I think it looks great! excited to see it in person first though
Was expecting more pronounced side air intakes with more muscular haunches.....definitely more subdued than what i envisioned
I was hoping for a bit more of italian design. In pictures it doesn’t do much for me, but will probably look better in flesh. I really hope that the engine is a masterpiece. Saw this concept a while ago and really wished, that the car will look something like it: Image Unavailable, Please Login
i like it. altho, all cars shaped by the wind tunnel end up having a similar profile and look...... but as an entry level car - that will not cheapen the ferrari brand (than the california already has), it is pretty nice
Rear and side profile look stunning, not entirely sure how I feel about the front..but all in all, it's a very nice, elegant design.
I celebrate that somebody is still building small cars. But for me it´s a pity that this car looks so generic.
I think they chose wrong spec for the event. It looks 100 times better in other colours without black roof. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Website for configuration is a bit too slow.. For me (!) these are the good details: - doors - seat design - overal lines, particular in the rear half of the car - the rear end and these are for me the dissapointing details: - front section is a little too high - only a few choice of colors - no leather dashboard In general the MC20 is a more conservative design and not as flashy as Ferrari. A little bit more flashy would have been OK for me. But...I like it and so I will be a potential buyer. I heard that the Spider-version will follow early next year. I`ll wait for that.
I read 210k US. I am in Canada so that puts it close to 250K. Thats Huracan sport McLaren used 720 or 488 territory. Tough sledding. Just like NSX. A little overpriced. Hopefully that means itll depreciate like a stone like all other Masers
its gorgeous! love how small it looks. i like normally opening doors but can look past that for this. has to be $200k for these looks and 600hp. will be interesting comparison to c8 z06 that will be much heavier, bigger, and not nearly as beautiful. might be a nice retirement present to myself in few years.
Really like the new colors for the MC20: Bianco Audace, Giallo Genio, Rosso Vincente, Blu Infinito, Nero Enigma and Grigio Mistero.
Its bigger dimesionaly than a lambo Hurrucane and weights 3300lbs Dry. Looks nice on the exterior interior ho hum. It has a CF tub so its stiff but really breaks no new ground. At 3300lbs dry will it weigh much less than a C8 z06 and is it really much smaller. Seems like its a R8 570 cometitor. Cool car, nice looking but along way from a TTv6 weighing in at Cayman weight, that would be something. Compters in it monitor evrythifgn inclkudign where you go. Its a zooty GT car so far. But were seeing the comfort version, when they make a lightweight trackable version that may really crack the code.
New Maserati MC20 supercar leads Italian brand's revival 621bhp V6 McLaren rival will also spawn convertible, motorsport and electric variants by James Attwood 9 September 2020 Follow @@Atters_J Maserati has revealed the MC20 supercar, which will spearhead a bold multi-billion pound revival plan for the historic Italian marque that includes a return to its performance-focused and racing roots. Initially being sold with a mid-mounted 621bhp V6, the new halo model will also offer electric power in the future. Convertible and motorsport versions are also on the cards. The MC20 is the first supercar that Maserati has produced since the limited-run MC12 two-seater it launched in 2004. While that model was essentially a reworked Ferrari Enzo, the MC20 marks Maserati’s return to producing its very own sports cars, after parent company Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) sold its stake in Ferrari back in 2016. The sale of the Maranello firm meant that Maserati became FCA’s flagship premium performance brand. FCA bosses have radically revamped the previously announced product plan for Maserati, approving a bold model line-up overhaul with a target to triple sales within three years with 13 new products and updates to three existing cars. All new models will be electrified from this point on, confirmed chief operating officer Davide Grasso at the MC20's unveiling, adding that the brand is developing Level 3 autonomous capability for future cars. "The MC20 is more than a Supercar. It’s set the cornerstone to build Maserati for the future," Grasso added. Priced from £187,230 and arriving in the UK in the second quarter of 2021, the MC20 is designed to signify Maserati’s ‘new era’ by restoring its reputation for producing high-end supercars, boosting the prestige of its saloons and SUVs. It will also return Maserati to motorsport, although the company has yet to outline its plans in this area. Following the overhaul of Maserati’s product plan, the MC20 was designed at the firm’s Modena base in around 24 months. It has direct design links to its MC12 predecessor, and Maserati claims that it’s also intended to reflect the brand’s history “with all the elegance, performance and comfort integral to its genetic make-up.” However, the key design focus was on optimising performance. The MC20 was designed for maximum aerodynamic efficiency, with more than 2000 man-hours spent using Dallara’s wind tunnel and more than 1000 fluid dynamics simulations conducted. This enabled the MC20’s designers to minimise the use of aerodynamic appendages, aside from a small downforce-generating rear spoiler, and resulted in a drag coefficient of 0.38Cd. Maserati says engineers from its Innovation Lab and powertrain specialists were involved in the project from the beginning, emphasising the focus on performance as well as design. In recent years, Maserati has relied heavily on Ferrari technology, in particular for engines and powertrains. But with Ferrari no longer part of the FCA portfolio, Maserati has returned to producing its own engines, and the MC20 arrives with the first powertrain it has produced in-house in more than 20 years. Named Nettuno (Neptune), in reference to the Roman god who inspired Maserati’s trident logo, the 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged petrol V6, developed at the new Maserati Engine Lab in Modena, produces 621bhp at 7500rpm and 538lb ft of torque from 3000-5500rpm. It also features the new Maserati Twin Combustion twin-spark ignition system and in the MC20 gets official fuel economy of 24.3mpg and CO2 emissions of 262g/km. Power is delivered to the rear wheels though an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox and a self-locking mechanical limited-slip differential at the rear. An electronic diff is optional. Five driving modes are on offer: GT, Wet, Sport, Corsa and ESC Off, which shuts down every control function. The MC20 makes extensive use of carbonfibre and other lightweight materials, resulting in a claimed kerb weight of less than 1500kg, giving it a power-to-weight ratio of more than 414bhp per tonne. That ratio enables a 0-62mph sprint of quicker than 2.9sec, with 0-124mph taking 8.8sec. Top speed is claimed to exceed 202mph. The MC20 features double-wishbone suspension all round and makes use of a virtual steering axle at both the front and the rear. It sits on 20in tyres, while there are ventilated 380x34mm six-piston Brembo brakes at the front and four-piston 350x27mm items at the rear. The early work on the MC20’s driving dynamics was undertaking using Maserati’s Virtual Vehicles Dynamics Development simulation software, which was developed by its Innovation Lab. Maserati said it used the system for 97% of dynamic tests, optimising the relatively short time before the final tuning was conducted with extensive road and track running in prototype form. The MC20 is 1965mm wide, 1221mm tall and 4669mm long, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. The two-seat interior is accessed through butterfly doors that Maserati chose because they give easy access and improve ergonomics. The cabin takes a minimalist design to reduce distractions for the driver. There’s a 10in digital instrument display and a 10in screen for the multimedia system, while the carbonfibre-covered central console features only the driving mode selector, a wireless smartphone holder, infotainment controls and a small number of other features. All of the key controls are located on the steering wheel, with dedicated ignition and launch control buttons. The MC20 has a 100-litre boot, which is supplemented by a 50-litre secondary storage compartment at the front. The MC20 will be built at Maserati’s historic Viale Ciro Menotti plant in Modena, on a new production line at the site previously used to build the Granturismo and Grancabrio. The supercar’s production launch is scheduled for the end of this year, and Maserati is already accepting orders. It will cost £187,230 in the UK when dfeliveries start in the second quarter of 2021. UK-bound cars will come in right-hand drive, and will feature carbon ceramic brakes as standard. Maserati has confirmed that the MC20 has been designed to allow for a convertible variant, which Autocar understands is due next year. Significantly, it also says that the MC20 is designed “for full electric power”, with the full electric variant schedule to arrive in 2022. Maserati has declined to comment on the performance of the EV, but it is understood that it will offer performance close to the V6 version. Maserati will offer electrified hybrid or full electric versions of all its future models, a vital step in helping FCA to meet ever-stricter EU emissions targets.
The pics were deceiving and as it's loosely based on the Alfa 4C, I thought it was much smaller and lighter. A bit disappointed in that respect. Also the price is on McLaren or Ferrari territory. Cool car anyway, but I don't know if it offers anything really different.
But more colors would be good. These colors are too common IMH. Hope they also establish a kind of "Tailor Made" like Ferrari...
Would be nice to see someone paint the black parts blue for a MC12 tribute. Image Unavailable, Please Login
absolutely incredible, they really should offer this as a factory option. a few people i've shown this photo to are already saying if they get a car they'll be doing exactly that.
Website does not show the optional rear transaxle and also the better brake option on the rear wheels. Furthermore they should combine everything they have with the price(s).
