest review?
Honestly, anyone who thinks this guy knows anything about cars are as ignorant as he is
I had a Mas and I had the same issue with the buttons. All of the buttons were the exact same as you can find in a Mazda 3
The most honest car review I’ve ever heard. Definitely do more of these reviews.
Thank you for your review. I get my Notte Saturday. We'll see how it feels and then maybe get out of it in 6-12 months for a small profit.
Trashing the car...maybe he works for Porsche....
Just worked on one of these, and agree. Inside feels like any other toyota/hyundai etc. With alcantara wrapped around stuff. I would never guess over 200k unless it has some amazing track performance or something.
He's got a point about that mode selection knob. The 2023 knob looks so much better 🤔
What a wonderful video..!! I'm subscribing..!!
That car rips man🏁 I have done a ton of homework for a new track car. I pick mine up this summer. A few people told me I’m crazy to take this over a GT-3 Cup Car.
I see the prices dropping CRAZY on these already. Gonna be a not so bad deal next year.
Comparing Ford and Maserati was so helpful. So much clarity! 😂 👍
I never was a Maserati fan but the car do look amazing! Think this is a test for them to see what people complain about and in the next generation (if there is one) they will correct the issue!
My problem with that is that if you're right they should not make their most premium product in years something they expect their top customers to beta test. Get it right the first time for that dollar.
@@ExoticCarHacks true that but you know it's the best way to milk money out of costumers... Each generation you do little updates until you nail it and then watch all the sub genre or the same will come out! Just look at Lamborghini with the hurrican or Aventador... Every model is a Sub genre of these 2 now!
@@Atem_S. NO ! Lamborghini Aventador SVJ Models The Roadster Low mileage under a 1,000 miles & less than 500 miles go for 1.8 to $2.5 Million!! The SVJ was Limited Production only 800 made World Wide
21:16 is exactly how it panned out. I predict a $110k market for this upcoming (maybe not the Cielo)
My SMG-II in my old M3 had a lovely click but plastic paddles. Changed them for longer aluminium ones for the win
Good detailed review. The MC12 is one of my favorite cars of all time. This, the 992 911 and Lexus LC500 are probably my favorite car designs now. It breaks my heart that the MC20 build quality and fit/finish is trash like the “lower end” Maserati Stellantis/Chrysler parts bin cars (Ghibli, Levante, etc).
Porsche GT4RS Curious question. My GT4RS arrived, $203 MSRP where’s my value 8 months from now, and 18 months from now with low mileage? 6” of snow here!! ain’t driving it till May.
If you paid MSRP you'll be fine for 18 months with low miles and a good spec.
Great review and very objective; well done Sir
I am blessed and own an amazing factory matte black Huracan. When the MC20 was first announced I thought it was the best looking car in the industry but didnt pull the trigger for the fear of how bad Maseratis depreciate and the build. I test drove one of these twice, on the streets and highway; I dont have the same opinion as reviewer. I thought the build quality was unbelievably good. You must see the car in person, the looks are amazing, one of the best in the industry. It is unbelievably/surprisingly fast. Him complaining about the door handle I dont understand. Porsche GT's (unbelievable cars) that cost the same, if not more, have pretty much the same thing and no one complains about it. The interior is one that you're going to love it or hate it. I like the minimalistic look of the interior, some may not. Some exotic car interiors are just way to busy on the interior. While driving fast speed do you really want to be distracted by a whole bunch of buttons, I don't think so. The sound is the sound, do you really expect a V6 to sound like a V10; I would hope not. Overall I still found the sound pleasing. In closing tho, I will admit that Maserati built the MC20 to change their image and try to rid themselves of exactly how this reviewer feels about them; I'm not sure the MC20 will do that but I still do believe its an amazing car. In regards to depreciation, only time will tell. But lets face, almost any car you buy and drive off the lot depreciates. I think most dont buy are car thinking they are going to make a prophet when they sell. The last three years was just an absolute fluke and we wont see that again in our life time. God Bless you all and enjoy what ever car you like and can afford!!
Love it’s class and simplicity
9:47 dude that door button is from a Fiat 500 electric!
They definitely missed an opportunity to have something special. It will be a nice car at that 150K-160K range, and hopefully in a year or 2 someone will have found a way to tune it and make it bit more exciting. It looks so good and has a nice presence. Thank you for another honest review!
$250,000 car needs a tune for excitement?
we need a review of the 296 GTB! the only man who gives us honest reviews
I will
would love to hear your opinion about mclaren gt!
Trash
Gm already been putting those mirrors on their Camaros, vettes and some trucks I believe.
Great review
They sell about 1300 mc20 a year worldwide. The price will go down a lot in a few more years. Right now is 170k already
The Car and you need the same thing a real Diet 😂😂😂
so what are the good things about it?
Can you do a review on the 765lt spider the white with blue interior pls🙏🏼
I think these are first world problems. When you think of Maserati you don’t think of it’s top speed, the exterior speaks for itself. That’s exactly what they did here for a fair price. Not every car needs to be as equal as other cars. Look at Dodges interior vs sales. This car deserves a little more respect cause I thought it was a million dollar car when I first seen it.
Kudos for this review, you called a spade a spade. I test drove this in ’22 and my immediate reaction was that this car carries an artificial price premium that can’t be justified by car’s quality or any kind of supercar feel. It’s just a high margin product, that doesn’t deliver on its promise. It feels generic, like they purchased a bunch of different stuff from Chinesse manufacturers and put it all together, making it totally soulless. Sound-wise it’s close to high powered turbo Ford Focus than entry level supercar like Audi R8..
MC20 EVO magazine 2022 car of the year beating out Mclaren Artura and Ferrari 296GTB
loved ur comparsion of the cup to masseratti.
When the 458 was new we complained about the interior plastics. They’re all terrible! The problem with the Mazza is that it’s not enjoyable to push to the limit. It’s not as bad as the I8 BMW, but it’s not far off!
😂😂 Great review!
Nothing worst then walking with empty mini coffee cup 😂
Please explain how do you sell this car over sticker prise where i live "Switzerland" you can buy this car for the sticker price and no one would pay over it.
I can't wait! Looks great, reminds me of the mc12
It's also an R8 alternative just a stylish Italian version.
Is this lower quality than a Corvette C8 inside?
No, the C8 is horrible
@@ExoticCarHacks 😂
@@ExoticCarHacks I love this review video, I've probably watched it 10 times. But in no way is the interior of the C8 horrible, its absolutely gorgeous and miles ahead of the MC20 interior.
Dude! 💯 nailed it!! Car is underwhelming at best. I was bored. My old m5 comp is better. Way better. R8, better, 570 s better, turbo s wayyy better, huracan wayyyy better, superleggera way better, db11 better. I have no clue how people get behind this car.
Great honest review. Next the C8?!?!!
Coming soon
@@ExoticCarHacks Hurry I cant wait!!!
That steering wheel and paddles are straight from the update Alfa
I like this car because it's a fresh look on and exotic car. I would purchase this car over the competition simply because lamborghini, etc have very little full updates. They all look the same for the past 6 years. Nothing fresh about them. I do like your reviews as a person whom had and have many exotics to compare it to. I still like the look it is fresh and not a repeat of the hum drum exotic look. For as function. I don't need a car that wants to do 200 mph every day but has the capability of doing so.
One year later they’re going for 170 😂
yep as predicted will head to 120 to 150
I really wanted to hear your opinion on this car because I thought it would disappoint. Probably not for the right reason though.
Ya, my thought was, the car wasn't exciting enough compared to the market. I don't see why I would get this car over 570s. Actually I still think the 570s Beats this car.
This car either needed a lower price tag with an even higher spec model above it or it needed a way more exciting engine
I owned a 570s. My MC20 is quicker with way less turbo lag than the 570s.
What you say is the reason why the used market for the Masarati is bad.
Therefor they don's hold value much, therefor PPL with money see it as bad investment.
As long as they choose to stay in this loop, the cars will not get better quality and sales stay linear...
If they going to make revised special editions that tackle these "problems" they will not advance.
Then the loop continue.
Maserati owners get painted as status chasing fools a lot. It’s a rough wrap that’s not always deserved.
My daily driver is a Levante Modena s because I don’t wanna be another Range Rover sport, cayenne, glc , g wagon, or x5.
It’s nice to just have something different
I drive an Alfa Romeo 4c. I wonder if Maserati pulled the same crap with the MC20 that they did with the 4C. I.e., spent way too much on the carbon tub and engine, and cheaped out on the interior to maximize profits
i used to work at Porsche as a test driver. Got a chance to drive a trade in maserati once. The cheap buttons, and the overall budget feel was surprising for a 150k+ car. If i had the money, i would never buy one. Rather get a Porsche
I think it's one of the best looking cars, fantastic design. I'm not sure I could live with those cheap paddles or lack of tactile AC control.
So do think they can give this car a 3yr run - 2026 and improve on the Quality of it and keep the price point where it is by adding some quality touches here and there to Compete with others in this price point. The reason i say that becuzs it's a great looking car one of the best out there as for as design they hit it out the park just need a little top Notch quality on Certain things.
Ok I own all 3 cars I was looking to get 1 myself I have a Bentley Maclean and maserati granturismo sport so my next either mc20 are Lamborghini hurricane thanks for video ...
I stopped watching when he said the steering wheel is straight out of an Abarth 'cause he clearly doesn't know what he's talking about. It's the same wheel of the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio bacause originally this car should've been an Alfa Romeo.
found a few listed in FL for
$182,000 and $189,900
MC20 is better than the McLaren F1.
Worst take in the world goes to... YOU!
The steering whell is from the Alfa Romeo Giulia
Pejman hardly says anything nice about most cars, but I think he's right on the money. I bought my Granturismo at about half the sticker price 4 years after it came out. M3 was cheaper, faster and more athletic, but driving it back to back with the Granturismo, and there was no comparison in terms of neck breaking ability. The V8 Vantage came close, but it was plagued with reliability problems and was underpowered.
As I look at the MC20, I think the same thing. Wow it is gorgeous, and like the previous generation Granturismo that had a dated and questionably designed interior, more than willing to look past it, when this comes down to around the $120k range. At $170k, it would still be a hard pass for me, and I'd be surprised if they move much volume at the current $250k range.
I think it will still be far more reliable than any McLaren, though. Those are fun and fast cars, but they won't stay together. My Granturismo has been very reliable over the past 7 years. Only time will tell if the MC20 was built as well.
