The Maserati MC20 will be touching down in SA during the course of 2022 and here’s how much you can expect to pay for this special supercar.

The Maserati MC20 supercar is quite a looker and the performance specifications put it right up there amongst the established segment players. Will Ferrari, Aston Martin, McLaren, Porsche and Lamborghini customers consider making the switch to this good-looking newcomer? That remains to be seen, but the outright pace has our attention.

How does 0-100 kph in under 2.9 seconds and a top speed of 325 kph grab you? This performance comes courtesy of a twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre petrol V6 with 463 kW and 730 Nm, and power is sent to the rear axle via an 8-speed dual-clutch ‘box. The secret to the vehicle’s performance is its low weight. At just under 1 500 kg, this Italian supercar weighs about the same as your standard Volkswagen Golf GTI. Inside, the MC20 features a driver-focused cabin.

We know that South Africa petrolheads are interested in the MC20, with 7 confirmed vehicles being built for SA and these units will be touching down during the course of the year. A convertible version of the MC20 has begun testing, and should be revealed in 2022.

Maserati SA will be having a busy year as not only does the flagship MC20 arrive, but also the Levante GT hybrid, which hits showrooms at the end of March 2022. This performance SUV with some green credentials will come in at R1 961 000.

Maserati SA has also confirmed the production version of its Grecale compact SUV will be heading to our shores in 2022 as well. As it stands, the current Maserati line-up comprises the Ghibli compact sports sedan, Levante SUV and Quattroporte sports sedan. All of the above are available in GT, Modena and Trofeo derivatives.
