Maserati MC20 Takes Crown For Capability and Furious Form on Ferrari’s Fiorano Track

The Maserati MC20 was unveiled earlier in 2020 and everyone here at Jim Butler Maserati is on the edge of our seats in anticipation. Excitingly, the MC20 undergoing the final testing phases to assure that it lives up to its expectations. After every corner driven through notes taken about steering, how the suspension feels, and raw power are all taken into consideration when roaring repeatedly around the track at exhilarating speeds. Thanks to expert YouTuber Varryx, there is now a video up that shows the MC20 doing laps at the Fiorano race track where brand-new Ferrari models get their chops in before official completion. 

If you watch closely you can witness the MC20 doing power slides, living proof that this concept-turned-reality is going to provide the most enthusiastic and knowledgeable car gurus with a purist’s form of connection and fun that promises to be thrilling. Officially unveiled in September of 2020 and scheduled to go into production during 2021, this is the definitive flagship car to exist since our prized MC12 was discontinued in 2005. Screeching out of the pits with a twin-turbo V6 under the hood co-developed with Ferrari, the MC20 will mark Maserati’s return to racing, as the MC12 did when it first arrived. 

It bodes well that the track during this video shoot is just a little damp, as it provides the opportunity to show just how sharp the car handles. The MC20 is definitely not on the small side of the size category and the noticeably precise handling is not just evident during straightaways: this video portrays how the car takes care of itself on corners. When a professional style track is driven on for the first time by even the most sophisticated of car owners, they are usually always surprised that they cannot even get within 30 seconds a lap of an experienced driver during their first time out. 

This even includes those who have gone on to be champions, and had to slowly but surely make their way around the track while building confidence. This is akin to riding on a ski lift while watching the riders underneath thinking “are they really going that fast?” and once you embark on the slope yourself, see that they are. A collaboration with motorsports engineering company Dallahara has produced a carbon-fiber structure with aluminum subframes that provide an amazingly efficient and lightweight solution for the suspension and powertrain. 

Minimizing the weight on hand is just one of the items that ultimately set up the MC20 for high performance. Turning many heads along the way, it is a perfect time for the model to practice laps around this track and be seen in public, and we guarantee that the “Nettuno” setup borrowing the twin-combustion system from Formula 1 race cars will delightfully trounce many world-class locations such as this one very soon.
