Maserati MC20, the first proper Maserati supercar in over 50 years | Top Gear Series 32
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Supercar looks, supercar doors, supercar price tag. The first mid-engined Maserati supercar for a generation... 0-62mph in 2.9 seconds, top speed of 202mph, but after 50 years out of the game, has Maserati nailed it with the MC20?

I saw one today and it was quite breathtaking coming towards me.
I must admit that I'm a bit biased because I love Maserati. Period. The Granturismo, the Quattroporte (5th gen with astonishing looks and a Ferrari 4.7 V8), the MC12, even the Ghibli is cute as a button but underpowered. Now the MC20 is a dream to me. No electric motors, RWD, an Italian design that puts sooooo many supercars to shame, a roar that makes sure to be heard and the almighty trident... Pure love!

I've never EVER been a maserati fan, I've always been a Shelby fan, and mclaren for supercars (765lt) BUT: IMO the MC20 is THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CAR MADE IN THE LAST 10 YEARS! Do you agree?
It has to go like Hell through the turns. It's a Maserati. Mission accomplished. Well done, Maserati.
This car is simply EPIC. The best looking vehicle on the market, drives like crazy. Chris approval also proves that car means the business.

considering the fact most supercars are mostly speed focused this is MC20 is a great take on a what a supercar really is... a fun toy for many can enjoy. not a super techy advanced car with just numbers... this car is a reminder of what a supercar really is meant to be, appreciate it maserati :) and i agree very much with chris' opinion.
He didn't mention the throttle response, which is the biggest superpower of this supercar.

the 911 handles great for its own formula. and beats most supercars.
Someone who's accustomed to the wilder super/hypercars of today might think this car is bit plain but I really like it's simplicity and focus.
I really hope Maserati go into gt3 racing with that model and produce some results with it so can build more hype around that car, which is seriously underrated in my opinion
The MC20 Cielo is my absolute favourite. I do like the Coupe, but I don't feel the temptation of owning one. The convertible Cielo version though, COUNT ME IN! WHAT A BEAUTY! 😍😍
As a proud Maserati owner this one here is the last masterpiece Maserati will create for its final gasoline motor before the switch to full EV ^ what were witnessing is a piece of history this will be a big future classic
They had the MC12 in the 2004/2005, so that's much less than 50 years out of the game. And it was built (like the MC20) to go back to GT racing.

Literally thinking the same thing watching this.
This car will still look gorgeous even 30 years from now, such a timeless design and so refreshing to see a sportscar that is not plastered with wings for once! Tbh i´m already kinda over all those tablesized swan-neck backwings.
Chris Harris, I must say, is the finest motoring journalist ever. I’m old school, a fan of Clarkson, Tiff Needell, Andrew Frankel, et. al. But I must say, every time a video is released by Chris via any of his associated channels, I am itching to watch what he has to say, and aside from the fact that he really knows his way around a car, he does give really very practical advice! A true journalist, a true car guy. Fair play, Chris.
Loved it! Does anyone notice that these super cars are the same as art? In 100 years, they will only be able to see them in museums and say to themselves, "Wow, how lucky they were to drive so many different masterpieces on gasoline."

My first Maserati experience was a demonstrator ride as a passenger,, with Danish racecar driver Jason Watt at the wheel, in a Maserati Shamal, on the highway near the city of Nærum, organised as a lottery win at an open house day at specialist cardealer Hersild & Heggov. Tremendous power from that generously installed V8, and classically styled leather interior.
I see Chris Harris, I click. Was about time!
The Nettuno injection system is the party piece. There is a pre-combustion chamber which allows to inject already ignited petrol and air mixture, into the mains combustion chambers. That's why this 3.0 liter v6 has more than 120 bhp than any other 3.0 liters twin-turbo!
I misjudged this car when it came out. It looks awesome and is very compact, very simple formula, and it works.
Fair play to Chris, he has adapted so well to being a TV presenter. But he is and always will be an automotive journalist at heart and his best work will always be his own, driven by passion and away from BBC scripts and direction.
Nice to see you Chris ! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The MC12 was an absolutely gorgeous supercar, put some respeck on its name
I love the way oit looks, it has MC12 heritage and Chris approves the driving characteristics- I approve too:)

the MC12 was a genuine super car and that came out in 2004
If it’s a Maserati, it better look damn good as it will be sitting most of the time
Nettuno is a pretty fricking badass name for engine though. They made this glorious machine and named it after Roman god of the Sea. Damn.
Looks so awesome..
The intake sound is great, but the exhaust needs just a bit more volume.

In another segment; we all would love to see Chris drive and review the new Z06 Corvette.
The MC20 is 90% the best at everything it does, and never drops the ball in any way. Where some supercars are the best at this or that, the Maserati is only "very good". Where other supercars fall short in one or many areas, the Maserati doesn't. Great car.
I've been following Chris Harris all over the internet for the better part of 10 years, and Top Gear is vastly improved with his presence, but I wish they weren't still shooting every episode like it's a History Channel dramatization from the mid-2000s The ramping and shakeycam is so aggressive it's almost boring
Thank you Mr Harris

A V6 can be a beast when you stack some turbos on it. I love my ecoboost F150. It pulls like a beast. The drivetrain will actually pull more than the truck will. I found that out the hard way.
Now that’s how you drive 🏆💯🏆
Think I’d still have the Bora, good tho the new MC20 may be I’d prefer the older ones.
