Maserati MC20 specs

Chris Harris plus Maserati MC20=😲

Bone stock. Car is a beast at the track! I know I own it!
With some added negative camber in the front and 10 mm wider tires all the way around and dropping a little weight with a lithium battery. It’s going to be extremely fast!

Quote>Maserati has revealed the long-promised convertible version of its recently launched MC20 supercar, which features a unique ‘smart glass’ panel in its folding roof.

Called the MC20 Cielo (Italian for 'sky'), it will face off with a diverse crop of highly strung mid-engined convertibles, including the Chevrolet Corvette Convertible, Ferrari 296 GTS and McLaren 720S Spider.

Maserati says its first convertible model since the V8-engined Grancabrio bowed out in 2019 “is a model devoted to driving pleasure in the great outdoors", highlighting its folding roof window that can change from clear to opaque at the touch of a button.

It can go from open to closed in just 12sec, making it just one second slower than the 720S Spider’s but still among the quickest of any convertible on sale.

Apart from the roof, the MC20 Cielo is technically identical to the Maserati MC20 coupé, taking its power from Maserati's new 621bhp twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre V6, the Nettuno.

The high-revving mid-mounted powerplant will propel the MC20 Cielo from 0-62mph in around 3.0sec.

The carbonfibre tub and butterfly doors are also carried over and the roof mechanism adds just 65kg to the total kerbweight, which is posted at 1540kg.

No pricing details have been announced, but the convertible is expected to be slightly more expensive than the coupé, which costs £187,230.

The Cielo is the second of three planned variants of the MC20, alongside the coupé and soon-to-be-revealed electric variant.

“The Cielo offers a perfect mix of sportiness and luxury, courtesy of a specification unique to the segment: the innovative retractable glass roof,” Maserati said.

“In actual fact, the new spyder acts as a meeting point between Maserati audacity and the infinite sky, featuring a special ‘sky feeling’.”

Maserati MC20 "Cielo" Spider!

Someone add it! Can't be bothered LOL!😂💯

Quote>"Maserati MC20 Recall Is A Classic Italian Stereotype MAY 2, 2022."

Further>"The Maserati MC20 is the dawn of a new era for the brand. A mid-engined supercar powered by a 621-horsepower twin-turbo V6 and built on a platform that caters to electrification is a guaranteed way to futureproof a halo model, especially when it looks as sexy as the MC20 does. But Maserati won't like the fact that the MC20 hasn't had the easiest start to its life, and despite being new to the market, it's already racking up recalls.

The first was in November last year when a fire risk for models across the Maserati brand also included the MC20, but the supercar has now suffered another recall, albeit far less severe.

We'll wait for the jokes in the comments section, as this new recall pertains to the electronics; Italian cars are known for reliable electronics, right? According to the NHTSA, 56 MC20s, which are all sold out for 2022, have faulty taillights that the agency says may flicker under certain braking conditions. Always on the cautious side, the NHTSA says that the risk of a crash is heightened as a following car may not see when you are slowing down.

Considering the MC20's carbon-ceramic brakes, replete with six-piston front and four-piston rear calipers from Brembo, can stop the supercar from 62 mph in just 108 feet, a lesser car traveling too close behind would need all the warning it can get in the event of an emergency stop."

Etc.

My estimated lap times
Motor Trend Figure-8: 23.1 sec @ 0.97 G
Nürburgring Nordschleife: 7:25
Top Gear Test Track (Power Lap): 1:17

How I estimated the lap times
Figure-8: (((((((900/(30/26)x(1780x2.20462262))/0.014)/619))/0.875)/1.15)x0.85x0.62)x1.25

A little harder to solute the math problem for the MC20 than for the other cars since it is quite a heavy car, so I mulitplied by 1.25 to get the 23.1-sec result. Multiplication by 1.2 or lower will get highly inaccurate results.

Peak grip at 30 mph is 1.15 G, so 1.15 G multiplied by maximum slope angle of 85% divided by 100 is 0.97 G not rounded up.

Nordschleife: ((20600m/(300km/h/(360m*0.3048m))x(1780kg/619hp)/1.17g)x0.0095x0.525

Lap time estimate could improve to 7:04 on semi-slicks.

Power Lap: ((3760lb+75kg)/619hp)x((1.75mi)x12)x.85x.7

Contrary to popular belief, the MC20 is more of a grand tourer than a supercar, so don't expect GT3- or Huracan-level results on the track.

P.S. I am working on Figure-8, Nordschleife, and even Top Gear test track estimates - all of which are under development.

Maserati is not completely lying about their 1500kg weight number. Indeed it does weigh that less in dry format, but the problem was indirectly accounted into their lack of specifying whether that was dry or kerb.

https://www.maserati.com/international/en/models/mc20

It says "total vehicle weight" of 1500 kg, but nothing more. The engine weighs 220 kg, so 1500+220 = 1720 kg, a little heavier than C/D's test number but very close.

I really wonder who would win? 2020 Corvette C8 or this car.

0-170 mph in 22.7 seconds also could be added.

https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/comparison-test/a39574054/2022-maserati-mc20-vs-2021-porsche-911-turbo-s-lightweight-compared/

by any chance do you guys know the top speed?

Car and Driver 0-100MPH= 6.7 seconds.
Auto.It 0-160km/h= 6.1 seconds.
Quattroroute 0-160km/h= 5.7 seconds.

So far.

This is HOW the Maserati MC20 can bend the laws of time and space and DEFY physical laws!>

Formula ONE technologies. This is reality! Your acceptance is not required!🙃

LOL! That's one of the reasons I Love Fastestlaps you just don't know which way the research takes you? I was "supposed" to be looking elsewhere. But if a THIRD set of verified times turn up for an already established project, well you drop everything and look at those, instead of something not even in production or delivered, right?

In between the daily routine, ofcourse. ;)

So Car and Driver achieved 0-100MPH in 6.7 including SpeedKing "tax" (😂) and Europe's finest Quattroroute to 160km/h got 5.7 seconds NO Speedking "tax?".

1 second difference?😍

Somebody give one to Motortrend magazine? I don't think the other American publications timings are "right".

Where as Quattroroute are UNIMPEACHABLE. And David Beckham has definitely endorsed Maserati! For cash!😍

OK forget it. Give one to Autocar to test out! They'll SMASH it under 6 seconds with TWO passengers!😂

The MC20 does 0-100 in 2.8, 100-120 in 0.8, 120-140 in 1.0, 140-160 in 0.9 (probably shifts gears at around 130kmph), and 160-180 in 1.5. This means it will do 180-200 in 2.1 which equates to a full 0-200 in 9.3.

((0.8+1.0+0.9+1.5)÷4)×2 = 2.1

The MC20 is not able to do the quartermile in 10.5s at all, with or without rollout, and even if it could, VHT dragstrip results ARE NOT the same as real-life results. Otherwise, we'll have to accept NHRA-certified results for American muscle cars like the Shelby GT500 and Hellcat family tree too.

EVEN if it could do 0-100 in 2.8 and 0-200 in 9.3, a 10.4x 400m time would require a 10.0:1 factor because 10.44 to the first 400m = 2.8+9.3÷(2.8+9.3)×10×(1.6/1.609344), whereas a 10.5:1 factor equates to a 10.82s 400m time, but that will mean the 0-100 is too optimistic for the 0-400m time.

Now, yeah it does do 0-100 in 2.8, but only with the rollout subtracted. With the same 100-200 as posted (or implied) in Auto Magazine, it does do the first 400m in 10.59s EXCLUDING the rollout figure of 0.23s, + 10.82s INCLUDING the rollout.

Basically, the MC20 will just BARELY do the true 0-100 in under 3.1. This is proven by highly credible mags like Quattroruote and Car & Driver.

If I were the admin, I would delete the Auto.it results.

Lol, the website has the MC20 "total car weight <1500kg"

That's a lot of BS. Firstly the word "total" implies the whole functional car.
But we know it's actually dry weight that they are talking about.

According to Maserati, my "total weight" is under 35kg. Because more than half of my "functional form mass" is wet weight.

I've seen this car in person recently, and it's absolutely beautiful! Even better than on pictures.
However US version is quite heavy with ~1700 kg:

Maserati GRECALE SUV is HERE!>

0-300 time should be good

It's crazy to think, this is lighter than any new Ferrari you can buy right now for the road...
