MASERATI MC20 ; THE MID-ENGINE SUPERCAR?
|
After more than 20 years maserati is finally developing a car that doesn't have a ferrari engine and this gives maserati some room to make the fastest cars on the planet or maybe the most unreliable cars on the planet as seen in the past. So not having ferrari as a part of maserati could be good and bad. in the past 5 years maserati wasn't all that successful. Since the debut of the grand turismo sport car in 2011 maserati hasn't done much to make it line up more fun and cool , just like how maserati's were back than.

Maserati is coming back to the market strongly with the mc20 supercar or the maserati corsa 2020 as the meaning of the name. First of all it's sleek small supercar or sport car either you want to call it but with falcon doors that go up i want to call this a supercar. Maserati hasn't announced the price of the mc20 yet but you at least need to pay $200,000 for the base model which is actually not all that bad. From the exterior to the interior to the engine and the verdict this is our mc20 special.

EXTERIOR |

Let's start our tour from the exterior. First of all we have the front bumper which looks the same as other maserati models with the famous maserati grill. Going up a little , you start to see some design elements borrowed from the last maserati supercar before the mc20 was born ; the mc12. If you are not familiar with mc12 supercar , it was a rebadged version of the legendary ferrari enzo and now that maserati is making a new supercar, they borrowed some design elements from their other supercar which makes up the mc20.

Here at the side profile we have a very pure and classic maserati look from the side view. It's hard to found hard lines and aggressive looks it's very pure and alegent. Maserati has selected these nice looking wheels for the mc20 too. You also get big brakes. and of course to give the fainall salt to the mc20 maserati has placed the pure italian maserati for the final touches.

At rear things aren't nice as the front. I don't know why car designers could not make a car look nice at rear view. That's the same for the mc20 which has this big black panele covering pretty much %80 of the bumper. This bumper includes rear fog lights dual exhaust tips and a mid-size rear diffuser and all of these goody's are finished in this ugly black which looks like it's from a subaru. but other than that you also get this nice looking LED rear tailligts and a rear glass so you could see the gellorius engine

INTERIOR
Maserati is not the best in class when it comes to interior. They usually make interiors that are lighter to save some width on the track. So there is a lot of carbon fiber inside there. A very nice carbon fiber steering wheel is the place that you mostly touch. But still even with all of this weight savings you still get a pretty big touch screen infotainment system as standard.
ENGENE
We think that the engine is the most important part of this car since it's the very first maserati in 20 years to have a maserati engine. Maserati has planes to give to mc20 an full electric engine option right after the mc20 goes on sale which is probably by the summer of 2021. But for now the mc20 have only 1 engine and it's 3.0 Liter twin turbo V6 engine that makes 621 horsepower and 538 lb-ft which are all nice high numbers.

Maserati has done a lot to make this hypercar happen. But still i think that they could have made this car a lot more crazy just like how supercar should be like but at same time i really love the pure design of this car and the powerful V6 that it has are all together me giving this car 4 out 5 for the final verdict.
