The Maserati MC20 is a gorgeous new mid-engine supercar powered by a brand new 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 called Nettuno. As in Neptune, god of the sea, the one who brandishes a trident… see what they did there? It produces 621bhp at 7,300rpm and 538lb ft of torque at 3,000rpm, and your only choice is an eight-speed twin-clutch auto gearbox. The MC20 weighs 1500kg, which is about 50kg more than a McLaren 570S, 0-62mph takes 2.9 seconds, 0-124mph takes 8.8 seconds and top speed is 203mph… about as quick as you could ever want to go.

One of most enticing things, to me, about Maseratis have always been how well the tune the exhaust of the sports cars and this car with V6 just doesn’t have it.

I like what the simplicity says about Maserati. While part of me essentially just wanted a slightly modernized-looking MC12 all over again. So many cars, particularly sports cars, are getting competitively over the top in their design and oversaturated interiors. I love how Maserati have gone the opposite way with it, deliberately; not out of ease or laziness, but I think as a conscious departure from today's clutter of overselling design. More angles, more hype, more stickers, more carbon fiber until... more... ultimately pointless. I think Maserati have made a car that, looks-wise at least, will age like a fine wine.

@almac9203 2 года назад

Except the Porsche will hold it's value and will be reliable whereas you will struggle to give this away in 5 years time. Go and look at the resale values for Maserati and see got yourself. Go and look at the resale value on a Porsche GT3 and compare. At least if you buy a Ferrari you are getting the brand cache but Maserati doesn't have that. This is certainly a choice for the heart rather than the head.

@coolguy_2997 2 года назад

you can see from the video picture how great the suspension setup is - the car seems smooth and supple but at the same time there's no body roll at all in the corners. Porsche GT3s used to be like that before they have become too harsh for public roads.

@napalmhotdog4365 2 года назад

The current GT3 is certainly not too harsh for public roads, they’re only uncomfortable when compared to seriously comfy cars. I’ve been passenger in a 992 a few times in the south west of England, and it definitely isn’t too harsh.

@guiavi2 2 года назад

They made a 3.0 liter V6 with 621hp, wich is a massive step forward in terms of engine development, this is what the industry is aiming for years now with downsizing in order to achieve better fuel efficiency and lower emitions, and obviously so much power in a tiny casing like this would maybe have consequences in the power delivery (btw, this is why hybrid systems are so interesting to use with these modern power trains this days), and Jack said this feels “last gen”, wich in my opinion was an unfortunate word choice. This engine is probably in the vanguard of tecnology. And as we talk about the interior, why isnt the money there? Because it is in the driving experience. Why is it so hard to understand, why is a McLaren interior just like that and there are no comments like this about it? Its just a case of repositioning the brand in the market, and we are all here saying “build interesting cars” and blá-blá-blá, and this guy is again pushing it to luxury and everything with this comments wich is not its primary purpouse.

@Raven77844 2 года назад

At £200K customers expect a certain level of performance and luxury. If its competing against other cars in the same price bracket it has expectations to meet. A 3.0L V6 turbo with 621HP is NOT a massive leap in engine development. Its been achieved and beaten by other car manufacturers at that price point. It you can get that performance at half that cost...now that would be impressive!.

@peterkater4292 2 года назад

OK, it might not be perfect. It's got FTP screens all over the place, a V6 engine (only), turbos that allow for a little lag... But at the end of the day, it is pure, refreshing, good looking. Like the baby sister of an MC12. And above all (unlike its idiotic Ferrari cousin) it is NOT ELECTRIC AT ALL 👍

@nomayor1 2 года назад

"It might not be perfect"? The test started by saying, well the recent SUVs and saloons have been crap, but hey look what they were doing back in the '60'ies. Then it went on to describe how cheap the interior is and how impractical it is, to continue by saying that what is a brand new engine, is in fact one generation behind. Next we have an automatic gearbox which is better when used in manual mode, the steering having a "question mark", "as there is with the brakes" as well. And yet, the test concludes by saying that it rides like a big Alpine, which is the praise the tester can invent to give it.

@peterkater4292 2 года назад

@@nomayor1 Good point. I take it all the way! Nevertheless, that car imo won't be a failure. If it doesn't sell as expected, Maserati still has at least 2 options : 1. Face-lift it (mentioned in the video) 2. Lower down the price tag (I'm just saying) So, not perfect, but I don't see a reason to "utterly hate it". After all it isn't an idiotic hybrid (Ferrari 296GTB) or even worse a freakin EV that is ugly and more expensive than an island in the Caribbean (Rimac Nevera). My point? There are still people who like cars for their Soul and presence. They don't need a million horsepower or the latest NASA technology on-board screens and gizmos. Maserati did it (almost without issues) and I'm glad to see a car like this still exists. In our era, it's about the survival of the sportscar I'd say. No hybrid crap, no battery nonsense. A driver's car. Anybody still getting the meaning of it?

@longtailgt 2 года назад

The V6 engine isn't an issue. Look at the XJ220. It had a V6 back in the 90s, when having a V6 in a supercar was basically a sin, and yet it was faster than almost all of its V8 and V12 rivals (except the McLaren F1 of course).

@memsybabe 2 года назад

It smells of compromise to me. Should have been an Alfa 6C, but ended up being a Maserati. Based on an extended 4C chassis. If I'm buying something that's compromised anyway, I'd choose the new Lotus and save 100k...

So much prettier than anything mid engined from Ferrari. I would imagine after it’s specced up it’s still a substantial amount less than an F8 tributo. It’s basically an Italian McLaren…and as long as it works and doesn’t catch fire I think they’re onto a winner. Fingers crossed the depreciate like a stone so I can buy one 🤞
