Maserati’s unforgettable supercar is celebrated by its successor.
The Maserati MC12 is one of the most legendary supercars ever to wear the manufacturer’s Trident emblem. Ushering the historic brand into the 21st century with a high-performance masterpiece, the MC12 was both a roadgoing supercar and a GT racer, which brought Maserati back to the racetrack competitively in 2004 for the first time in 37 years. 20 years later, the Maserati MC20 carries on the MC12’s legacy with its incredible looks and performance and the power of Maserati’s Nettuno V6 engine, making it the new flagship supercar from Maserati.
It’s been 20 years since the introduction of the legendary MC12, and Maserati is celebrating its impact both on the road and the racetrack with two special editions of the MC20, inspired by the MC12 Stradale and the MC12 GT1 Vitaphone. The MC20 Icona is inspired by the MC12 Stradale, which itself paid homage to the Maserati Trofeo Light and the Birdcage Type 61. Through Maserati’s Furoiserie division, the MC20 Icona features a Bianco Audace and Blu Stradale livery, with blue brake calipers and a carbon fiber engine cover, all paying homage to the iconic white and blue of the Maserati MC12.
The Maserati MC20 Leggenda pays homage to the Maserati MC12 GT1 Vitaphone, pairing Nero Essenza with Digital Mint Matte for its livery, with a yellow Trident on the grille and accents in Digital Mint to add more racing-inspired visual interest. Both special edition cars feature unique touches, like a custom interior that complements the livery, headrest embroidery with either “Icona” or “Leggenda,” and luxury features like the Sonus faber sound system, suspension lifter, carbon fiber interior package, and more.
Only 20 examples of the Maserati MC20 Icona and MC20 Leggenda will be made, making each an ultra-exclusive ode to Maserati’s rich supercar history. With the unforgettable Maserati MC12 serving as inspiration, the Maserati MC20 pays an incredible tribute with its new special editions, carrying the MC12’s torch.
