You recognize the Maserati MC20, and also you most likely know the racing model, the GT2. It appears these two automobiles are coming collectively for one thing new, however Maserati is not spilling the beans simply but. We’ll have to attend till Monterey Automotive Week—particularly August 16—to see what that is all about.
We do have some attention-grabbing tidbits to share. Maserati calls this machine an evolution of the MC20, going as far as to label it a “tremendous sports activities automotive.” It should presumably pack the efficiency punch of the GT2 right into a street-legal automobile “with out sacrificing the consolation and hallmarks of highway fashions.” A single teaser picture clearly reveals the entrance of the MC20 with the GT2’s fender vents in plain sight. Tweaking the sunshine ranges on the picture would not reveal way more, save for a carbon fiber entrance fascia with a decrease spoiler that is not practically as aggressive as that of the GT2.
If this new automotive is certainly a road-legal GT2, it would the MC20’s eight-speed computerized for a six-speed sequential field. Upgraded suspension and extra aero trickery are just about assured, however what in regards to the engine? The Nettuno V-6 makes 621 horsepower in each the usual MC20 and the GT2, which is definitely gutsy however not essentially “tremendous sports activities automotive” materials. Nevertheless, there’s one other track-only MC20 that makes 730 hp. Keep in mind the MCXtrema? It debuted final yr throughout Monterey Automotive Week. How handy.
No matter Maserati has deliberate, it’ll be a part of the MC20 Icona and the aforementioned MCXtrema on the garden at The Quail. If you wish to synchronize watches, the large debut takes place on August 16 at exactly 9:12 AM Pacific time.
