MASERATI has rebirthed its two-year-old MC20 supercar, revealing a 50-run ‘Notte’ particular version centred round a ‘darkness’ design theme.
The MC20 Notte is being touted “a fierce creature of the nocturnal world” by Maserati, providing Bat Cellaesthetics albeit extra seen with distinct glow-in-the-dark magnetic matte ‘nero essenza’ paint.
Distinctive options of the Notte Version embrace the lairish paint, matching 20-inch matte black ‘birdcage’ wheels, and white gold accents on the trident badge up entrance.
Inside, black and gray Alcantara with yellow stitching covers the six-way adjustable seats, sport steering wheel and lashings of carbon fibre add much more aptitude to the restricted run MC20.
Sparked by the magical and intense energy of darkness, or so Maserati says, the Notte was a design collaboration between the Maserati Fuoriserie group and former GT1 world champion Andrea Bertollino.
“Fuoriserie means ‘custom-built’ in Italian, and our Trident’s customisation program is conceived to create one-of-a-kind rolling sculptures for our shoppers,” mentioned Maserati head of design, Klaus Busse.
“MC20 Notte celebrates the fun of racing and the attract of the evening combining supreme efficiency and Italian magnificence with a contact of thriller of the nocturnal world.
“It’s the first Fuoriserie restricted version of MC20 and it’s devoted to tremendous sportscar collectors and observe fanatics.”
Whereas there are not any efficiency upgrades for the Notte, the savagely highly effective 3.0-litre V6 produces the identical tyre torturing 470kW/730Nm, driving the rear wheels solely, good for a 2.9-second run to 100km/h.
The F1-derived engine, dubbed the Nettuno, is a 90-degree V6 with race-proven options like pre-chamber combustion, twin-injection (direct and oblique), dry sump and 11:1 compression ratio, good for 8000rpm.
Maserati managed to squeeze a staggering 207hp/litre out of the Nettuno engine, whereas nonetheless assembly Euro 6D emissions requirements, which when coupled with a car weight of simply 1500kg makes for a particularly fast machine.
The ultra-lightweight carbon-fibre monocoque chassis weighs simply 100kg, whereas carbon fibre additionally makes its method into the inside in a bid to maintain kerb weight as little as attainable.
To have a good time the launch of the extremely unique particular version, Maserati introduced collectively model ambassador David Beckham and Andrea Bertolini in a ‘Race the Night time’ quick movie celebrating the MC20 Notte.
Whereas no pricing particulars have been shared, Maserati says MC20 Notte might be “accessible worldwide”, suggesting a handful of examples will doubtless make their method into the garages of supercar-hungry Australians.
The usual MC20 is priced from a steep $438,000 earlier than ORCs but it was snapped up shortly by Australian consumers on the time of launch, so we will safely assume the particular version Notte may tip the half-a-million-dollar mark.
