Maserati MC20 on the Nürburgring Nordschleife

The German magazine Sport Auto tested another supercar on the most famous Nürburgring Nordschleife race track, and this time it’s the Maserati MC20. Journalist, racer and test driver Christian Gebhardt tried his best to set the fastest lap time, but failed.

Maserati MC20 is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 Nettuno engine with 621 hp (463 kW) and 538 lb-ft (729 Nm) of torque. The engine is paired with an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission that sends power to the rear axle. It reaches 62 mph in 2.9 seconds with a top speed of 201 mph (323 km / h). It is mounted on Bridgestone Potenza Sport tires.

The Maserati MC20 completed the 20,830 km (12,943 mi) long course in 7 minutes and 25.26 seconds, two seconds faster than the time achieved by the Ferrari 812 Superfast. It was also a second slower than the two-seater Maserati MC12 supercar that clocked a lap time of 7:24.29 nearly two decades ago. But considering the fact that the car wasn’t developed on the Nordschleife, it was a respectable lap time!

2024 Maserati MC20 Notte

Since 2021 when Maserati premiered the MC20, the Italian automaker has not released a new version of this model until now. This is a special limited edition super sports two-seater based on the Coupé version, the Maserati MC20 Notte.

The Maserati Notte is powered by a centrally located twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter Nettuno engine with 621 hp and 538 lb-ft (729 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a Tremec 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. It reaches 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.85 seconds with a top speed of 325 km/h (202 mph). It is mounted on a set of specially designed 20-inch wheels.

This car will be produced in only 50 examples finished in gloss black over a dark interior trimmed in leather and alcantara with carbon elements. Black and gray sports seats with yellow stitching and a Maserati logo on the headrest, a semi-carbon steering wheel, and a “UNA DI 50” plate located in the background between the seats, decorate the interior of this unique car.

According to a recent statement by Alfa production director Daniel Guzzafame, this was originally planned to be Alfa Romeo’s super sports car, but it wasn’t. The car presentation was attended by Maserati test driver Andrea Bertolini.

Maserati MC20 with 720 HP

At the beginning of the year, Maserati revealed the new generation of the MC20 model. It is a powerful super sports car that attracts attention at first glance. However, there are many who strive to make it more powerful and better, like tuner Mansory.

Mansory has prepared many new carbon components for the exterior of the MC20 model, such as a front mask with larger openings, a hood with ventilated parts, fenders, a larger spoiler, a massive diffuser, a 4-pipe exhaust system with a powerful sound, and wheel arches made of pure carbon.

Inside, the interior is offered in three color tones: yellow, white and black. The seats are covered in leather with the national colors of Italy on the central part of the seats and the headliner. Leather also covers the door panels, dashboard, and steering wheel.

Under the hood is a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 with 720 hp (530 kW) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of torque. That’s a significant increase in power compared to the standard model, which has 621 hp (457 kW) and 538 lb-ft (729 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via an 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox. It reaches 62 mph (100 km/h) in 2.7 seconds with a top speed of 330 km/h (205 mph). It is mounted on 21 and 22 inch “FV 5” rims wrapped in 255/30 R21 (front) and 335/25 R22 (rear) tires.
