Slower to 200km/h than a Cambiocorsa(?!), and RS4, and RS6.

Hmm, sportscar, hmmm...

Is it still a 2+2 seater?

Thats the maseratis strenght, that it is the only coupe (compared to XKR, 911, DB7, 456 etc) that you can acctually fit 4x 180cm ppl in.

But the design is nice though, I just miss those boomerang taillights :(
