Limited editions mark anniversary

Maserati's racing vocation brings to life the MC20 Icona (pictured left) and MC20 Leggenda, two special series to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Trident's 2004 return to competition with the victorious MC12.

The MC12, first launched in a road version and destined to leave its mark on the track by becoming a benchmark in GT championships, inspired the Maserati MC20 super sports car. The 100 per cent made in Italy halo car marked the beginning of a new era for Maserati in 2020, as the first model equipped with the innovative V6 Nettuno engine.

The two MC20 special series – in a limited edition of 20 units each – feature special liveries and exclusive content inspired by the MC12 Stradale and MC12 GT1 Vitaphone respectively.

The Fuoriserie package for the two special series is completed with lightweight four-way monocoque racing seats and Sonus faber sound system.

Other features shared by both versions include a carbon fibre interior package, electronic limited-slip differential (E-LSD), suspension lifter, blind stop and rear cross path systems.

The MC20 Icona and MC20 Leggenda celebrate the anniversary of the beginning of a golden age for the Trident on the track.

Between 2004 and 2010, the MC12 GT1 took 27 victories in the FIA GT Championships, was on the 24 Hours of Spa roll of honour on three occasions, and won six teams’ championships with Vitaphone Racing and five drivers' championships – including two FIA GT1 World Championships – as well as two constructors' championships for Maserati.
