Modena Motorsports, Inc—the official and local importer and distributor of Maserati in the Philippines—set forth the MC20 for Filipino car enthusiasts.MC20 is “First of its Kind” and Maserati returns to a stage where it has always starred, that of Supercars that combine luxury and performance with the Brand’s unique style.
The MC20 is a Maserati with mind-blowing aerodynamic efficiency. Its superb looks conceal an uncompromisingly sporty soul, with the new 630 horsepower V6 Nettuno engine that delivers 0-100 km/h acceleration in 2,88” and a top speed of over 326 km an hour. A patented, 100% Maserati engine benefiting from the MTC (Maserati Twin Combustion) technology, the innovative combustion system developed by the Brand evolved from the pre-chamber technology used on Formula 1 powertrains. Conceived, designed, and built entirely in-house.
MC20 is a Maserati built to stun, a Maserati that can storm around the track and perform superlatively on the road, with excellent driveability, comfort, and safety, in an interior where efficiency combines with the luxury and exclusiveness integral to all the Brand’s models. MC20 has been designed in Modena at the Maserati Innovation Lab and is produced at the historic Viale Ciro Menotti plant.
The design of the MC20 was developed at the Centro Stile Maserati in Turin. Underlying the new Trident supercar is a brand’s history that has both elegance and racing prowess in its genes. Maserati design is the perfect blend of elegance, sportiness, and personality.
The MC20 conveys emotions with its elegant yet sporty line and leaves the role of pure functionality to the interior. Everything is very rational, almost minimalist, with two 10-inch screens, one for the cockpit and the other, Maserati Touch Control Plus (MTC Plus MIA), centrally located, slanted slightly towards the driver. The tunnel is very plain, with no superfluous ornamentation. It only carries the driving mode selector, two buttons for the gears, the power window controls, the infotainment volume control, and a smartphone pad with a wireless charger. All the other controls are on the steering wheel, with the ignition button on the left and the launch control on the right.
MC20 has five driving modes, selected using the selector in the center of the tunnel: WET, GT, SPORT, and CORSA. Each one is identified by its own colors: WET green; GT blue; SPORT red; CORSA yellow; ESC OFF orange.
The automatic transmission is an 8-speed oil-immersed Dual Clutch design with six power and two overdrive speeds to ensure emissions compliance. 97% of the car’s development was performed virtually, using the virtual vehicle Dynamics development system developed by Maserati itself and based on a very complex mathematical model called Virtual Car, into which every conceivable parameter is entered.
Sonus Faber tuning offers natural, clear, and detailed sound quality, allowing the listener to easily denote each melody within the sound symphony, offering a performance element to the driving experience. Designed and engineered in Italy, the Sonus Faber Premium audio system and Maserati MC20 blend power and natural sound to offer its clientele a taste of each brand’s rich heritage.
Historical authenticity, craftsmanship, luxury, and elegance are the values that intertwine the two brands, creating an extraordinary journey where the sound of the engines and the harmony of the music merge together, bringing to life a unique voice, that of Italian style and heritage.
