Maserati MC20 2025: Price, consumption, picture, technical data.

Maserati has been teasing us about the new MC20 mid-engine sports car for some time, and we finally got to drive this sweet little cannoli and sample its novel 621-hp twin-turbo V-6. The MC20 will be offered as a two-seat coupe with a minimalist, driver-focused cabin; a convertible will be added to the lineup later, and an electric MC20 will eventually enter production as well.

Sports car Maserati MC20

A collaboration with motorsport engineering company Dallara has resulted in a carbon fibre structure with aluminium subframes for the suspension and drivetrain. This design minimises weight, setting the MC20 up for performance-related success.

What’s new ?

The MC20 is an all-new model for the Maserati range, and the “MC” in its name refers to Maserati Corse – a signal that the brand will soon return to racing events with a track-only variant of the car.
Maserati hasn’t launched the convertible body style yet, but it will almost certainly command a hefty premium over the coupe. We’d save the money and go with the coupe anyway. Most of the MC20’s most desirable features come standard, but we recommend springing the optional front suspension lifter to help overcome speed bumps.

Engine, transmission and performance

Maserati is using the MC20 as an opportunity to launch an all-new twin-turbocharged V6 engine that produces 630 horsepower. The new engine, called the Nettuno, uses a unique dual-combustion system borrowed from Formula 1 race cars and is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Maserati claims a zero-to-62 mph time of under three seconds and a top speed of over 200 mph. In addition to the gasoline-powered model, Maserati says an all-electric variant of the MC20 with four-wheel drive will also be launched soon and will be the Italian luxury brand’s first foray into electrification.

The company hasn’t released any details about the battery or electric motors yet, but we expect to hear more about the EV model soon. After our brief test drive of the petrol-powered MC20, we were impressed with the throttle response and linear power delivery from the powertrain. As expected, the MC20 is incredibly quick and the handling is race car-worthy. Despite the MC20’s otherworldly performance, its ride is refined and with the adaptive suspension in its most comfortable mode, it soaks up bumps well enough to consider driving it daily or taking it on a road trip.

Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG

Fuel economy for high-performance sports cars isn’t typically great. Take Mercedes-AMG’s GT, for example, which in its most efficient configuration achieves a fuel economy rating of 22 mpg on the highway. The EPA hasn’t released a fuel economy estimate for the Mc20, but we hope to put it to the test on our real-world highway fuel economy test route soon. While details of the all-electric variant are hazy, Maserati has said a range of more than 235 miles is its engineers’ goal. For more information on the MC20’s fuel economy, visit the EPA’s website.

Interior, comfort and cargo

A two-seat cabin is accessed through upward-opening “butterfly” doors. The MC20’s interior design is clean and minimalist, with only the essential controls on the center console. The cabin offers high-quality materials with a decidedly sporty orientation, including black leather seats with dark blue contrast stitching, aluminum pedals and carbon fiber trim. To solve the problem of rear visibility, the MC20 features a digital rearview mirror that uses a rear-facing camera to send an image of what’s behind the car to a frameless interior rearview mirror mounted in the traditional location on the windshield. Several current production vehicles already offer a similar system.

Infotainment and connectivity

Although Maserati’s current lineup uses a revamped version of Fiat Chrysler ‘s Uconnect infotainment system , the MC20 serves as a launch pad for the brand’s next-generation system, which uses Google’s Android automotive operating system. The new user interface is projected onto a horizontally oriented 10.3-inch touchscreen hidden beneath the air vents in the center of the dashboard; a second 10.3-inch display serves as the instrument cluster.

Safety and driver assistance functions

The MC20 offers few driver-assistance features because its focus is more on performance than everyday use. For more information on the MC20’s crash test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) websites. Key safety features include:

• Available blind spot monitoring

Warranty and maintenance coverage

The MC20 comes with the same standard warranty package as the other Maserati models, which isn’t really anything special. Rivals like the Audi R8 and 911 offer a little more value here, as both offer the first scheduled maintenance visit free of charge.
