It can be said that Maserati has officially launched a new model Maserati MC20 this year, as an entry-level supercar, maserati MC20 has reached qualified standards in both appearance and performance, although it is a V6 engine, it has been able to break out the power level of the V8 engine, which is very commendable.
As we all know, although Maserati is not yet an ultra-luxury brand, the "smallness" of its product line is close to that of ultra-luxury brands, and even McLaren's supercar models on sale are more than it, which inevitably makes people lament that it does not have a "super luxury life", but has a "super luxury disease". But this can not be blamed on Maserati, Maserati's sales performance over the years is indeed very average, not only in China, but also in the world, almost only a fraction of Porsche's sales. Here's a word, don't say that because Porsche has cheaper models such as Macan and 718, so sales are high, Porsche even if only calculate the sales of the Paramela, Cayenne and 911 are enough to rub maserati on the ground, and Maserati does not even have the courage to fight back.
Sluggish sales show that the money earned is small, or even the money has not been earned, no money means that there is no way to engage in research and development, innovation, no money to engage in research and development will lead to backward technology can not keep up with the rhythm, the car will not be sold... It's an endless cycle. Maserati has been grinding a sword for ten years to create a new flagship MC20, and it will certainly not let go of the idea of making more money for the MC20, which is not, the open-top version of the MC20 is coming.
According to Maserati's official news, on December 21, its new supercar MC20 convertible prototype has driven out of the Maseratidna factory, followed by its official spy photos. According to people familiar with the matter, this convertible version of the supercar will officially meet with the public in 2022.
As the open-top model of the MC20, it will continue to feature a body made of carbon fiber and composite materials, but because of its convertible identity, Maserati has created a new mechanical hardtop design for it. Audiences who understand the vehicle structure should know that the convertible model of the same car will generally be heavier, acceleration and speed performance will be worse, this is because the convertible car does not have a traditional roof to build a frame structure to ensure the strength of the body, but it needs to have enough strength to ensure the stability and safety of the driving, then the engineer will work the chassis, and the weight will increase accordingly.
In terms of power, the MC20 will undoubtedly continue to be powered by its latest 3.0T twin-turbo V6 engine, with a maximum horsepower of 630 hp and a peak torque of 730 N·m.
So the question is, Maserati MC20 Convertible and Audi R8 Convertible, who do you prefer?
