I was recently shopping another car - Huracans, Romas, 488s, but moved onto an MC20 to keep my Aston Martin DB11 V12 company. I struggled with the V6 part. I like more cylinders like V10s, V12s, W12s, etc.

And, not that straight line speeds are important to my buying decisions as I am mainly in for the GT part, it turns out this little V6 can really put out if you want it to. The MC20 V6 HP rating is 621; my Aston V12 is 631. The 0-60 times for the DB11 is 3.4, and the MC20 is 2.9, a match to the overrated Corvette C8.

We will see how this goes, but so far, after a few hundred miles it's a thumbs up!

congrats.
I think those are really pretty and I assume more than fast enough. Pretty is more important than ultimate speed imo.

Thank you all for the nice comments. Love the car so far.

In a very safe place in Florida and very early where there is no traffic, I took an extremely long entrance ramp to the I 75. Out of the last curve before the straight onto the expressway I was 60mph (30mph curve), then up to 128mph as I hit the 70mph expressway then on to the brakes to get the 70mph speed match.

So far, the performance is better than I imagined from a V6.

I put my car in a large Cars and Coffee in Florida. The next day I was perusing another car forum and found someone posted a pic of my car. The poster, a Maserati owner too, recognized there was something different about the paint and he commented about it.

My car has a Fuoriserie paint option AI Aqua Rainbow which is a color changing paint. When the sun or bright light hits it, rainbow colors appear out of the blue.

We had the detuned version of this engine in our Grecale. It was plenty fast enough in that!

Also it sounded great and I mean properly great so not just great for a 6 cylinder.
