Maserati Unveils Super Sports Car 'MC20'... Domestic Launch Scheduled for Next Year

[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] Maserati declared its return to the racing world by unveiling the new super sports car ‘MC20’ to the global audience through an online launch event held on the 9th (local time) in Modena, Italy.

The newly revealed MC20 is a symbolic model of Maserati, developed by the Maserati Innovation Lab, which uses a self-developed design simulator. The development involved top artisans and experts in various fields such as powertrain and interior/exterior design.

In particular, the new V6 3.0-liter ‘Nettuno’ engine, designed and produced by Maserati, delivers powerful performance with a maximum output of 630 horsepower, peak torque of 74.4 Kg.m, 0-100 km/h acceleration in 2.9 seconds, and a top speed of 325 km/h. Maserati has regained its own powertrain after more than 20 years of hiatus.

Additionally, through over 2,000 hours of testing and more than 1,000 fluid dynamics simulations at Dallara’s wind tunnel laboratory, an aerodynamic drag coefficient of 0.38 was achieved. The chassis is designed with high-quality carbon fiber material, resulting in a curb weight of 1,500 kg. Thanks to this, the power-to-weight ratio is an industry-leading 2.33 kg per horsepower.

The exterior design features butterfly doors that open upwards, providing convenience for passengers when entering and exiting, while also excelling in design, combining practicality and aesthetic elements simultaneously. The interior is designed simply without sharp edges, allowing the driver to fully concentrate on driving.

The production also carries historical significance. It is 100% produced on a new line set up at the Viale Ciro Menotti factory in Modena, Italy, where Maserati vehicles have been manufactured for over 80 years. Pre-orders will begin on September 9, and deliveries to customers are scheduled to start by the end of this year. The model is expected to be released domestically next year.
