MC20 Icona: A Timeless Tribute
The MC20 Icona embodies the essence of the MC12 Stradale, the street-legal version of the race car. Its Bianco Avus paint, a distinctive color of the MC12, evokes a sense of timeless elegance. Maserati adds a touch of modernity with a new matte black finish on the top of the car, creating a striking visual contrast.
The interior of the MC20 Icona reflects the same commitment to fusing heritage with modern luxury. The seats are upholstered in a combination of black Alcantara® and white leather with a special diamond stitching pattern reminiscent of the MC12. Subtle but striking tri-color stitching on the headrests and center console further reinforces the connection to the MC12’s racing pedigree.
The MC20 Icona is not just about aesthetics; it retains the heart of the MC20. The award-winning Nettuno engine, a 630-horsepower twin-turbo V6, remains at the core, delivering thrilling performance and a dazzling driving experience.
MC20 Leggenda: A Salute to Racing Glory
The MC20 Leggenda takes a bolder approach, channeling the spirit of the MC12 GT1 race car. Its exterior features a captivating two-tone livery, with Nero Essenza black contrasted with a vibrant shade of matte Digital Mint. This color combination reflects the iconic Vitaphone Racing team livery, synonymous with the MC12’s racing triumphs.
The racing theme continues inside the cockpit of the MC20 Leggenda. Black leather seats are adorned with contrasting yellow stitching, reflecting the exterior livery. Carbon fiber accents throughout the interior further emphasize the car’s racing pedigree.
Like its sibling, the MC20 Leggenda retains the exceptional performance capabilities of the MC20. The Nettuno engine ensures a thrilling drive that lives up to the MC12’s racing legacy.
