    Maserati MC20 Is Official With 621 hp (463 kW) and Coming To South Africa in 2021

    Maserati finally took the covers off their highly-anticipated new MC20 supercar last night which packs a powerful V6 and sports some fresh new styling.

    The V6 known as Nettuno has been developed completed in-house and makes use of fancy Formula 1 technology to increase power. The new twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 unit delivers a potent 621 hp (463 kW) and 729 Nm (538 lb-ft) of torque. This is routed through an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission which allows the Modena-made machine to sprint to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.9 seconds and on to a top speed of 323 km/h (201 mph).

    The whole package is based around a carbon fibre monocoque tub which plays a huge part in the car tipping the scales at just 1,500 kg (3,306 pounds).

    Design-wise it is very much Maserati but there are hints of McLaren GT at the rear and a Rimac profile. Upfront, the coupe has a sizeable Trident badge embedded within a simple mesh grille, sharp LED headlights that extend up onto the front fenders, and numerous creases and divots indicative of its aerodynamic nature. Exposed carbon fibre coats the front splitters, roof and side sills, and makes its way to the rear.

    At the back, it looks sleek thanks to the horizontal LED taillights, dual exhaust tips and a large carbon fibre diffuser.

    The new Maserati MC20 comes in six fancy-sounding new colours: Bianco Audace, Giallo Genio, Rosso Vincente, Blu Infinito, Nero Enigma, and Grigio Mistero.

    Maserati has always been behind the competition when it comes to interiors but this MC20 has most certainly changed that. It strikes a blend between race-focused minimalism and the needs of day-to-day motoring. This is best seen on the steering wheel, which the marketing release says features “only essential” buttons and controls.

    Dual, 10-inch displays serve as the gauge cluster and infotainment system, powered by Android Automotive. This software will give easy access to all your smart home needs while also providing a clean, simple user interface, here rebranded as Maserati Touch Control Plus MIA. MIA, by the way, is Maserati’s Intelligent Assistant.

    MC20 stands for Maserati Corse 2020 (“Maserati Racing 2020”) and celebrates the Brand’s racing comeback. South Africans will not have to wait long as Maserati South Africa is expecting the new model to land early next year.

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

    • The totally bonkers Ferrari 812 Competizione was spotted in Bryanston today by Brad Ainge.

Priced around R14m depending on spec.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
