When the civilian model has allowed many supercar companies to taste the "sweetness", it seems that many brands are also paying more and more attention to the strategic layout in this field, such as Maserati's failure to update its supercar models after the launch of Levante and Ghibil.
It was not until the past two years that the family's new flagship sports car, the MC20, was officially ushered in, and the current guidance price of the new car in China was 2.1 million yuan.
Also as the flagship sports car of the family, the shape of this generation of MC20 can be said to have a great change than granTurismo. Compared with the latter, which is more like the shape of a GT sports car, the design of the MC20 is more in line with the design of the supercar.
In particular, the new design style adopted is slightly similar to another flagship sports car of Maserati, the MC12, and has been used as the successor to the MC12, but the car is significantly smaller than the MC12.
In terms of body size, the car has a length, width and height of 4669/1965/1221mm, and a wheelbase of 2700mm, which is also the smallest model in the family on sale.
It is worth mentioning that the car uses a large number of carbon fiber materials, the body is made of carbon fiber monomer shell shaped by the autoclave, which can make the lightweight extreme, and the weight of the vehicle is less than 1.5 tons.
At the same time, the new car is also equipped with a ceramic carbon fiber brake system with blue calipers in the front six and four rear, after all, to brake a supercar, it is also necessary to have a better braking system.
In terms of interior, the new car seems to adopt a more civilian design style, and the more regular interior design makes the interior of the car not as outstanding as other supercars.
For example, this relatively abrupt central control screen seems to be temporarily installed, only 10.25 inches in size.
However, in order to enhance the driving atmosphere in the cockpit, the new car uses a large number of carbon fiber and Alcantara material wrapping, with two integrated sports seats, which will provide more adequate support for the driver.
In terms of power, the new car is equipped with a 3.0T twin-turbo V6 engine code-named Nettuno, which achieves a maximum power of 463 kW (630 hp) and a maximum peak torque of 730 Nm.
It is reported that this is due to the use of the engine from the F1 car's "double spark plug pre-combustion chamber combustion system" technology, so that the compression ratio is 11:1, and makes it the world's first mass production car to adopt this technology.
Matched is the 8-speed dual-clutch transmission, the new car 0-100km/h acceleration time is only 2.9 seconds, 0-200km/h acceleration time is 8.8 seconds, the maximum speed will be greater than 325km/h.
Judging from the positioning of the new car as the family flagship supercar, and its price of more than 2 million, there are also many strong competitors, including aston Martin DB11, Audi R8 and McLaren GT and many other supercar models.
Aston Martin DB11
Guidance price: 2.358-2.458 million yuan
McLaren GT
Guidance price: 1.988 million yuan
Audi R8
Guidance price: 2.3238 million yuan
Today's Maserati, which focuses on the civilian market, seems to have made everyone feel that it no longer attaches importance to the supercar field, and the competitors are no longer the supercar companies that once were, but are more pointed to brands such as Porsche, making the brand positioning more commercial.
Perhaps in such an environment, Maserati realized that the brand needs to sacrifice a new model to help the brand return to glory, after all, the former Maserati is also known as "two emperors and one queen" with Lamborghini and Ferrari, but now it has gradually deviated from this reputation.
