MC20 marks the beginning of the new era of Maserati
The new Maserati supercar is a worthy successor to the MC12
A with racing DNA
100% manufactured in Modena and 100% manufactured in Italy
MODENA, Italy, Sept. 9, 2020 / PRNewswire / – Maserati enters the new era with the MC20, the new supercar that combines performance, sportiness and luxury in the exclusive taste of Maserati. the “MMXX: Time to be bold” event.
The new MC20 (MC for Maserati Corse and 20 for 2020, the year of its world premiere and the beginning of the brand’s new era) is the Maserati everyone has been waiting for. It is a car with aerodynamic efficiency, which hides a sporty soul, with the new Nettuno engine, a 621 horsepower V6 with a torque of 730 Nm (538 lb-ft) that delivers acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h in minus 2. 9 seconds (0 – 60 miles in less than 2. 9 seconds) and a more sensitive speed of more than 325 km consistent with time (202 miles consistent with time). An engine that marks Maserati’s return to generating its own powertrains after a hiatus of more than 20 years.
The MC20 is an incredibly smooth car with less than 1,500 kg / 3,306 lb (empty weight) and with its power of 621 hp is best in its class in power-to-weight ratio, with only 2. 33 kg / hp (5. 3 lb / hp)). This record is achieved through the use of premium materials, taking advantage of all the perspectives of the car’s carbon fiber sacrificing comfort.
Nettuno, the first engine of this new bankruptcy in the history of Trident, is the V6 biturbo of the MC20, a technological gem that has already received a patent, which puts MTC (Maserati Twin Combustion) technology, the revolutionary combustion formula evolved into your home, on the roads of the world.
Overall, this revolutionary mission has resulted in a car that embodies Italian excellence. In fact, the MC20 was designed in Modena and will be built at the Viale Ciro Menotti factory, where Trident models have been manufactured for more than 80 years. The new production line, created in the spaces where the GranTurismo and GranCabrio models were assembled until November 2019, is now ready to operate in the historic factory. The site also offers a new paint shop that incorporates state-of-the-art and environmentally friendly technologies. Nettuno will also be built in Modena, in the new Maserati Engine Laboratory.
The DESIGN of the MC20 ended in about 24 months, with the participation from the beginning, in a cutting-edge approach, of a team of engineers from the Maserati Innovation Lab, technical specialists from the Maserati Engine Lab and designers of the Maserati Style Center.
The Virtual Vehicle Dynamics Development System, which includes the use of one of the world’s most complex dynamic simulators, was developed internally through the Maserati Innovation Laboratory and is based on a complex mathematical style called Virtual Car. This approach made it imaginable to perform 97% of dynamic checks by car, optimizing progression times. The car was then subtle in Maserati’s ultimate productive culture with extensive track and road control sessions in maximum use situations.
The guiding theme of the MC20’s design is the historical identity of the brand, with all the elegance, functionality and convenience that are integral to its genetic makeup. The emphasis on functionality has led to designing a car with a distinct personality, with an unmistakable bureaucracy that makes it unique.
Gullwing doors are not only incredibly beautiful, but they are also functional, providing the ergonomics of the car and allowing optimal access to and from the cabin.
The aerodynamics were designed over two thousand man-hours in the Dallara wind tunnel and over a thousand CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulations, making it possible to create true art paintings. The resulting car is sleek, with no moving appendages, but only a discreet rear wing that improves downforce without detracting from the good looks of the MC20. The CX is below 0. 38.
The MC20 is designed to allow coupe and convertible versions and for full electric power.
Once inside the cabin, the driving force is in the middle and nothing deserves to distract you from the sporty driving experience. Each component has a goal and is absolutely pilot oriented. Simple shapes, very few sharp edges, and minimal distractions. There are two 10-inch screens: one for the cockpit and the other for the Maserati Multimedia System (MIA). Simplicity is also the keyword of the carbon fiber clad center console, with just a few features: the wireless smartphone charger, the driving mode selector (GT, Wet, Sport, Corsa and a fifth, ESC Off, which disables the control functions), two gear variety buttons, force window controls, multimedia formula controls, and a convenient garage compartment under the armrest. All other controls are on the guide wheel, with the power button on the left and the release control on the right.
The new MC20 will be connected to the Maserati Connect program at all times. Full diversity includes Connected Navigation, Alexa, and Wifi Hotspot and can also be controlled via smartphone or Maserati Connect smartwatch app.
For the launch, Maserati also developed six new colors to characterize the MC20: Bianco Audace, Giallo Genio, Rosso Vincente, Blu Infinito, Nero Enigma and Grigio Mistero; each of them has been designed, engineered and evolved exclusively for this car and all convey themes: a strong reference to Made in Italy, Italian identity and land, as well as a reference related to the Maserati tradition.
Both visually and conceptually, there are strong references to the MC12, the car that marked Maserati’s return to racing in 2004. Like its predecessor, the MC20, with its explicitly transparent racing soul of its only name, announces the goal of returning to the racing world.
The production launch is scheduled for the end of the existing year and orders will be accepted as of September 9 after the world premiere.
