Is it good enough to be a supercar?
It was designed from the ground up, not a reskin. Alfa Romeo As some believed, the new MC20 has been put through its paces at the hands of the folks at Motorsport Magazine . A video onboard shows the mid-engined supercar’s twin-turbo V6 performing in acceleration tests up to 124 mph (220 km/h).
The MC20 is very quick for a V6-powered vehicle, even when it’s in Corsa mode. The supercar was able to run the sprint in less time than Maserati promised, running 0-62 mph (0–100 km/h), in less that 2.9 seconds, and 0-124mph (0–200 km/h), in less than 8.8 seconds.
It may not sound as exciting, but this is likely because it’s a Euro-spec model with the gasoline particulate filters. The MC20 will sound better in other markets with less strict emissions regulations. An aftermarket exhaust will solve this problem and allow the Nettuno to perform more aggressively.
The convertible version will be available, as well as a fully-electric derivative. However, they will both weigh more than the coupe (1,500 kg / 3,306 lbs). This is especially true for the EV. However, the electric motor’s instant torque should result in even more acceleration than the V6 version.
The MC20 is a return of form. While the Levante , Grecale SUVs and Grecale will undoubtedly be more popular, Maserati’s new supercar will boost its image and make it easier to compete with performance brands.
