He tips the scale at a claimed 1,470 kg.
MC20 stands for “Maserati Corse 2020”.
Three configurations are planned: this coupe, a convertible version and an electric one.
In the standard coupe, the V6 generates 463 kW.
Maserati claims a top speed of over 325 km / h.
It will be built in Modena.
The chassis is made of carbon fiber and composites.

The new Maserati MC20 has finally been revealed, with the mid-engined supercar heralded as the beginning of a “new era for the Trident brand.”
As the company has already revealed, power will come from a new 3.0-liter V6 biturbo petrol engine (called “Nettuno”), which generates 463 kW at 7500 r / min and 730 Nm from 3000 r / min to 5500 r / min. Maserati says that this engine, which weighs less than 220 kg and accelerates to 8,000 rpm, is the “most powerful six-cylinder engine in production.”
The result, according to the Italian firm, is a sprint from zero to 100 km / h in “less than 3.0 seconds” and a top speed of more than 325 km / h. How long does it take to reach 200 km / h? Well, Maserati lists a figure of “under 8.8 seconds.” The transmission is directed to the rear axle via an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission (in oil bath). The top two gears function as overdrive gears to “ensure emissions compliance.”
Interestingly, the Modena-based brand has also confirmed that a battery-electric version of the MC20 two-seater is on the cards for 2022, which will feature a range of “more than 380 km”, a top speed of more than 310 km / h. . , a 0-100 km / h time of 2.8 seconds and a 0-200 km / h sprint of 8.4 seconds. A convertible model is also planned.
Maserati says the new MC20 is lighter than its competitors, tipping the scales at 1,470kg thanks in part to a chassis made entirely of carbon fiber and composites. Plus, it features all sorts of nifty aerodynamic tricks and a frameless digital rearview mirror powered by video from a rear camera. Inside, you’ll also find a digital instrument cluster and a center display, each measuring 10.25 inches.
The MC20 will ship as standard with four riding modes: wet, GT, sporty, and corsa. The default GT mode sees the exhaust valves open only above 5,000 r / min, with the various controls and suspension set to normal. Wet mode offers the “highest level of control on wet or damp roads,” while Sport mode increases throttle sensitivity, opens exhaust valves at 3500 rpm, stiffens suspension, sharpens gearbox and loosens the traction babysitters.
And the Corsican way? Well, this scenario offers what Maserati describes as the “most extreme experience.” Traction control is “much less active,” engine boost is tuned to maximum, throttle becomes even more responsive, and exhaust valves are open throughout the rev range. Here, the gear stick and suspension are also set to “race”, and the launch control function is available.
The new MC20 is scheduled to arrive in South Africa in “early 2021”.
