Developed in the company’s innovation lab, the Maserati MC20 super sports car will be built in the historic Viale Ciro Menotti plant in Modena for a worldwide debut at the end of May.
Modernisation work is already in progress on the production line to accomodate the MC20’s electric powertrain.
Work has also commenced on a new paint shop which will be equipped with innovative low environmental impact technology.
MC is an acronym of Maserati Corse and 20 refers to 2020, the year which marks the start of a new phase in Maserati’s history.
Maserati’s first racing car to wear the Trident logo was the Tipo 26, where the number indicated the year of manufacture, and in the same way, the MC20 will be the first car born in the new era of the Modena firm.
It is an evolution of the highly successful MC12, the car that in 2004 marked Maserati’s return to racing after 37 years.
The MC12 won 22 races (including three victories in the 24 Hours of Spa) and 14 Championship titles across Constructors’ Championship, Drivers’ Championship and Teams’ Championships in the FIA GT from 2005 to 2010.
