Is this supposed to be a joke? It's like they took style cues from every sport luxury car currently on the market and mixed them together to get this ugly piece of crap..

Looks like a Maserati 3200 GT that crashed into a BMW M3csl and then got hit at the front by a Porsche Cayenne :shock:

Ugly :x

Guys, these scans don't present exactly what the production car will look like, this is just a PS. The front lights seem to have been lifted off a Merc CSL and modified slightly. As for the technicality, the plus side of parting with Ferrari is instantly visible, a 500BHP engine would have never been possible before (fear of stealing sales from the F430).

The name change is also a good idea, both "coupe" and "spyder" feel very plain compared with the exotic names of Ferrari and Lambo models.

"Revealed" seems a bit too rich. Maserati haven't said anything about it.
