Nettuno and the carbon-fibre chassis
The MC20 introduced Maserati’s Nettuno engine, developed and built in Modena. Its pre-chamber combustion system draws on technology used in Formula 1, helping a compact V6 deliver supercar performance.
A carbon-fibre monocoque developed with Dallara gives the car its structural foundation. The sculpted underside manages airflow without requiring a large, movable rear spoiler, while butterfly doors provide access to the two-seat cockpit.
Italian design with a driving focus
The cabin keeps its controls simple, with digital instruments, a central touchscreen and a prominent driving-mode selector. The MC20 combines a restrained exterior with a more visibly technical lower body, where cooling and aerodynamic requirements shape the design.
The MC12 is an important historical reference for the MC20’s sporting ambition. This article covers the original petrol-powered MC20 coupé unveiled in 2020; figures for other derivatives should be checked separately.
