Maserati MC20, the first proper Maserati supercar in over 50 years | Top Gear Series 32

Supercar looks, supercar doors, supercar price tag. The first mid-engined Maserati supercar for a generation... 0-62mph in 2.9 seconds, top speed of 202mph, but after 50 years out of the game, has Maserati nailed it with the MC20?

Maserati MC12: "Am I a joke to you?"

[@abishek4300]

That's a Racecar

[@R3AL-AIM]

Exactly

[@R3AL-AIM]

@@abishek4300 it's a glorified super car anywhere else in the world. Lol

[@ALMX5DP]

MC12 is just a reskinned Ferrari though. I think they used ‘proper’ and ‘genuine’ here for a reason.

[@bekkouche]

No, you're a Ferrari's side job.

[@simonov_spas]

This one is a gem. A rare gem in an era full of facelifts, fake exhausts, fake noise, hybrid this and that... Bravo Maserati, bravo 👏

[@Ministry_0f_Truth]

Sad that the new GranTurismo is all electric.

[@simonov_spas]

@@Ministry_0f_Truth True, true. I get chills every time I start up that V8 in the morning...one day this will all be lost by fake wizardly sounds by the speakers and uninspiring silence...

[@videogames2339]

​@Il.Livorno.Volante i mean probably the only one. It's a really powerful v6 but that's it. They can definitely do much better with v8.

[@papillon1232]

bruv its a v6 its not that special

[@mafcarvalho]

I must admit that I'm a bit biased because I love Maserati. Period. The Granturismo, the Quattroporte (5th gen with astonishing looks and a Ferrari 4.7 V8), the MC12, even the Ghibli is cute as a button but underpowered. Now the MC20 is a dream to me. No electric motors, RWD, an Italian design that puts sooooo many supercars to shame, a roar that makes sure to be heard and the almighty trident... Pure love!

[@doctordoom02]

I'm biased too because I hate Maserati, and this is hands reeeally down the most beautiful supercar in decades!

[@MattWilliams482]

One of the best looking cars in recent years. Love this.

[@JoseRodriguez-ey7ju]

many reviewers keep saying it"s too expensive for what it is, honestly i kind of agree but i'd buy it for the looks alone. it's gorgeous

[@stanislouse4168]

I saw it in person and it looks GREAT! So much better than any video. Sat in it and it is set up perfectly with TONS of head room.

[@IanHobday]

Too bad Alfa wasn't allowed to release it. Maybe it makes more sense as a Maserati.

[@phil4986]

It has to go like Hell through the turns. It's a Maserati. Mission accomplished. Well done, Maserati.

[@YanuarTriAdityaNugraha]

In certain angle, MC20 resembles the almighty Noble M600. Awesome lines!

[@Mystipaoniz]

ha yes funny you should say that because that's exactly what i was thinking. And with that beautiful blue also...

[@hellocookie5932]

Could say it was a Ferrari maybe.

[@Justincase888]

I've never EVER been a maserati fan, I've always been a Shelby fan, and mclaren for supercars (765lt) BUT: IMO the MC20 is THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CAR MADE IN THE LAST 10 YEARS! Do you agree?

[@airshieldcombo12345]

I've seen a few of these on the street here in Vancouver and they look even better in person. Really glad some of the "lesser" legendary sports car makers like Maserati and Lotus are back with top tier cars.

[@geofreyr]

I saw one today and it was quite breathtaking coming towards me.

[@DSOXBLADE]

"What no 911 could possibly do." That's a big statement to make. I'm even more impressed with that car.

[@romulus_]

precisely why more people should drive caymans.

[@aviator-kn8zq]

the 911 handles great for its own formula. and beats most supercars.

[@casey2732]

This car is simply EPIC. The best looking vehicle on the market, drives like crazy. Chris approval also proves that car means the business.

[@user-jv7xi7oh1b]

Pizza business

[@OverclockedToaster]

considering the fact most supercars are mostly speed focused this is MC20 is a great take on a what a supercar really is... a fun toy for many can enjoy. not a super techy advanced car with just numbers... this car is a reminder of what a supercar really is meant to be, appreciate it maserati :) and i agree very much with chris' opinion.

[@sfcindia981]

He is the only man keeping top gear alive, I still think Chris Harris, Neil carey and Chris waterfield was the best thing ever happened on KZbin. Because these cars need a proper "Chris Harris on cars" review..

[@romulus_]

they are cool. but three haunting words: italian build quality.

[@CLOUD316]

As a proud Maserati owner this one here is the last masterpiece Maserati will create for its final gasoline motor before the switch to full EV ^ what were witnessing is a piece of history this will be a big future classic

[@MichelMrz]

Loved it! Does anyone notice that these super cars are the same as art? In 100 years, they will only be able to see them in museums and say to themselves, "Wow, how lucky they were to drive so many different masterpieces on gasoline."

[@thisisbenji90]

Except only a few people actually get to drive these things, while the rest of us our scraping by to own a fifteen year old Honda or are up to our eyeballs in automotive debt.

[@Schmitzelhaus]

This car will still look gorgeous even 30 years from now, such a timeless design and so refreshing to see a sportscar that is not plastered with wings for once! Tbh i´m already kinda over all those tablesized swan-neck backwings.

[@stobe187]

Someone who's accustomed to the wilder super/hypercars of today might think this car is bit plain but I really like it's simplicity and focus.

[@farishanafiah8461]

The MC20 Cielo is my absolute favourite. I do like the Coupe, but I don't feel the temptation of owning one. The convertible Cielo version though, COUNT ME IN! WHAT A BEAUTY! 😍😍

[@zvonimirkrajina2211]

They had the MC12 in the 2004/2005, so that's much less than 50 years out of the game. And it was built (like the MC20) to go back to GT racing.

[@aregano45]

Literally thinking the same thing watching this.

[@supersemen]

Chris Harris, I must say, is the finest motoring journalist ever. I’m old school, a fan of Clarkson, Tiff Needell, Andrew Frankel, et. al. But I must say, every time a video is released by Chris via any of his associated channels, I am itching to watch what he has to say, and aside from the fact that he really knows his way around a car, he does give really very practical advice! A true journalist, a true car guy. Fair play, Chris.

[@AnDuKn0Thi5MaN]

R8 we will miss you…. Maserati…thank you for filling the hole in our hearts 🥲🫶🏽

[@bits2646]

I really hope Maserati go into gt3 racing with that model and produce some results with it so can build more hype around that car, which is seriously underrated in my opinion

[@sukakomentar4575]

The most beautiful supercar in 2022.

[@haxhibaba]

What a pity that I don't have the money to buy it, but definitely a great pure V6 supercar ! I love it

[@MafiaboysWorld]

My first knowledge of Maserati was 8yr old me discovering the Ghibli BiTurbo. While not a "supercar", it still sticks in my mind today.

[@habibyahya6472]

Mine was the 3200 GT and after that the quattraporte. Stunning machines

[@SoerenAU]

My first Maserati experience was a demonstrator ride as a passenger,, with Danish racecar driver Jason Watt at the wheel, in a Maserati Shamal, on the highway near the city of Nærum, organised as a lottery win at an open house day at specialist cardealer Hersild & Heggov. Tremendous power from that generously installed V8, and classically styled leather interior.

[@yoeri4804]

I see Chris Harris, I click. Was about time!

[@luke_3_113]

Another great bit of motoring journalism from Chris Harris!

[@howarddavies136]

Fair play to Chris, he has adapted so well to being a TV presenter. But he is and always will be an automotive journalist at heart and his best work will always be his own, driven by passion and away from BBC scripts and direction.

[@ballistischerfalke4061]

I misjudged this car when it came out. It looks awesome and is very compact, very simple formula, and it works.

[@HylianWindRider]

Looks super stylish I must say.

[@JohnFromAccounting]

The MC20 is 90% the best at everything it does, and never drops the ball in any way. Where some supercars are the best at this or that, the Maserati is only "very good". Where other supercars fall short in one or many areas, the Maserati doesn't. Great car.

[@ishy_aldean]

[@N5grk1p]

I havent been in love with a car this much since I first saw the Audi R8 in the first Iron Man movie. This car is just gorgeous. This car is like the Maserati version of the 458. Kinda like the enzo vs the MC12.

[@haidweng7948]

This car is way different than 458

[@hepo3544]

Nettuno is a pretty fricking badass name for engine though. They made this glorious machine and named it after Roman god of the Sea. Damn.

[@alexmar1382]

In another segment; we all would love to see Chris drive and review the new Z06 Corvette.

[@jamaljames2578]

Always watching from Georgetown Guyana south America 🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾

[@eRacing_driver_Jaco]

The Nettuno injection system is the party piece. There is a pre-combustion chamber which allows to inject already ignited petrol and air mixture, into the mains combustion chambers. That's why this 3.0 liter v6 has more than 120 bhp than any other 3.0 liters twin-turbo!
