November 10, 2023 Francis Mitterrand

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.

April 24, 2023 Francis Mitterrand

At Auto Shanghai, which takes place from Apr 18, 2023 – Apr 27, 2023, Maserati revealed a powerful all-electric SUV with a respectable range, the Maserati Grecale Folgore.

The car has better aerodynamics and is equipped with air suspension, illuminated side vents, a new front fascia inspired by the Trofeo model with a grille that is partially closed, a new diffuser, copper brake calipers and copper badges. Buyers can also get the exclusive Rame Folgore package for the exterior, in which case “warm copper tones coexist in the sun with cooler shades of bluish gray in the shadow areas.”

Inside, the seats with 14 adjustment modes and a heating and ventilation system are covered with Econyl (regenerated nylon made from waste such as fishing nets, scraps of fabric and carpets. It has the same high quality as virgin nylon, without the traditional process of deriving it from oil). The details on the dashboard, as well as the carbon 3D details on the center console and door panels are matched with the seats. The driver has at his disposal a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, as well as a 12.3-inch infotainment with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay systems and Intelligent Assistant, as well as an 8.8-inch lower screen and head-up display.

The Maserati Grecale Folgore is powered by two electric motors with a total power of 550 hp (410 kW) and 605 lb-ft (820 Nm) of torque. It is equipped with a 105 kwh battery that enables a range of 500 km, and 400V technology that supports 150 kW DC fast charging. The battery is charged from 20 to 80 percent capacity in 29 minutes. The driver can choose between three driving modes: GT, Sport, Off-Road and Max Range. It reaches 62 mph (100 km/h) in 4.1 seconds with a top speed of 220 km/h.

Mostro Barchetta Zagato

June 1, 2022 M.K.

Recently, Maserati introduced its long-awaited convertible called the MC20 Cielo. The cars represent the next iteration of Maserati’s new supercar. However, for fans of retro design, the Italian company Zagato presented the Mostro Barchetta Zagato Powered by Maserati.

The cooperation between Zagato and Maserati started back in 1931, and this elegant convertible was inspired by the 1957 model, Materati 450S, but without sharp edges. It is equipped with a curved windshield in front of which is a long hood combined with an oval-shaped radiator grille, while the roof gives a comfortable interior.

When it comes to powertrain, Zagato offers two types of engines. For those who love the V8 engine there is a 4.2-liter naturally aspirated with 414 hp (304 kW) paired with a 6-speed manual sequential transmission. Second on offer is the 3.0-liter Nettuno V6 engine with 621 hp (457 kW) and 538 lb-ft (730 Nm) of torque. The same engine is used by the Maserati MC20 Cielo. The engine is paired with an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission. It will reach 62 mph in about 3 seconds with a top speed of 199 mph (320 km / h). It is mounted on 19-inch wheels wrapped in 255/40 R19 (front) and 295/35 R19 (rear) tires.
