The verdict

What's good

  • Nettuno engine is a genuine in-house design with F1-derived pre-chamber combustion
  • Retractable hardtop provides true open-air experience without fabric compromise
  • Mid-engine balance gives neutral handling that flatters drivers of varying skill
  • Trident badge remains rare enough that it turns heads in ways Ferrari no longer does

What's not

  • Maserati dealer network is sparse, making service appointments inconvenient
  • Rear visibility with roof up is extremely limited and parking cameras are essential
  • Reliability record for the Nettuno engine in early production cars has been inconsistent
  • Luggage capacity is minimal — barely enough for a weekend bag behind the engine

The engine

Nettuno

Twin-Turbo V6

A 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 with Formula 1-derived pre-chamber 'twin-spark' combustion, spinning to 8,000 rpm and delivering a hard, metallic top-end rush rather than a lazy turbo shove.

Maserati's first wholly in-house engine in over two decades, designed and built at Modena. Its pre-chamber ignition is lifted straight from F1 power-unit technology — a first for a road-car V6.
