Maserati MC20 Debuts With 621 HP Twin-Turbo V6 And EV Option, Starts At $210,000
Following a lengthy teaser campaign and a coronavirus related delay, Maserati has finally taken the wraps off the all-new MC20. Billed as a “super sports car” that is the natural evolution of the Ferrari-based MC12, the MC20 promises to mark the beginning of a new era for Maserati. That’s more than just marketing hyperbole as the MC20 features an all-new, twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 engine which is billed as “100% Maserati.” It features a dual injection system as well as an F1-inspired pre-chamber combustion system with twin-spark plugs. This helps to enable the engine to produce 621 hp (463 kW / 630 PS) and 538 lb-ft (730 Nm) of torque. The engine is connected to an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission which sends power to the rear wheels via a limited slip differential. This enables the car to accelerate from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in less than 2.9 seconds, before hitting a top speed in excess of 202 mph (325 km/h). Customers will also be able to order an electric powertrain. T...
