Maserati MC20
Why 4.0: The Nettuno V6's F1-derived pre-chamber ignition is a genuinely novel piece of engineering wearing a badge with decades of resale baggage attached. Reviewers rate the chassis and engine on merit; the used market still prices in the trident's reputation first.

Sound
The Nettuno's pre-chamber combustion is remarkable engineering and it does rev to 8,000, so there is a hard edge up top. But Maserati buried it — the exhaust is quiet and the turbochargers dominate, making the noise the weakest part of a serious car.

There aren't any — strict two-seater.
The owner's manual states it directly: "Your vehicle's passenger seat is equipped with the child restraint anchorage system called LATCH" — real factory anchors on the car's only passenger seat.
Rare among the two-seat exotics in this batch for having documented factory anchors at all.
Maserati MC20 Owner's Manual
The long version
Maserati built its first in-house engine in a generation for this car, and road testers largely agree the Nettuno V6 deserves better company than the brand's recent history usually gets it. That history is exactly the problem: decades of Maserati reliability complaints and weak resale numbers precede every MC20 listing, regardless of how the specific car has held up. Values have stayed closer to sticker than a typical Maserati thanks to genuine scarcity and enthusiast curiosity about the new engine, but buyers are still paying a trident tax on exit that a Ferrari or McLaren with the same specs would not.
