Maserati MC20 Is Maserati MC20 is British GQ’s “Super Sports Car of The Year” London, 2 February 2021 – Today in London the GQ Car Awards 2021 were announced with the Maserati MC20 being honored as the Super Sports Car of The Year. In place of the usual ceremony, the awards were broadcast on British GQ’s IGTV. According to British GQ the "Maserati has an allure that refuses to be extinguished and the release of the MC20 proves the brand is once again red hot. All-new, technically fascinating, and with a mid- mounted 626bhp twin-turbo V6, the MC20 is classy, charismatic and alternative." Davide Grasso, Maserati CEO, added “The launch of the MC20 last year heralded a new era for Maserati, and we’re delighted that the hard work put in by the team has been recognized by British GQ. We’re proud of what this award means for Maserati and we’re very much looking forward to our brave new future with this first-of-its-kind car. We are innovative by nature, powered by passion and unique by design. These are the same values that spurred the Maserati brothers over 106 years ago, and they are the same values that from Modena take flight and put Maserati in the spotlight of the global mobility stage.” Designed at the Centro Stile Maserati in Turin, the MC20 heralds a new era for Maserati and the brand’s return to the super sports car segment, with a car that combines mind-blowing performance, ground-breaking technology and audacious technical solutions. Developed by the Maserati Innovation Lab and produced at the historic plant in Modena, MC20 is 100% made in Italy. Its superb looks conceal an uncompromisingly sporty soul, with the new 630hp V6 Nettuno engine that delivers 0-100 km/h acceleration in under 2.9 seconds and a top speed over 325 km/h. The patented engine has been conceived, developed, designed and built entirely by Maserati and uses a pre-chamber technology derived from Formula 1 engines. With the new super sports car MC20, the Trident Brand officially started a new era. Maserati S.p.A. Maserati produces a complete range of unique cars with an amazing personality, immediately recognisable anywhere. With their style, technology and innately exclusive character, they delight the most discerning, demanding tastes and have always been a global automotive industry benchmark. A tradition of successful cars, each of them redefining what makes an Italian sports car in terms of design, performance, comfort, elegance and safety, currently available on more than seventy markets internationally. Ambassadors of this heritage are the Quattroporte flagship, the Ghibli sports sedan, now also available in hybrid version, the Trident Brand’s first electrified car, and the Levante, the first made by Maserati SUV, all models denoted by use of the choicest materials and technical solutions of superlative excellence. A complete range, including V6 and V8 petrol, 4 cylinder hybrid and V6 diesel powerplants, with rear-wheel and four-wheel drive. The range’s prestige was recently even further enhanced by the introduction of the new Trofeo Collection, comprising Ghibli, Quattroporte and Levante, equipped with the powerful 580 hp V8 engine. The top-of-the-range is the new MC20 supercar, powered by the ground-breaking Nettuno V6 engine, incorporating F1-derived technologies now made available in the power unit of a standard production car for the first time. Today, the Maserati range is produced at three plants: Ghibli and Quattroporte are built at Grugliasco (Turin) at the Avvocato Giovanni Agnelli Plant (AGAP), and Levante at the Mirafiori Plant in Turin. The new MC20 supercar is produced in Modena, at the historic Viale Ciro Menotti plant.

    ALFA OCCIDENTALE Issue 42, November 2020 At the “Bend Classic” on 5-6 September 2020, three 105-series Alfas were seen competing in the Classic Production class. Shown in the top photo is Kerry Gascoigne’s 1969 GTV 1750, while some hot competition between Sean Rowland’s 1969/70 Giulia GTV and Ron Guppy’s 1972 GTV 2000 is seen in the lower photo. The Bend had scheduled a locals-only race meeting, but on Fathers’ Day weekend, while social distancing and state border restrictions still remained in South Australia due to Covid-19. That might seem a recipe destined for limited success, but car racing had been on hold for six months at SA’s ‘The Bend Motorsport Park’. Over seventy entries signed up in six categories for two days of timed sprints on the new 3.41km West Circuit, while the public took full advantage of free spectator admission.
