For the 20th anniversary of the MC12, Maserati revealed two special edition MC20 models, the Maserati MC20 Icona and the MC20 Leggenda. Both models are decorated with special liveries from the Maserati Fuoriserie program, and each model will be produced in 20 copies.

The Maserati MC20 Leggenda pays tribute to the MC12 GT1 racing car from the Vitaphone Racing team. It is an important model for the brand as it has achieved several wins and two second places in the 24 Hours of Spa endurance race. It is finished in Nero Essenza black with Digital Mint Matte color and bright yellow details. The rims are painted in two shades of black (Nero Lucido and Nero Opaco), while the brake calipers are in Digital Mint and black.

The Maserati MC20 Icona is finished in a combination of Bianco Audace Matte and Blue Stradale with blue lines in the lower part, paying homage to the original MC12 Stradale model. Maserati also added the Italian flag just below the MC20 badge on the profile, the hood is made of carbon fiber, while the mirrors have an auto-dimming function. It is equipped with chrome rims and blue brake calipers.

The interior is equipped with monocoque racing seats with the model name imported into the headrest, a Sonus Faber sound system, several ADAS systems, a nose lift function and a carbon package. The Icona has black and blue upholstery, while the Legend model received a darker Nero black configuration.

The Italian company has not released information about the powertrain and price.

Cadillac released photos of the mysterious Coupe

June 21, 2024 Francis Mitterrand Leave a comment

In 2018, rumors began about a new Cadillac coupe that was revealed thanks to a design patent, but there was no announcement from the company. At least not until now when his appearance was revealed on Instagram.

As a part “From the Vault” (GM Design series), the car mixes elements of the Escala concept with more modern design elements. The result is one of the best cars from GM since the Buick Avista concept. “The coupe was born as an internal exploration of Cadillac’s aesthetic and shaped the portfolio of models on the road today, including the CT5 and CT5 V-Blackwing,” the company said.

Unlike the CT5, this Coupe has a new front fascia with thin headlights, muscular intakes and a wide grille, a sculpted hood and bright trim, while the rear design is standard for Cadillac cars.

The interior is equipped with leather-trimmed seats with fancy seat belts, a rotary shifter controller, and metal speaker covers and wood accents.

This concept never went into production, and it’s not certain that it ever will because Cadillac has since given up on the Coupe.

Paul Walker’s 1969 Chevrolet Camaro RS Z/28 is up for auction

June 20, 2024 Francis Mitterrand Leave a comment

More than a decade ago, Paul Walker, star of the “Fast & Furious” movie series, died in a car accident near Los Angeles. He was a car enthusiast and worked with his friend on the restoration of several cars, including the 1969 Chevrolet Camaro RS Z/28, which will be auctioned in August.

This Camaro RS Z/28 is a completed Walker project and is an ideal opportunity for fans of this model to restore the car as they like. The car requires a lot of work to bring it back to its original condition. The body of the car is not in bad condition and it should be noted that it left the factory in Le Mans blue, which is almost invisible on the car. There are also original Z/28 Rally rims wrapped in BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires.

The interior is not in bad condition considering its age. The upholstery on the seats does not look bad, as do the black plastic and wooden details on the central console. The odometer shows 22,639 miles.

Collectors will appreciate the fact that it is still powered by the original 302 CI V-8 engine mated to a 4-speed manual transmission that sends power to the rear wheels.

The car was purchased by Chevrolet collector Merle Duprey in 1982, later purchased by Walker and Rodas, then sold back to Duprey in 2013, before finally being purchased by Solo Speed Shop.
