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.

2023 Maserati Grecale Folgore

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.

2006 Maserati MC12 Versione Corse is up for auction

Between 2004 and 2005, Maserati produced 50 examples of the limited edition sports car, the MC12. However, increased customer demand for this model led Maserati to produce an additional 12 cars for the racetrack in 2006. It’s the Maserati MC12 Versione Corsa developed directly from the 2005 FIA GT Manufacturers Cup winner, the MC12 GT1. All 12 cars were sold to selected customers, and one of them, the 2006 Maserati MC12 Versione Corse, is up for auction.

From the very beginning, Maserati fans have considered it the ultimate form of performance. It is powered by a 6.0-Liter DOHC Naturally Aspirated V12 engine with 745 hp (555 kW) at 8,000 rpm, which is 120 hp (90 kW) more than the road going MC12. The car weighs 1,134 kg and reaches 124 mph ( 200 km/h) accelerates in 6.4 seconds with a top speed of 203 mph (326 km/h). Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 6-speed sequential gearbox, while power is sent to the rear wheels.

This car is finished in Blue Victory, has the serial number 003 and is part of a private collection. It is in excellent condition with only 123 miles on the clock. Although it is an extremely rare car, it is interesting that the current owner has never driven it.

Over time three copies of the MC12 Versione Corse have been converted for road use, but this one is not one of them. The auction will take place on January 27 and is expected to reach a price of more than $2 million.

This is a unique opportunity to own a car that is the reigning GT World Champion and without doubt the MC12 Corsa is the ultimate track day car!
