2025 Maserati MC20 Tributo Modenese

Celebrating its 110th anniversary since it was established in Bologna, Maserati has unveiled its new unique car, the MC20 Tributo Modenese. With this car, which will debut at Monterey Car Week, the Italian manufacturer also pays tribute to the city of Modena, where the headquarters are located today.

The MC20 Tributo Modenese is the work of Fuoriserie, the Maserati personalization program, that allows you to create one-of-a-kind Maserati cars, styled by you. The car has a black and blue body, with yellow details, as well as a graphic on the hood representing the trident, Maserati’s trademark. There are also black rims behind which are hidden contrasting yellow brake calipers.

At Monterey Car Week, which will be held from August 9 to 18, Maserati will also display the MC20 Icona, MC20 Cielo and an all-new super sports car, which will be inspired by the GT2 racing car. In the previously published teaser, you can see the openings on the front fenders, a carbon splitter and a motorsport-inspired hood.

Maserati has not announced which engine will power the MC20 Tributo Modenese. The standard 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).

Stellantis will not sell Maserati

In a recent interview with Reuters, Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares said that the company cannot afford to have brands that are not profitable. This means that some of the 14 brands that are part of the Stellantis group could soon be sold or shut down. One of those who were in a difficult position is Maserati, but Stellantis said that Maserati will stay.

This way of thinking in the company is not surprising since the business results in the first half of the year are devastating. Since the beginning of the year, Stellantis shares have fallen by over 20%, net revenues are down 14 percent, and net profit is down 48 percent. Also, operating income fell by 40 percent. The reason is bad sales results in North America, where 18 percent fewer vehicles were delivered in the first six months than in the same period in 2023.

At the moment, Maserati offers eight models (Grecale, Levante, Ghibli, Quattroporte, GranTurismo, GranCabrio, MC20 and MC20 Cielo), and the Grecale and GranCabrio SUVs are also available as fully electric.

Also, Lancia and DS have the best chance of being shut down in the near future, while Fiat, Opel, Peugeot, Citroen, Jeep and Ram have no reason to worry.

Maserati MC20 Icona and MC20 Leggenda

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.
