For Sale is my 2001 MR2 Spyder  - Turbo'd with only 79k miles

I have enjoyed driving this MR2 spyder in the Colorado sunshine for around 8-9 years. I purchased the car when it had 23k miles on it from a person that moved to Colorado from California. So the car has always been in a dry climate. I have the title so we will not be delayed with bank transactions. With a curb weight of only 2190 the MR2 is very light. Add a turbo application and you create a very fast and fun ride.  The boost is currently at 10psi for winter driving. During the warm months the boost is  adjusted to 15-20 psi and produces 350 horse-power at the wheels. There has been allot of time and money invested into this ride. Below I have listed all the modifications I could think of and an estimate of what the cost for each option has been.  It is amazing how much money gets spent making our cars fun and I realize we don't get that money back when its time to resell. Below represents $12,730 of value just in parts without any labor cost. This car is offered at a great price!

I consider myself a very picky person with cars. My family has drag raced sport compact cars for many years with multiple magazine features and one of our race cars featured at SEMA. This car is very clean. No rust ever on the car. No tears or fading in the interior. The new convertible top was installed in 2013. There is one small ding on the front fender and door. There is also some paint that has flaked on the passenger corner of the front fender. This is a really nice ride and very fast. You can see I have 100% feedback most of which is buying. I have sold one car on ebay around 6 years ago that went very smooth. I have added a couple pictures from last spring you can see with the colors turning in the leaves. Also pictures I had of the parts when they were installed new.

Seller will be responsible for all transportation set up and cost. A $500 deposit is due within 24 hours of the auction ending. You are more than welcome to pick the car up here in Denver, Colorado. I also welcome any pre inspections at my home. The car does not come with any type of warrenty and I am not aware of any mechanical issues. Good luck bidding! Someone will end up owning a great car.

Subcompact sales slump, yet again

Maserati MC20 appears in artsy, blurry teaser

Sat, Mar 7 2020

Maserati said it's entering a new era. Judging by these teaser shots of the a camouflaged MC20 prototype supercar, it's clear Maserati plans to strut its way into that new era con il coraggio and braggadocio. Maserati took its future flagship to the Piazza degli Affari in Milan, for a set of mostly blurry photos in front of Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan's sculpture called "L.O.V.E." Maserati called the artwork "a symbol of Italian audacity in international contemporary art," for the sake of clarity, we'll call it a giant marble bird flipped at anyone who might ask, "You talkin' to me?" The MC20 is thought to be built around the carbon chassis laid up for the 4C, stretched lengthwise and across to create an overall larger package. We can't tell much about the real masterpiece in the photos, but it is clear the MC20 prototype has shed its gawky bodywork borrowed from the Alfa Romeo 4C to slip into something more comfortable. A very Maserati nose leads with a large grille and sits prominently ahead of the other bodywork. Behind that, an Italianate supercar form combines plenty of intakes, deep side skirts, a seamless rake to the backlight, and a short rear overhang. In back, powertrains developed at Maserati and for Maserati should make all sorts of lusty noises. The top powertrain is expected to be a hybrid V6 with three electric motors and around 600 horsepower, there's hearsay about an all-electric model, and rumors of a turbocharged V8 won't die. The only gearbox mentioned so far is an eight-speed dual-clutch shooting power to the rear wheels. Autoevolution believes the hybrid engine will translate into a sprint to 62 miles per hour in around two seconds and a top speed beyond 186 miles per hour, just the kind of giddy-up one would expect from a challenger aimed at the Lamborghini Huracan Evo. If anything, 600 hp sounds conservative seeing as the Alfa Romeo Giulia GTA gets 540 hp from its 2.9-liter turbocharged V6 without electric help. The MC20 will take on Lamborghini's championship-winning finest on the track, too, the MC20 — for Maserati Corse 2020 — surely headed for an FIA entry in track-only form. For now, the MC20 continues its driving program to prepare for its debut in May. The coupe version should come first, going on sale in Europe late this year and in the U.S. sometime next year, followed by a convertible variant.  

2019 Maserati Levante GTS First (Wet) Drive Review | A brief taste of a Ferrari-flavored SUV

Thu, Jul 26 2018

If it rained any harder, someone would've had to scrounge up an extremely old man to build a giant ship and start herding animals. Lake Huron is dryer. My shoes were still unwearably soggy the next day. So, not exactly the best environment to sample the 550-horsepower, V8-powered leviathan of a performance SUV known as the 2019 Maserati Levante GTS. Sure, it has all-wheel drive and a limited-slip rear differential, but those are traction aids, not magic. In any event, our time with the "lesser" of two V8-powered Levantes would be limited, compromised and extremely damp, but several laps around the M1 Concourse in Pontiac, Mich., nevertheless provided a taste of what one might expect under better conditions. Chiefly, you can expect noise. Beautiful, beautiful noise. Even with our heads and ears encased in helmets, the V8 sang a nasty warbling wail. Though built by Ferrari in Maranello, the 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 doesn't build to the expected screaming Italian crescendo – it's deeper, more muscular and still deeply invigorating. You'd undoubtedly drive like a buffoon just to hear the thing. Second gear may be popular. Maserati Levante GTS View 8 Photos Stuffing a V8 into the Levante was never originally intended. It was only supposed to have a V6. Nevertheless, a group of engineers secretly took it upon themselves to see if they could fit the Quattroporte GTS' V8 into the Levante, because why not? Turns out they could and in the process, even beef up the engine. Rather than being lambasted by their bosses for going rogue on their little skunkworks project, Maserati instead green-lit not one but two V8-powered Levantes: the 550-hp GTS and 590-hp Trofeo. See, screwing around at work does have its benefits. The differences between GTS and Trofeo are largely horsepower, some minor cosmetic differences, and the Trofeo's extra standard equipment and heftier price tag. Respectively, that would be $121,475 and $171,475. The priciest V6-powered Levante S GranSport goes for $93,475. Maserati Levante Trofeo View 13 Photos Maserati didn't stop with the engine, however. The chassis was tuned to handle all those extra prancing horses, and while suspension componentry is shared with the rest of the line, tuning is specific for the V8's. The Sport Skyhook adaptive damping system was also retuned, while the air springs feature six different height levels spanning a total of 3 inches from its lowest to highest position.
