We Recommend

The 2023 Maserati MC20 Coupe, priced at $217,000, remains to be the best choice in the entire lineup because of its super powerful engine performance, and features like power-adjustable sport seats, excellent aerodynamics, 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, etc. However, one can spend a little more to get the taste of the 2023 MC20 Cielo's upgraded features.

Release Date

The 2023 Maserati MC20's production started in November 2022. The car is expected to be available at the dealerships by early summer of 2023.

The brand manufactured and rolled out its own powertrain without any assistance from Ferrari for the first time in more than two decades. "Nettuno" is the name of the new engine. The performance output of this 3.0L twin-turbocharged V6 engine is 621 horsepower and 538 lb-ft of torque. With an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission, that power is sent directly to the rear wheels of the 2023 MC20. With the best in-segment weight/power ratio (around 5.3 pounds/horsepower), this powertrain uses technology directly from Formula one cars. Less than 3,300 lbs is the overall curb weight of the MC20. The car, according to Maserati, can reach 124 mph in approximately 8.8 seconds and accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in less than three seconds. Depending on the condition of the track, the car can hit a top speed of 201 mph.

The 2023 Maserati MC20 offers a better power delivery compared to the McLaren GT. The coupe also dominates its rivals in terms of torque delivery, except the Huracan Tecnica. The McLaren GT reached the 60 MPH mark at the same time, followed by the rest of the rivals with the same figure. Furthermore, the data for the quarter-mile timing of the MC20 is yet to be determined. The top speed of the car is 201 MPH which is at par with the segment.

2023 Maserati MC20 Ride and Handling

Known for its thrilling steering response, the 2023 Maserati MC20 gives you a complete sense of the contact of front wheels with the tarmac. Maserati claims that the 2023 MC20 offers a sufficient balance between comfort and overall performance and won't just be a quick, track-focused supercar. The adaptive suspension of the MC20 is aptly tuned and it can be used for daily commutes or long road trips because of how well it absorbs undulations. Although some customers might not prefer the smaller powertrain, it does reduce weight, which results in a nice 42:58 front-to-rear weight distribution. The engine has been lowered and the turbos fitted on the outside edges rather than in the middle, which also helps distribute the weight. 

2023 Maserati MC20 Braking Performance

The 2023 Maserati MC20 comes with vented disc brakes on all four of its wheels. The brake pads last about 35,000-65,000 miles depending on the nature of the driving. It comes with 15 in and 13.6 in brake rotors in front and back respectively. While this 2023 Maserati MC20 depicts incredible handling ability, the car remains composed over asphalt thanks to its excellent brake system. As a result, you can determine when ABS will activate easily, and the brake pedal travel is long, ensuring a smooth stop.

The 2023 Maserati MC20 comes with bigger front brake rotors than the McLaren GT. At the rear, the Ferrari F8 Tributo has the biggest rotors as compared to its rivals. The MC20 is lighter than the McLaren GT, contributing to its overall momentum while driving. The data for the stopping distance of the 2023 Maserati MC20, Ferrari F8 Tributo, and the Lamborghini Huracan Tecnica is yet to be determined.

The 2023 Maserati MC20 offers a fuel economy of 15 MPG in a city, 20 MPG on a highway, and 17 MPG combined. The gas mileage has been reduced since 2019 due to the increment in power output. The 2019 edition of the coupe is used to deliver an efficiency of 19 MPG in a city, 24 MPG on a highway, and 21 combined as per the EPA. The car has a fuel tank capacity of 17.6 gallons. It is estimated that the coupe can travel up to 264 miles in a city and 352 miles on a highway over a full tank. 

The 2023 Maserati MC20 offers the same fuel economy in a city as the Ferrari F8 Tributo and the McLaren GT. The coupe has the best economy to offer on a highway. The brand, sadly, offers the smallest fuel tank as compared to its rivals. This is also reflected in the overall range of travel. Amongst the four rivals, the best range is covered by the F8 Tributo, thanks to its massive 22.7-gallon fuel tank.

The 2023 Maserati MC20 provide a functional and comfortable interior. The driving mode selector, which was derived from famous luxury watches, is placed at the top of the central tunnel, which is covered in carbon fiber. The sport steering wheel of the 2023 MC20, which is manufactured out of a combination of carbon fiber and black leather, is another attractive element of the car. The MC20, however, hardly comes with any essential switches and buttons. By the way, the ignition button on the steering wheel of the MC20 was a first for Maserati. There are even buttons for Start and Launch Control located in the wheel's central surround. Big paddle shifters are mounted to the steering column in pairs and the frameless rearview mirror is yet another standout feature.

The complete data for the interior dimensions of the Maserati MC20, Ferrari F8 Tributo, Mclaren GT, and the Lamborghini Huracan Tecnica are not yet available. Despite the appealing cabins of each of these cars, we believe the McLaren GT offers the most appealing interior due to its well-designed layouts and superior materials. The Huracan Tecnica’s cabin is premium enough, but the rivals have got an edge in tjis aspect.

Some of the key interior features available with the 2023 Maserati MC20 include:

• Carbon fiber covered materials
• Heated front seats
• Virtual rearview mirrors

The aim was to combine old and new style elements in an ideal way inside the 2023 MC20. The brand new modified Trident symbol can be seen on the front grille of the car, which is likewise made of carbon fiber with an upper part that matches the body paint. Due to the engine being located behind the driver, the front wing does not have the three air vents of previous Maserati models. Instead, the air vents of the 2023 MC20 are now found on the back window. The coupe stands at 51.3 inches and has a wheelbase of about 96.5 inches.

Some of the notable safety features include Automatic emergency braking, Blind spot monitor, Lane keep assist, and stability control.
