New Car For The Wife
Just bought this for the wife pick it up Saturday.

I drove my S the one hour journey to the agent then drove this 3500 mile example for 45 minutes on the same roads. I was shocked at how fast my PORSCHE was in comparison to this 390 BHP car. The 911 would eat it for breakfast. Ok the Maserati is a fast car but now I realise that Porsche build big horse power 355 BHP probably more like 380 BHP!
The V8 did sound nice though!

It's a great contrasting types of cars but in a nice way they compliment each other ie. the racer image and performance of a pure mid-engined open topped roadster and the luxury and refinement of an Italian exotic
