All you need to know about the Maserati MC20 from CAR magazine UK
Maserati MC20 Notte: front three quarter driving, black paintMaserati’s Icona and Leggenda editions of its rather sweet MC20 supercar have been unveiled at Goodwood as the brand celebrates 20 years since it returned to motorsport.
Apart from the stealth fighter paint job, though, the Notte is identical to the standard MC20. That means it’s powered by the company’s twin-turbocharged 3.0-litreV6 engine, which churns out 621bhp and 538lb ft of torque. That’s enough for a 0–62mph time of 2.9 seconds and a top speed of 202mph. If Batman had need for a supercar, we reckon this would be high on his list.
The truth is Maserati needs to be audacious to step out of Ferrari’s shadow. Behind the amazing figures and surprise powertrains, the MC20 is more than a halo car. It’s a rebirth for the brand. All those man-hours have paid off, though – the lack of a massive chav wing has kept the MC20’s styling pure. It looks stunning in the metal, partly because it isn’t entirely obvious how Maserati has tried to prevent it from killing its occupants the first time the car approaches a corner.
You get carbon fibre seats and a thick steering wheel developed by Maserati test driver and former MC 12 racer, Andrea Bertolini. The wheel only has the essentials . That means only basic volume and phone controls, along with a start and launch control button.
