All right, ready to go. Rock and roll. Rock and roll. Let's do it.
Good morning. Good afternoon. Good evening. Listen to the old talk car podcast live drive.
We're inside the lair and we're in something I've been so excited to get in this car. It's an Italian Monaro. No, what's it called? What's it called?
The Out in Italian Monaro. It's a Mazzarati. Gran Turismo. MC.
Stradale. Wow. The mouthful. I'm excited.
Because I've been in the statesman. I've been in the quad-torque port there. Yes. But I've never been in one of these.
This is the... This is the GT... This is like the GTS 350. This is Monaro.
This is the duck scout. Oh, with the digital dash. Well, this one. They got a digital knife on me.
All right. So we're going to crack it? It's got an analog clock. It's got a clock.
We've got a clock. We've got a clock. We've got real needles. Yeah.
And it's got no-gear boxes, buttons. Yep. There's... Is that like sticking from the...
No, carbon fiber. It's not from an Nissan GDR. No, real carbon fiber. Real carbon fiber.
Yes. Real carbon fiber. There's the suede steering wheel. It's the Ferrari V8.
All right. And it sounds amazing. And it's the biggest up-down gear shift thingies I've ever seen. Yeah.
It's the size of a dinner plate. And carbon fiber. They're carbon fiber as well. And we haven't turned the battery light on.
No. I'm guessing that the mavis all from... Straight out of a car. Right side.
That's easily used for those. There's a loose. Here we go. Crank it.
Sorry for... Whoever's got their pods in and out of the loud. Sorry. Sorry.
All right. Let's get out of the land. Let's go after a drive. Oh, we did start this car earlier.
All those people are going to hate on us for revving a cold engine. No, yeah. It's been what? We didn't do that.
Yeah. It's just having a... Yeah. It was having a motor running.
Into your life. We'll go off. And open the closer door again. Okay.
But this car is fairly new. Because it's got to have any colons on it. So that's just part of the character of the light, being like, yeah, it's a quick. That's part of the un-shit.
Okay. So now we're just trying to get out of the lair. You can't find the pilot though, but then we... That's the car.
Oh, God. Yes. None of the switches in the car are backlit, except for the radio. Yeah.
Actually, the only switches that are backlit. And we don't reverse gear. That's lit up. And I don't know where the headlights are, either.
Because they're backlit up. And they're buttons. They're not switches. So they're headlight, but it's not.
They're buttons, not switches. Okay. So we're out of the lair in sunlight. We found this bit here.
There we go. There we go. There we go. So the speedo goes up in 30s, but starting from 0 to 20.
Then up in 30s to 320. Which I reckon we could get there. So we're just driving out. We're going to give it a bit of a run.
But... It's a look. It is a beautiful car. It's a very nice.
The drill clutch box, you know, is taken you through? It's not a drill clutch. It's like a Ferrari box. Yeah.
Yeah. Whatever. It's all good. It's all good.
Okay. So you've got to let go, change cues. Yeah. The dashboard light.
Is that because it's on the water? The lights? Okay. We've got that traction.
Yeah. Yeah. The road's not even wet. The road's not even wet.
The world is just getting. Which is odd because... It's short. I mean it's got traction on.
So... But yeah. So it's got buttons everywhere. I'm putting auto-mode.
It's not easy. So auto-mode is a key box button. Yep. Very nice car.
You've got a lot of antennae, our cantara. A lot of cows going for this. Carbon fiber, MC Stradale, badge on the dash. This is a really nice four-seo grand touring car.
Yeah. And looking at the back seat. It's a dedicated four-seo. They've got cup holders in the middle.
Yeah. But our seats are back. Yeah, it's still a bit ripped. Because we're talking about...
We used to play basketball. But there's play in the room in the back. So it's not like a 911 where you need amputees only. No.
I mean it's coffee. It's coffee. The seats are sculpted at the back. So if you were the third or fourth person in the car, you wouldn't be complaining that much.
So how many of these were made? Are these like... I'm actually not sure. I'm not sure.
I'm going to check on them. But it's the answer. It's the answer. There's one for sale at the moment in Australia.
Okay. There's only one for sale on car sales. I've got a new... Yeah.
Right. Like those. Or is this the one? No, it's the other one.
No, it's got a lot more case than this one. And I think whoever was used it as a telegram. But they're asking $130,000 for it. This one has 7,600 kilometers on it.
Wow. So it's right here. If it's like new, it's on its original parellis. It's on its original brake pads.
So this one is going on the market for $189,000. So you can email us if you're interested. Yep. You can email us.
Black on black. This is... Well, the Gerturismos now stop production. Yeah.
They've stopped making a couple of podcast cars. They've stopped making them. They've got plans for a new... Front engine, front engine, V8.
There's... I mean, it's a Ferrari engine. And many years ago, no one wanted to get a 2416. No, because it wasn't a real Ferrari.
That's right. I had a Dino that one. And it wasn't a real Ferrari. But a lot of the older Maseratis, they're collectable now.
And I think this is going to be one of those. Especially with some little kilometers. And the glorious sound of that V8. Yeah, it's a cool little car.
It's an 11-year-old shape. It hasn't really been updated. And it's still a... It's a ducted bonnet.
Big brakes. It's... I mean, I've got two kids. So I mean, I'd love to run around something like this.
You know about it? I don't know. If you hold on for another year, it might be another 65. No, no, I'd buy the car!
Someone buy the car! Do you know what's a Ferrari? Do you know what's a Ferrari? So we're about to get onto the motorway to give it a bit of a run with its desire to live.
But like the Switch Gear, it's... I mean, it's got a nav. It's got a... It's not...
You wouldn't call it like an Audi dash or anything like that. It's not. Yeah, it was... But once you get the hang of it, it's probably...
It's got the Nokia buttons on it. It's got a like every number button. It's got a nav. It's got all the basics you need.
But when you drive this car, it's not... It's... It's a... It's a...
It's a... And from the outside. And it's a bit firm. It is a bit firm for the...
You know, with the... Right, right, right, right. It's a Western Sydney, there is no suspension. So you can see it.
One size fits all. I think you can go to sport. Probably holds it right in front of me. Holds it right in front of me.
Holds it right in front of me. And there's race. There's a foot in race. Oh!
Good. Okay. But the suspension still feels the same. It's...
It's sharpened up the throttle. No. It's... I don't know, you can now stop listening now.
Yeah, that's... For those of you who hope has a race, that's the end of the podcast. But for the rest of you... I can't listen in.
We're going to go another way. It's not a traffic way we're going. So... It is a very...
It's a very tight car. It's... It's just... It's very direct.
It is a real great tour. I mean, the great tour is my name is there. But it's... It's...
It's like a lot of cars that they call great tours. Nothing like it. This being basically like... Or your...
A.G. version. Like your... I don't like that type of this in here.
Because we've found... The roads are somewhat dead. And... In parts.
In parts. And I really hate to hit a dead catch. And... Fire off into the weeds.
So... But then you're going to join your kitties for Ari. Yeah. But you're going to get from the engine like this thing just wants to go.
Oh yeah, it's... It's a glorious engine. When you get some movement in it, like it is pretty firm and you're turning it like when you go over it. But once you get up and boogie, it sort of settles down against that rhythm and it really handles really...
It is precise. I call it bars. It's not too bad actually. It's...
But it feels the box one. Yeah. It's very young. It does work.
It works. Yeah. It may have seen any speed outside the book. What are these bars at the top of your arm?
Oh, I don't know. There's no sunroofers. What is that? It's too bad something.
I'm not touching it. I'm not letting touch it. I'm not touching it. Usually it's the first thing I do when I get into someone's car.
I'm usually with the car. Yeah, I touch the barlets. And I'm in the griped off. And I'll form a boss's mind.
You gotta see all cabins. You know where I'm going. I didn't know it was a push down to open ashtray. I just tried to rip it open.
No, no, no, no. No, no, no, it's not real. It's unreal, Ticardi. I would dare say it's the lowest commonest stradale in the country.
And anyone who buys this car is going to be very happy. It's worth the premium. And you've got the carbon-fired panels. Carbon-fired everything.
Everything. Right? Alpider and carbon-fired. This is, you know?
This is my character. No, no, no, no, no. And the noise. Me?
No, no, no. Okay, well, you can buy a Porsche and call it everyone. Even the AMG for the ACE. This is a Formula One inspired car.
And it doesn't stand out like a far-rode. It's not that leery. No, no, no, no, no. It hits.
But fuck that could hit your carbon. Maybe I'll let you give us some room on the on-ramp. So now we're going to really give it a go. So there's a lot of something.
50, pretty good. Quicker than X5M, you reckon? You know what? No.
You reckon the X5M was quicker? No, X5M was definitely quicker. Wow. Yeah.
I gotta remember this is naturally aspirated for you. The X5M is something like 400 and something short. It's okay, 4 or 4. Yeah.
Right? I think this is 373.8. Naturally aspirated. But the X5M's, you know, forced induction to turbos at all times.
It's, yeah, it's got plenty of traction. But the turbos just did that linear torque. It's just just making it narrow all the way, all the way through. So I reckon I've got the 15.
You reckon I've got there quicker than this? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Look, being on a private road in Mexico, you know, we're able to go out and test these things. Yeah, we can.
Unfortunately, that private road in Mexico is the other road from my office. It's close. So we used to pay, we didn't have to pay. Yeah.
Yeah, we got the free version as well. Right? So the paid version is across in Texas. So there you have it.
So that's our live drive in the, in the, Maserati MC Stradale. Grand Turismo. It is. Yeah, so I'm going to put it back in the sport mode, because it's too jerky.
Right. Yeah. But this is a really nice car. This is, you've got to smile on your face.
Yeah. Yeah, but I love the sound. It's on the, I love, I love that. You know, this is, it's a factory exhaust and this thing sounds like an F1 car.
Here we go. You know. So now the, I put it in the sport mode. Yeah.
So the noise has been docked back at the front. The valves are closed. Right? So race mode, valves open, you know, it's, the exhaust is up wide, open.
You know, straight away. Straight away. Everything's open, you know, with your nam. And this rule, no, the rule noise is not being W7.
Acoustics. This is, you know what it really sounds good? When you do the diaxxica. It's got that little verbal on the diaxxica.
Not the snapcrackle pop of the, on the four races like the A45 in the RS3. This, yeah. This is the man's. This is the crackle stop.
And then the way it's not plugged in this is all. No. No. This is proper noise.
This is, there's no, no. You know, there's no budget in both areas. No, no, no. That's right.
You've got a budget for now. They've pushed up from a thing, a hundred or something. No, no, no, no, but they give it. But, um, they didn't have its built semi-run.
Mate. If you got the money, second answer, top by. Mate, anyone? Hit us up.
Beautiful car. Hit us up. I'll bring it to you. I'll bring it to you.
Not if you're in Victoria, but we can have a feel for our friends down there. But, um, yeah. So that's our live drive in the, uh, Miserati. It's out here in the Benaro.
This is a thrill. Hell, it doesn't, it doesn't do it just as say. Tell him, I don't know. I've got, I've got, you know, if it was just a Gran Turismo, right, maybe.
But I'm not the straight up. Sorry, Jelly, I'll be, uh, this is a nice car. I, I've, yeah, like I said, sorry, Chris, but that budget was a state's birth. This is just another, this is another level.
This is, this is, um, this is a, this is a real nice hotel. I've been looking for it. You know, I'm gonna, look, if you put this on a track with a Porsche, the Porsche, you know, it's not what it's about. It's not what it's about.
This is a, this is a really, if you want to go take it out on the weekends, you know, take your, take your car up and go around for a drive, or to go for a drive yourself to get a point to eight, get a car in the coffee. If you drive this in Italy, what are you saying? What, what, what is that representing? I come for a Ferrari.
That's what it's saying. Okay. We're going to, all right, doctor. It's, it's, I was expecting a different, it's like a bit classy, I'm not that high up in the drug anyway.
That's, that's another story. But like, this is a, this is a trade up and hanging full-wee to, to get into this car. And, and it hasn't let down. It's, it's, it's been fun.
It's a good car. I, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go, I'm gonna take him and I already know. It's not, it's not, it's not, it's not. I'll tell you what we'll do.
If the weather's good next week, right? Yeah. The weather's good next week, we will take the GDSR out for a run. Okay.
We'll go, yeah, okay. So we're going to take. So that'll be the industry, Dario, hold on, right? Well, pretty much.
We will take, all right. 722 horsepower. I'm supercharged for eight. Okay.
And compared to... Down to Mexico. Yeah. We'll do the same, same track.
No. And we'll compare the two. So I bet this is better to, I'm, I'm wrapped out of it. Actually, everyone head over to our, uh, Instagram page.
Yeah. We will upload some footage of the GDSR, right? Running down and R35 GTR at role racing. We'll put that up there and we'll put some happy snaps, um, of this car and, um, so yeah, thank you for listening.
And just a short live drive because we couple of the Ks on this thing. And a river deji. A river deji? Yes.
What, can I say, by far now? By far now. River deji. Ciao.
Ciao. Ciao. What's going on? All right, it's got the ball.
Can we just bite into the bridge?
