Who said that the passion for cars was dead? Praised be the Italians, praised be the good city of Modena, which just gave birth to a (magnificent) baby no one was expecting: lo, the MC20.<\/h4>\n

With its presentation already postponed by a few months due to the pandemic, the MC20<\/a> was eagerly awaited by enthusiasts around the world. It has been more than 15 years since Maserati had produced a supercar; the legendary MC12 in 2004. And now here comes its little sister, the MC20, an aerodynamic sculpture equipped with a 3.0\u00a0L V6\u00a0engine with 630\u00a0horsepower and 729\u00a0Nm of torque. The brand has announced an acceleration speed of 0 to 100\u00a0km\/h (60mph) in 2.9\u00a0seconds and a top speed of 323\u00a0km\/h (200mph). All this preferably on the track.<\/p>\n

What about its style? That\u2019s up to you to judge, but at the risk of sounding biased, let\u2019s just say straight off that we love it! With a dash of McLaren fluidity, a hint of Ferrari felicity, a few drops of Jaguar elegance and of course the Maserati DNA as a basic ingredient, you\u2019ve got a cocktail to be consumed without moderation. And for an exciting twist to this drink \u2013 a first for the brand \u2013 butterfly wing doors, which are the best way to open wide the access to a sports car interior (and, let\u2019s admit it, the most spectacular).<\/p>\n

Light (less than 1,500\u00a0kg - 3,307\u00a0lb) thanks to its carbon fibre bodywork, and powerful thanks to the 630\u00a0horsepower of its new engine baptised Nettuno (Neptune, the Roman god of turbulent waters, inseparable from his trident, itself the emblem of Maserati, so the circle is complete!), the MC20 is equipped with streamlined aerodynamics that allow it to dispense with any unsightly appendages. In any case for its road version, as the brand is announcing that this car will be the one to return to competition on the racing circuit.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
