Maserati designs track-focused MC20 for Pebble Beach Concours

Monterey Car Week will be packed with new cars, and we can add one more to that list, as Maserati has announced plans to launch a new “supercar.” The car will be unveiled on August 16th at The Quail Motorsports Gathering.

The company isn’t revealing much at this point, but has confirmed that the model is “an evolution of the MC20” and will inherit the spirit of the GT2 race car. So it’s not surprising to see the front fender vents and carbon fiber splitter. Turning up the brightness, we can also see blue brake calipers and what looks like a vented hood.

While there isn’t much to say, Maserati has plenty of hyperbole in its marketing. They say the car is “state-of-the-art” and will have “innovative technical solutions” as well as “impressive aerodynamics, typical of the fastest, most exciting racing cars.” They go on to describe the mystery model as a “one-of-a-kind car with a unique aesthetic defined by extensive customization options.”

While Maserati wouldn’t reveal specifics, they did say the car is a road-legal production model and that it will “retain the typical details of a racing car without sacrificing the comfort and character of a road-going model.”

We’ll learn full details later this month, but the standard MC20 is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 with 621 hp (463 kW / 630 PS) and 538 lb-ft (730 Nm) of torque. It’s coupled to an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, enabling the coupe to accelerate from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in 2.9 seconds and reach a top speed of over 202 mph (325 km/h).
