I put the deposit down last year and submitted the order and config this week, has anyone else done it?

Config ID - DC23850D

Been watching a few of the videos and half wishing I’d gone white, although I know will be a bugger to keep clean.. have chosen red...

Egham said they were expecting 7 cars this year, assuming no delays.

I’m a bit nervous about buying without seeing one in the flesh but I know I’ll regret it later if I don’t take the risk.

I’ve gone for black leather with red stitching.

Fly over to Dubai and see it, every other bugger is here!
Its on display at The Lodge for a couple of days.
I think you made the right decision by taking the plunge. Restricted supply means your money is pretty safe and I think it's going to be a great steer.
I wish I was in Dubai, usually get over a couple of times a year but stuck with the crappy UK weather just now.

I saw the supercar blondie video from Dubai, looked good - the car that is!

What is the approximate cost of a decent spec car?
And expected delivery dates?
I’ve spec’d mine at £256k which is probably too high however I’m sure others have done more.

The options definitely add up.

37k for visual carbon? Thar does seem a little excessive - you did not go for a base spec car then smile
Mmmm... ok, let’s never talk about how much that cost again! Ouch... probably should have spent more time looking at the price list.. oh well...

That stitching isn’t cheap either, it almost makes the carbon look like good value..

All they’ve said is that it should be before the end of the year, assuming no delays..

I had been looking at an F8 but they just didn’t grab me, besides I’ve never had a Maserati and thought it would be worthwhile owning one at least once.

I’ve just sold my McLaren - what a pile of crap that car was - awful reliability, awful dealer service.. great cars when they work but no soul.

I did my spec just before Christmas. I went with the matt white after back and forth with the grey. I'm told a static car will be in Westfield in March (odd place and an odd time). Dealers will have static cars shortly afterwards. First UK cars being made week 28 so thats July so I think it will be Sept before first RHD cars arrive.
The matt white does look stunning, I was very close to choosing it... assume you ordered through Egham?

You only live once and the car does look absolutely stunning imo - much prefer the looks to all of the recent mid-engined Ferraris - on second thought actually to all recent Ferraris
And I fully agree - owning a Maserati is still on my list, although in my case a GranSport will do very nicely (the last pretty/want one car they made until this one)
Looking forward to pics and driving impressions once you get it
Good ethos - we’re a long time dead.. smile

How many will go without the carbon if the alternative is rather smart ?

Will White be available in gloss - has matte is impossible to match ?

Are deposits being taken for the spyder version as yet ?
Not sure about the spyder, as far as I know they aren’t.. I was concerned the coupe would turn up and the spyder would steal the show.

I was told a few weeks ago that mine would arrive later this month or beginning of November - I've just chased them now to see whether they have a more exact date.

The black one that Romans posted looked immense. Now wishing I'd gone black - hopefully red looks just as good.

Also need to figure out a good time to mention to the wife that I may have bought a new car..

To the OP - it’s a beauty. I don’t know anything about them but I reckon it will prove exceptionally rare, and I think it looks fantastic.
Thanks buddy.

Would be even better if the dealer could give some indication of when mine would arrive! Oh well... will come when it comes.. gives me more time to tell the OH that I've bought it..

Mine arrived at the dealership yesterday so should be on the road in a week or two
Lucky sod. What colour are you getting.?
White - almost same as launch car. Picking up next week.
Congratulations! Mine is delayed another month... with garage being useless in their comms.

Will look forward to hearing about yours and seeing the pics, the white does look immense!

Hey,

Did you pick the car up? I’m still getting fobbed off - worse dealer experience ever from a comms perspective.

What are your thoughts on it? Pics?
