Jim Butler Maserati

Nov 14, 2023

A very colorful and exhilarating legacy has left us with so much to look forward to this holiday season at Jim Butler Maserati of St Louis, as the thrill of driving and Italian elegance is channeled into a brand-new limited-edition model. The MC20 Notte will see 50 models released and is designed to display the sweeping lines and always-visceral appearance along with legendary adrenaline in racing. The MC20’s design originated in collaboration with Maserati reference driver and GT1 world champion Andrea Bertolini, and dazzles in a “nero essenza” finish that shines even in the most extreme cloak of darkness.

This is living and breathing proof that many of life’s best things come in a bit short supply, with Bertolini’s “Midas touch” exemplified in the matte white gold detailing on the Trident logo, side insignias, and Maserati script. This is a hefty recognition and nostalgic nod to our very illustrated motorsport history. In 1926 it was the Tipo 26 driven by Alfieri Maserati that began an inspirational and high-performing brand’s legacy, while Geurinio Bertocchi was acting as riding mechanic and won in the 1,500-cc class in 1926.

This year as the action heated up on pavement worldwide in June, we took our first Formula E victory with Maximilian Gunther in the 2023 Jakarta ePrix during race 2. Bertolini’s admirable influence is also evident in the 20-inch matte black birdcage wheels adorned with matte white gold accents and black brake calipers. These boast a very sleek and sinister stance on pavement, while the interior boasts very comfortable 6-way power sport seats in Alcantara black and grey. Other very cool characteristics are carbon fiber inserts on the Alcantara sport steering wheel, and the distinguished Trident directly on the headrests. 

Each of these very special 50 models boast an exclusive metal plate and a “UNA DI 50” plaque, both symbols of its well-deserved place in future supercar folklore. The Trident’s “Fuoriserie” customization program was derived to create memorable and amazing “rolling sculptures” that are awe-inspiring and distinguished. This edition will celebrate the sensational thrill of high-octane pavement racing, along with the tempting allure of the night. Maserati joined Andrea Bertolini for a special teaser film that depicts the “Notte” in action, which is now available for esteemed collectors worldwide. 

This paint scheme is also luminescent, enjoying a unique means of glowing in the dark while enjoying a world-class driving experience under the moonlight. The V6 Nettuno onboard gleefully maintains its 630 horsepower and 538 lb-ft of torque, and the Top Speed auto review crew claimed that the MC20 is brilliant at “not being a frustration during the real roads that most of us have to drive on.” Even if you must be driving on the gentler side, dropping the roof will intensify the engine’s note, along with the lovely scenery. 

This roof is made of electrochromic glass and can quickly switch between clear and near opaque at the touch of a button. The aerodynamic work done here is so thoroughly serious and has been meticulously modified for the Cielo around the rear to maintain optimal intake and cooling levels. The MC20 flaunts responsive steering, the strength of pivoting with no difficulty around tight corners, and heaps of traction during any dramatic exit. Useful for “a recreational blast to make your heart sing or the slow-burn pleasure of a long tour”, the MC20’s new owners will surely love these cars’ talents and diverse depth!
