Then again it is a limited production car. The car is constructed primarily of carbon fiber so it is not just some rebodied maserati coupe. I have also read that it will have more power and a different engine than just the 4.2L V8 of the Maserati. I think this is a very good move and I was surprised when it was said the introduction wouldn't be until 2010. I doubt it will cost 200K, more like 150K. Then again it is a limited production car.

The 8C has always been quoted around $90-100k since it's prototype showing a couple years ago. $200k is ridiculous of course, which is comparing it to the F430, Gallardo, future GT2, etc., that are far better cars.
