I'm liking it more and more. Especially in that red with the contrasting black roof. It's much better looking than the NSX IMO. The NSX is just too angular and I like how the Artura flows better.
I think the MC20 is actually the $200k+ range sports car to be excited about at the moment. completely unique IC engine with f1-derived combustion innovation and massive specific power output, carbon chassis, and frankly some very attractive and clean looks. To me, this is infinitely more desirable than any hybrid.

All things considered, exact same could be said about Mclaren. both problematic unreliable brands. I'll take my chances with the one backed by Ferrari know-how and a much simpler drivetrain.

But the MC20 is going to be the first Maserati withouta Ferrari engine, using an in-house powerplant that Maserati calls the Nettuno.
In fact, the MC20 represents the symbolic hard break between Maserati and Ferrari.

Ok, but it's still an FCA company with a massive manufacturing and engine-building knowledge-base. Regardless, a hybrid power train is always significantly more complex than a pure IC.. I'm very excited specifically about the Nettuno engine and I'm looking at the MC20 as a future car. English one just doesn't feel anywhere close to as unique or focused.
What I find very surprising is how close they are in weight despite the mclaren's batteries.

I picked up a 3800 mi 675LT a few weeks ago. I had read and watched tons of reviews on this car before I bought it. Chris Harris, Evo, et all were completely bonkers over the car. I was worried it wouldn’t live up to the hype.....but it certainly did. The driving experience and connection to the car is one of the best I’ve ever experienced. I’ve now driven the 675LT back to back with my CGT, GT2RS, GT3RS and Lambo STS, and it holds up very well against these cars. The way the power delivery comes on makes it feel the fastest of the bunch (though the GT2RS may be a tad quicker— it. doesn’t feel like it). The steering feedback (from the electro-hydraulic rack) and quick 2 turn lock to lock steering, let you precisely place the car. The stiff engine mounts have the whole car buzzing around you as if it were alive—just like the CGT, only more so. And the cannon fire cracks on spirited up shifts will have you giggling like a school girl.
Truly one of the automotive world’s greatest overall driving experiences. I am now a believer.
The car is an absolute steal for where they are currently priced. I have 2 friends looking for one now too. If you haven’t looked into one, you’re missing out.

Congrats!
Not sure if you've had a chance to take it to track but the relative driving excitement is amplified vs the 991.2 2RS and 3RS. I'm fastest in the 675LT of the 3 - yes the 2RS is quicker in the long straights but the confidence it gives you in turns I more than make up for it at my track.
And when I take out the 675LT and I'm chasing another fast PCA instructor in his 2RS i get held up into braking zones.
The 675LT is a keeper but she's not bullet proof like the 3RS. And would add a 765LT when the timing works and would not trade it in.
