I think we all knew this was a possiblility. The BIG IF is all based on the economy. If they do make it, lets hope its not a Euro only thing and leave us Americans with the shaft.

Oh that'd be so cool!

THAT would probably be a worth replacement for my GS.

I will probably be too expensive to justify getting over an F430.

 

[BigFoot]

It should be well below the USD 200k mark. I guess it will cost USD 150k.

 

[Niteroi]

And you should compare it to the 612(over $300k), not the 430.

 

[BigFoot]

I disagree, the actual comparison, if you really want to have one, should be with a 430 Scuderia, the track-oriented version of the F430.

I know the rear seats and all, but the use the GT MC Corse would be put to is similar to a Scuderia not as a highway cruiser like the 612.

In reality, I think the actual benchmark will be the Porker GT3.

I believe the strongest selling points for the Maserati Coupes (Coupe, GS, GT and etc) are: Back seat, Ferrari engine and price (Cheap Ferrari with a back seat), so I don't see how it would compare with the 430, because if you can get a way with only 2 seats and you want a real sports car then you shouldn't even have considered the GT to start with. IMO

 

[BigFoot]

But the MC Corse would be the track-friendly equivalent of the GranTurismo S, so it should be compared to track-friendly/focused cars, no?

 

[Niteroi]

BF, maybe you're right. It's because back seat is so important to me that I don't even think about 2 seaters. My kids only want to ride in the GS, so if I didn't have the back seat I would never drive the car.

At this point in my life the only Ferrari would be the 612. Maybe a 612 Scuderia!

The 599 GTB would be pretty sweet though (beside the fact it costs ... what? 3x a GranTurismo?)
