    Mid-engined Maserati MC20 Supercar Coming This Year

    Maserati is making a comeback and it all starts with a brand new supercar that goes by the name of Supersportiva.

    Set to be revealed in May this year, it will join the Trident lineup to take aim at the “junior” supercars from the likes of McLaren, Ferrari and Aston Martin. It will be powered by a mid-mounted V6 initially, with hybrid and fully electric versions to follow.

    According to CarMagazine, it will be based on a carbon fibre tub similar to that of the recently discontinued Alfa Romeo 4C sports car and will likely be built on the same line as that Alfa.

    The new package can accommodate a more senior V6 engine mounted longitudinally amidships, and the suspension will be by double wishbones front and rear.

    The publication claims their sources confirm a V6 powerplant but it is not yet known which engine from the group will be used. The 2.9-litre twin-turbo V6 from the Quadrifoglio is an option but apparently not favoured.

    “Displacement costs only pennies, but pays back big bucks in power and torque,” said an FCA engineer when asked if there’s truth in the rumour Maserati is aiming for a capacity of 3.6-litres instead of the 3.0 from the aforementioned unit.

    Back in November, they released the first teaser for this new mid-engined car claiming to feature an entirely in-house developed engine and that it “will be the forefather of a new family of engines integrated exclusively on the vehicles of the brand”

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?

    • The new BMW M240i xDrive barely puts a foot wrong. The price is right, it's crushingly quick, more than practical enough to daily and if you only look at the front, it is very easy on the eye 😉 

It pulls properly hard, doesn’t feel turbocharged in its response, and delivers thrills when you want them. The extra confidence and pace afforded by the sweet pairing of the straight-six petrol engine and the rear-biased xDrive AWD system make the M240i an enticing proposition all of its own.

If you gave any BMW fan a wish list and asked them to build the perfect car given the company's current resources, it probably wouldn't be too far off this one.
