Too long or short?

1971 was the last time that the SL was below 4.5m

Roadsters should be short. Otherwise they are road yachts.

Interesting - I've not come across that definition before. (not to say it isn't true).

I'd only ever known the definition of roadster as being open-bodied with a single row of seats. Which would mean the new SL is not a roadster based on the 2+2 layout.

Although that does bring to mind the RAS syndrome of the MR2 Roadster......

Yes. Roadsters must be nimble, yachts are not.

If you are defining a roadster as having to be nimble, that need not be small though.

Quite so. In the dim and distant past, when I was a boy racer on the streets of North London, my friends and I would often thrash around the locality in our smallish cars such as Imps and Escorts. However, none of us could keep up with one of our friends who used to often drive around in his boss' Bentley which quite easily both out-dragged and cornered quicker than any of us (and most of us others raced quite successfully a little later, so we weren't slouches by any means).

I very quickly came to appreciate that even large cars can be nimble.

No (Testarossa = ).

It's more the curved shape with the red/black horizontal contrast. Also the exhaust pipes, which are looking like two short dummy pipes instead of real exhausts.

Maserati MC20 Cielo





'Maserati has revealed the long-promised convertible version of its recently launched MC20 supercar, which features a unique ‘smart glass’ panel in its folding roof.'
'Apart from the roof, the MC20 Cielo is technically identical to the MC20 coupé, taking its power from Maserati's new 621bhp twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre V6, the Nettuno.

The high-revving mid-mounted powerplant will propel the MC20 Cielo from 0-62mph in around 3.0sec.

The carbonfibre tub and butterfly doors are also carried over and the roof mechanism adds just 65kg to the total kerbweight, which is posted at 1540kg. '

The press review embargo is over.

All Artura units tested had software glitches, and a few had more serious mechanical problems.

Some magazines are burying or ignoring this information.

Lovely car, although a bit too large for my taste.
Is the Gran Cabrio photo official or just a rendering?
