I’m lucky enough to own a MC20 for a year now and it’s just a superb car. It obviously looks gorgeous, it’s super fast and the handling is just sublime. You can easily drive the car flat-out in corsa mode on Suisse twisty roads because it’s so trustworthy. Some people say it’s too silent, but the induction, turbo and blowoff noises next to your ear are just bonkers. Regarding built quality: you should ask some PPF shops in what state Porsches are being delivered nowadays. In contrast the MC20 was flawless. If there is two things that can be annoying, it is the small gas tank and the space you need to open the doors. Lastly the car turns heads wherever you go. It’s a unicorn ❤

[@dlj1285]

You made the right choice, regardless of what the naysayers say. These are special cars. No car is perfect and can always have something said about it. Congrats.

[@dlj1285]

@@Bounc3r90 No doubt. I gravitate towards more niche vehicles. That car is at the top of my list. I don’t care about depreciation. Anyone having an emphasis on that is missing the point of these types of cars. My 2024 F-type R is gonna have to fit the bill until my lottery win comes in. When it does an MC20 will be one of the first additions to the garage ;-0 Enjoy!

Well, it's a good Sunday today to wake up uber late. Just as I made my coffee, I am greeted with this. Really enjoyable format, straight to the point, still with a lot of cinematography, but centered around the car from the get-go, ambient sounds only. I genuinely fell in love with the MC20 after watching Tedward drive one in Cali. The seating position feels lower than in any other car based off the video. I love the simplicity on the interior, I love the styling of the exterior. The only thing I would be very afraid of if I were to get one is depreciation. In my opinion it turned out to be such a fantastic car despite the early fear of it having a V6, but it's a Maserati priced as high as a 992 GT3...

[@alpanex21]

The Nettuno engine is one of the very few examples of a pre-chamber engine configuration out on the market. The tech first appeared in F1 engines a decade ago, before even journalists started writing articles about it. As someone with a bit of mech.eng. experience having worked with OEMs on such configurations (glad to have worked even with the ones who developed this exact engine), I know most of the benefits, drawbacks etc. but one thing I NEVER asked anyone: does it SOUND different because of the pre-chamber? Alternatively said: can you tell whether any part of the combustion sound is to be attributed to that? I've seen the MC20 at least 3x in Zurich and the truth is, it's exactly that: unique.

[@v12-s65]

I have it in the grecale which sounds very nice due to the longer exhaust system. For a 2024 opf car much better than the germans

[@adrianbennett3761]

The V6 in the Giulia is definitely related to the one in the Maserati. The design of the cylinder heads is the biggest difference. A V8 would definitely sound better.

[@flavioc5389]

Is it really related? AFAIK, the turbos on the MC20 are inside the "hot V" whereas on the Giulia they are conventiinally on the outside.

[@adrianbennett3761]

@@flavioc5389 They definitely share lots of components and if it was a blank paper design it would have a 60 or 120 degree V. You are of course correct about the position of the turbos. I think we’re both right but there are a number of components that appear on the MC20, the Ferrari F154 and the Quadrifoglio. It also produces a lot more power than the engine in the Giulia. The biggest shock is the weight of the car. Most would have thought 1,500 kg max.

[@adrianbennett3761]

@@flavioc5389 Road & Track have done a video revealing all the shared components. However, in essence it is all new and unique to Maserati, you’re right and I’m not. Doesn’t seem to sound so good on the video

[@ZenDrives]

This and the 4c are 💯 overlooked gems for VERY different reasons. The MC20 is a superb GT car that outshines any z06 or 458 or 911 except in speed, and if everyone would just chill out and realize only 1% are genuine Fangios, speed is no longer cool nor impressive on public roads: When you're actually important, people will wait for you, which is why STYLE is more important than speed when the clock isn't sticking anything up your 4ss. Drive well, choose wisely🍀

[@caymanblack9567]

[@fxmixer]

Not just a video, but an experience.

[@justinsorci5998]

The complaint that a sports car doesn’t have much luggage room is tantamount to complaining that it can’t handle hard core off-roading. Neither was part of its design focus. Also, very few buyers will have this car as their only car anyway. Most owners will have high end SUV’s, trucks, tour sedans, etc.
