David Beckham Claims That The Maserati MC20 is The Perfect Car

He ordered one, naturally.

David Beckham was named Maserati’s global brand ambassador in May. You won’t hear him criticize the MC20. The Italian marque with the trident logo invited the former soccer player to take the supercar mid-engined for a spin around the Modena circuit.

The 46-year old celebrity got his first chance to drive the Maserati supercar. The owner of Club Internacional de Futbol Miami has been seen in one of the company’s videos. He drove a Levante Trofeo at the time that the deal was announced with the fabled automaker in April.

David Beckham, who retired in 2013 after refusing a contract extension with Paris Saint-Germain was full of praises for the first Maserati in many decades. It’s the “perfect car”, and will be ideal to drive in sunny Miami, Florida.

The 621-horsepower, twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 engine and its stunning soundtrack made it “By far the most enjoyable car I’ve ever driven.” was how he described the machine. The car made him feel 16-17 years old, bringing back childhood memories of how excited he felt about the first car he drove.

Beckham will have a lot to do considering Maserati has a massive product launch planned. The supercar was launched and will be continued next year with the Grecale. This smaller crossover is located below the Levante. A new GranTurismo will also be available, with a GranCabrio as well as an electric option.

Stellantis is developing a dedicated electric platform to support the Ghibli sedan replacements and Quattroporte sedans. Maserati will soon release a zero emission derivative of the next-generation Levante. This is good news for those who love the sound of a combustion engine.

Here’s what the company has in store for the next years.
