2021 Maserati MC20 debuts with mysterious origin story
Just like Ferrari, Maserati had a rep as a quintessential Italian sports car manufacturer. But unlike Ferrari, its Fiat stablemate, Maserati has been going through a slump for years, with only the gorgeous-yet-dated front-engined Gran Turismo/Grand Cabrio keeping their “sports car” credentials alive. When we stepped into a Maserati showroom last month, we walked out in a few minutes — it felt like travelling back to 2015, because the only model newer than that was the already-aging Levante SUV. So it came as a surprise when Maserati debuted their all-new mid-engined supercar, the Maserati MC20, which comes with petrol, electric and convertible options as well as a shady history even before it hits showrooms.
