The verdict

What's good

Mature third-model-year build quality reflects lessons from early production examples
Retractable hardtop mechanism now benefits from two prior years of field reliability data
Nettuno engine's twin pre-chambers create a linear mid-range pull no rival V6 replicates
Interior quality on par with Bentley in terms of stitching and surface finish care

What's not

Persistent thin dealer network remains the single biggest ownership friction point
Low-speed ride harshness in Corsa mode makes urban commuting uncomfortable
Electronics gremlins on early examples underscore the need for extended warranty purchase
Track-day use accelerates consumable wear at a cost that rivals budget-conscious owners out

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.

'Nettuno' (Neptune) honors the Trident badge, drawn from the statue in Bologna's Piazza del Nettuno.
A pre-chamber sits between a second spark plug and the main chamber, igniting the fuel faster and more completely than any conventional road V6.
