[QUOTE=NicFromLA;853321]I strongly disagree with you. The Zonda really isn't what an Italian Supercar should be. First, the Zonda has too many styling features and the details are distracting from the overall presence of the car, an outrageous yet cohesive design is an Italian signature. Second, Italy builds some the the greatest engines on Earth, yet the Zonda has a Mercedes-Benz engine. Need I say more?[/QUOTE]
It's not perfect, but what would you rather have?
The Enzo? Nope, I'm sorry if you consider the Zonda a mess the Enzo is downright ugly. And it has a stupid gearbox. And the interior is nowhere near the Zonda's...
The Murcielago? Mmmm... I like it but germans have tamed the raging bull just a little bit too much. Also it needs to lose some weight. And four wheel drive.
The Zonda [I]is[/I] the one.

well they pull off that engine really well... i don't really put much stock in the whole 'engines country of origin defines the car', but you may have somnething there considering what italy puts out. it's just that merc V12 seems to suit it really well, and seems far removed from it's original application

I think that the only engine which would be more suitable than the Merc's V12, is Lambo's V12.

I feel the need to repost my answer to Nick, I think no one noticed it because it was the last of the first page
[QUOTE=LeonOfTheDead;853324]being Italian I agree with Ferrer.
and [I]we [/I]don't have a good and large engine as that you find in the Zonda.
apart from the Maserati V8, all the others are screamers. Perhaps the Murcielago V12 is different, but the attitude of the MB engine isn't matched by any of [I]our [/I]offers. they are quite different approaches to be honest.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Ferrer;853303]This has nothing to do with TG.

The MC12 isn't a Maserati.
It's just an Enzo in racing overalls. It should have no place in a Maserati lineup.

Personally, I'd take the MC12. I think the simple styling works and it seems to do quite well around the track. I also love the 6 litre V12 that's in the Enzo/MC12.
I used to really think the Enzo was ugly, but over time I've warmed a little on the car. The stark geometry of the fenders is growing on me and, after someone pointed it out, I've come to like the way the greenhouse rises over the car like the cockpit canopy on a fighter jet.

take your time with responses, dont be so quick to post.... if you have a question with something, research it before you post. try not to post something without thinking about it. it makes life for everyone easier, and will allow us to take you more seriously as someone who either has knowledge or wants to learn.
