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.

Maserati MC20 Cielo with better aerodynamics and more power

In 2022, the Bavarian tuner Novitec presented a series of carbon components for the Maserati MC20 coupe, and now it does the same for the MC20 Cielo, giving the car a thrilling and individual appearance.

A special equipment package includes naked-carbon aerodynamic components such as a splitter, intake, hood vents and a ducktail rear spoiler. All of this can be combined with various exhaust upgrades including the system in the photos, which uses ultra-lightweight Inconel and optional gold accents. There are also yellow sport springs on offer that can bring the floor closer to the ground by 25 mm, and are compatible with the car’s factory front lift system. Also, customers can choose aluminum spacers for 28 or 40 mm wider wheel tracks on both axles.

When it comes to the interior, Novitec fulfills individual customer requests with exclusive interior appointments tailored to the wishes of the vehicle owner in every detail.

Under the bonnet is a 3.0-L V6 Nettuno twin-turbo engine with 711 hp (530 kW) and 603 lb-ft (818 Nm) of torque, which is 80 hp (59 kW) and 65 lb-ft (88 Nm) more than the standard model. The increase in power was achieved thanks to the N-Tronic module and the high-performance exhaust system, so now the MC20 Cielo accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.8 seconds (0.2 seconds faster) with a top speed of 325 km/h (202 mph).

Novitec also offers a set of 21-inch NF11 forged rims produced in cooperation with the American company Vossen.
