Maserati MC20: You HAVE To Know About This Supercar | Catchpole on Carfection

[@Tuberuser187]

I really like it, physical buttons and controls inside, its not trying to be a batmobile either. I think from the front it looks very Maserati, the grill is very reminiscent of the MC12 and GTs. Nice review for sure, the scenery in the "epic intro" really is epic.

[@Schmitzelhaus]

Yeah, i agree, i just took a glims at the thumbnail and instantly clicked on it, because i thought it´s a video about the MC12. I was confused for a sec there, not gonna lie. 😅 And i would take this over any Lamborghini without hesitation! With it´s simple, timeless shapes it has everything to be a future classic.

[@deadlyrobot5179]

Interesting that it has just won Evo’s COTY. It seems there is an appreciation of its quirks and imperfections, and it’s mechanical honesty and relative simplicity.

[@pab3783]

The car looks fantastic! It’s certainly out of my budget but if I were in the market for this, I’d buy it. The speed? All of these 500+ bhp cars, regardless of price, are faster than anything you can reasonably use on the road and it’s certainly not a car I’d take to a race track. Beautiful car.

[@FidelisG]

If I were fortunate enough to buy a Maserati, it'll be this one! Or the MC20 Cielo. And I'll definitely daily drive it. BTW that "The Car Comes Alive" part! Loved how you show the car's total change of character, Mr Catchpole was definitely gripping the wheel harder than in GT mode! Great attention to detail, GREAT video as usual. Love you guys!

[@54car]

Finally saw one of these in LA and it made my jaw drop. It was beautiful and understated, like a lot of the early 2000s supercars. This, the LC500 and modern 911s are my current favs in a sea of overdone “look at me” type cars I see out here.

I just love seeing Maserati back taking on the likes of Ferrari. It’s been a crime the way the brand has been abused. Being the number 2 to Ferrari never allowed to shine to much just in case it upset big brother. Their racing history is fantastic in the 50s and 60s.

[@andybroer651]

And in '39 and '40 Maserati won the Indy500 and almost again in '41 with the 8CTF... and for the record Maserati is the older brother to Ferrari as they were racing when Enzo was 16. Maserati had been making race cars for 33 years before the first Ferrari was made.

My biggest takeaway from this is how amazing the Alfa 4C was. Yes it doesn’t have the same power level, but in terms of looks, handling etc, it seems right up there and for 1/4 the price…

[@jamesrobert4106]

I was given a test drive of a 4c when it first released. I am just a humble road driver and I smiled from start to finish. 😁

[@cars_with_monte]

I own a 4C and have had the honor of driving the MC20. The similarities are far larger than just sharing a chassis. The MC20 felt like a Guilia QV and a 4C had a baby. Which Maserati won’t admit, but that is exactly what the MC20 is. 4C chassis, QV engine and transmission, mix of 4C ergonomics with Guilia switch gear and some Maserati badges. The MC20 is what Alfa Romeo should have badged the 6C. Maybe they’ll launch it before going fully EV, we will have to see. 😊

[@archiegoodwinjr]

Thank you for another thoughtful video. Good to see a Maserati with "sports car" performance, format and styling. Reminds me of when the Mistral was introduced--stylistically a big departure, interesting to look at, but a less distinct than its rivals. I hope the next model, perhaps an EV, will be an A6GCS for its time.

[@maseratiupgrades4363]

I have been blessed with one. So far, put 2000 miles on it and still want to drive it to discover more and understand it better. If I don't try to understand it, extreme performance is intuitive/natural and scary. But when I want to learn it it to control it, then (most times) I find myself behind the eight ball unless I concentrate intensely on the revs during shifting. But that is difficult at first to do (still learning) as torque and power develop exponentially when in the active secondary ignition chamber zone at higher 3500+ rpms. The unpredictability of it all is compounded by the fact that, in this zone, the power train suddenly becomes uncannily calm and smooth compared to the rest of the engine's 'grainy' nature ( compliments of no counter-balance shafts). This 'eye of the storm' phase betrays a corresponding spike in speed which can only clearly be confirmed by eyes glued to the speedometer: a sensation that is unpredictable by adopting either a naturally aspirated or modern turbo or hybrid predictive model (rev-reach power threshold shift-repeat) or an old school turbo predictive model (rev-nobody home-sudden burst). With the MC20, the sensation can be explained by brief pause-sudden shove-exponentially growing shove only detectable by sudden suspension adaptation sounds and jitters when the road is not smoothe enough. Mostly refined though rough around some edges, the car has an unusually high feel of solidity (feels like a tank), glides down the road when driven casually, tends to 'get a move on' and then surprises with more; and is, to me, stunningly beautiful and well proportioned. I truly believe, that if this car proves to be reliable enough in the long term, it's pleasing uniqueness will make history as one of the few Maserati brilliant stars.

I believe that type of pre-combustion chamber is now being used in F1. Apparently gives a better and more even burn. But it's perhaps one reason why F1 engines have been difficult for the engineers to get right with the MGU-K and MGU-H. Sadly, MGU-H (the turbo end) is being dropped and that was the most interesting part we the public knew about those engines. The car looked to be bouncing quite a bit, but then, the road also looked extremely bumpy too. Worth it for those views though. As for the car, it's a strange one with the basic interior and simple lines. If it were half the price it would be awesome, but at the price they're asking? I'm not convinced it's quite special enough.
