Carbon fiber manufacturer specialized in the design and manufacture of carbon fiber body kits for high-end sports cars, 7Design, has revealed the Maserati MC20 Aria Silver Surfer.
The car is based on the Maserati MC20 Cielo, and is equipped with the V2 Aria carbon package, which includes a front splitter, side skirts, rear diffuser, roof scoop, rear spoiler (or V2 Wing), hood vent inserts, canards, lightweight forged wheels, and a carbon boomerang. vents.
The MC20 Aria Silver Surfer was developed in a simulated wind tunnel and is very functional, as it creates an additional 360 kilograms of downforce at a speed of 322 km/h.
When it comes to the powertrain, the car is powered by a 3.0-liter V6 twin-turbo engine with 630 hp (470 kW) and 538 lb-ft (729 Nm) of torque. That’s enough power to propel the car from 0 – 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds with a top speed of over 320 km/h (199 mph). For those who want more power, 7Design also offers an aftermarket exhaust system that brings an additional 28 hp.
DMC has equipped the Maserati MC20 with a carbon body, modified suspension and springs that bring the car an additional 30 mm closer to the ground, openings on the front fenders, a large rear wing and additional openings for better engine cooling, and a set of black 20 and 21-inch aluminum rims made by PUR Wheels.
When it comes to propulsion, the upgraded Maserati MC20 is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter Nettuno V6 engine with 714 hp (525 kW) and 645 lb-ft (875 Nm) of torque. That’s a significant increase in power considering that the standard MC20 has 621 hp (457 kW) and 538 lb-ft (729 Nm) of torque. The engine is paired with an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission and reaches 62 mph in 2.9 seconds with a top speed of 201 mph (323 km/h).
The MC20 Cielo is powered by a 3.0-liter Nettuno V6 engine, which also powers the MC20 Coupe, with 621 hp (457 kW) and 538 lb-ft (730 Nm) of torque. The engine is mated to an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission. It hits 62 mph in about 3 seconds, which is almost the same as the MC20 Coupe which reaches the same speed in 3.2 seconds. The company claims that the top speed this supercar can reach is 320 km/h.
In 2020, Maserati introduced the MX20 coupe and now the long-awaited convertible called the MC20 Cielo has been unveiled. The cars represent the next iteration of Maserati’s new supercar, and hopefully it won’t be the last.
At first glance, the MC20 Cielo is not much different from the MX20. The stylized rear vents were removed and replaced with a matte sticker, and Maserati also had to relocate the engine air intakes although the coupe door design was retained. There is also more space for a folding roof. Some improvements that are part of the 2023 MC20 coupe are also presented, such as details in the interior, but also additional safety technologies. These include an automatic emergency braking system, a traffic sign recognition system and a 360 camera.
The MC20 will be powered by a 3.0-liter Nettuno V6 engine, which also powers the MC20 Coupe, with 621 hp (457 kW) and 538 lb-ft (730 Nm) of torque. The engine is paired with an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission. It will reach 62 mph in about 3 seconds which is almost the same as the MC20 Coupe reaching the same speed in 3.2 seconds. The company claims that the top speed that this supercar can reach is 199 mph (320 km / h).
Maserati offers three variants of carbon monocoque chassis for each of its models. The Coupe chassis is made with a focus on weight and performance, while the design of the Cielo monocoque chassis is focused on greater rigidity, so the MC20 Cielo is 65 kg heavier than the MC20 coupe. The car is equipped with a folding roof that can be folded in 12 seconds, and which contains a chromatic glass panel that instantly turns from transparent to opaque thanks to liquid crystals (PDLC). Maserati claims that this is the largest glass panel in the segment. There are also new “double X” design rims, as well as carbon rims that are 30 kg lighter.
Also, the limited PrimaSerie Launch Edition in Aquamarine body color will be presented soon. The interior will be upholstered in Alcantara and light leather. The car will be decorated with PrimaSerie inscription on the headrests, but also on matte black 20-inch wheels, with markings that have a specific finish. Only 60 copies of this car will be produced.
