2023 Maserati GranTurismo Coupé

Maserati will soon introduce the latest generation of the GranTurismo Coupé, which will be powered by an internal combustion engine. The car should appear on the market next year, and the Italian car manufacturer has published photos of the future car.

The new Gran Turismo pays homage to the A6 1500 model that was produced 75 years ago. It will be powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter Nettuno engine with 621 hp 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). Also, the GT GranCabrio will be powered by the same engine, but Maserati did not reveal its performance.

At the beginning of the year, Maserati presented its second crossover Maserati Grecale powered by the same engine that in its most powerful version Trofeo delivers 530hp (390 kW) and 457 lb-ft (620 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to all wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission. According to Maserati, it reaches 60 in 3.6 seconds with a top speed of 177 mph (285 km/h).

Maserati’s plan is to electrify all its cars by the end of the decade. In addition to these models, which will arrive on the market in 2023, Maserati will electrify the Quattroporte, Levante and MC20 models by 2025. The Maserati GranTurismo Folgore should hit the market in 2024, and will be powered by three electric motors that will produce a total of 1,200 hp (883 kW), which is enough to reach 62 mph in 2.6 seconds with a maximum speed of 320 km/h.

Maserati MC20 with 701 HP

Among the many cars on the market, German tuner Novitec sticks to what it knows best, which is upgrading fast supercars. Its latest work is the recently introduced Maserati MC20 with aerodynamic improvements and more power.

Novitec equipped the car with a special equipment kit that includes carbon fiber parts such as new front bumper wings, a larger rear spoiler, front hood inserts, side intakes, a set of new 20 and 21 inch Vossen NF 10 rims, adjustable suspension, sport springs that lower the MC20 for additional 25mm, stainless steel or inconel exhaust system with sport mufflers, 100-cell sport catalysts (optional) and stainless steel or carbon finish 100mm tailpipes.

Inside, the dark interior is adorned with sports seats covered in black leather and Alcantara. The same combination of leather and Alcantara can be seen on the door panels, dashboard and steering wheel. On the central part of the dashboard is a large multimedia screen, while in front of the passenger on the glove box you can see a plate with the inscription “MC 20.”

When it comes to the powertrain, the MC20 is powered by a 3.0l Nettuno V6 engine with 621 hp (457 kW) and 538 lb-ft (730 Nm) of torque. Thanks to two plug-and-play N-TRONIC modules and a new exhaust system, the car now has 701 hp (516 kW) and 603 lb-ft (818 Nm) of torque. Now the MC20 reaches 62 mph in 2.8 seconds, which is 0.1 second faster than the standard model, with a top speed of 202 mph (325 km/h).

2023 Maserati MC20 GT2

After a few days of unveiling the Project24 racing car, Maserati is working hard to return to the Fanatec GT2 European Series Championship. This was confirmed by the presentation of the new car for the next season, the Maserati MC20 GT2.

The car is based on the MC20 model, and will be powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 Nettuno engine with an unknown number of horsepower. As a reminder, the MC20 uses the same engine with 621 hp (457 kW). Power will be sent to the rear wheels via a 6-speed sequential gearbox with a sports clutch and a mechanical self-locking limited-slip differential.

The MC20 GT2 is equipped with a lightweight monocoque chassis, double wishbone suspension with adaptive dampers and anti-roll bars, sports brake calipers and larger ventilated discs. There are also 18-inch central-locking alloy wheels with slick tires, sport mirrors with the Italian flag and enlarged intakes on the more pronounced rear bumpers. At the back there is an adjustable rear wing, as well as a significantly larger rear diffuser and two tailpipes.

Inside, the sports seat is fixed and comes with six-point seat belts. An FIA-certified roll cage, adjustable pedals and a multi-functional carbon handlebar are also there. In addition, the car has a traction control system, adjustable ABS, air conditioning and a data collection system. As an option, Maserati offers a camera on the rear, a camera in the car, a display for adjusting performance, as well as tire pressure monitoring.
