Maserati Teases The MC20's Successor
Fans of the Trident brand will be pleased to hear that the Modenese automaker has plenty to show visitors at this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed, including what appears to be a new version of the Maserati MC20 supercar. Our perspective is that this will be a 'new' car, albeit in the same way that the Ferrari Amalfi is a new Roma - i.e., the MC20 would be sharpened, mildly restyled, and subtly renamed. Officially, all we have to go on is a teaser image, an Instagram post, and a statement: "The House of the Trident will unveil a world debut of a new and authentic expression of energy crafted in the true Maserati way." Let's examine the solitary teaser image. This shows an intake behind a door shut line and below the Trident badge, and it has exactly the same shape as the one on the current 'regular' MC20 (not the GT2 Stradale or the wild MCXtrema, both of which will wow the crowds as they take on the famous Goodwood Hillclimb). The only difference we see is a slight lip on the top edge of the teaser vehicle's intake, so we expect most visual changes to be subtle. The Instagram post has the same image as Maserati's press release, but overlaid with Albert Einstein's equation that underpins the theory of equivalence between mass and energy, E=mc². Is this Maserati's way of saying that it's about to add an electric motor and battery to the MC20, turning it into a hybrid? Possibly, and if so, the use of Einstein's formula may indicate that Maserati will add enough power to overcome the unavoidable weight penalty. Alternatively, the equation could indicate that the new car will be lighter, even if it's not necessarily more powerful. Whatever it means, Maserati describes the upcoming arrival as having a "sharper form" and "unfiltered soul" for "a new MC chapter." Related: Stellantis Squashes Rumors of Plan to Sell Maserati The MC20 arrived in 2020, so it makes sense to introduce the MC25 in 2025, and if a trademark filing at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (discovered by CarBuzz last month) is anything to go by, that's exactly what will happen. We can't be certain that the MC25 will be electrified, but with emissions regulations constantly tightening in Europe and Maserati's all-electric MC20 Folgore being canned due to low demand, perhaps it should. Maserati's announcement concludes with talk of innovation and says that the debutant it will reveal at Goodwood will mark a significant milestone in the brand's "journey of renewal." We'll let you know what that really means on Thursday, July 10. Copyright 2025 The Arena Group, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

At HT Auto, we are dedicated to delivering the most relevant and current information as it becomes available. Below is a concise overview of the key highlights from Sunday, June 15. India may ease EV localisation rules as China's rare earth export curbs hit supply chain India is mulling easing its 50 per cent localisation requirement for electric vehicle (EV) makers and suppliers as the country is faced with global rare earth supply chain disruptions. The decision follows China's recent export curbs on rare earth elements—key materials employed in manufacturing magnets for electric motors.

Maserati planning successor to MC20 supercar, files patent for MC25
Maserati MC20 , the supercar from the Italian luxury car manufacturer, is already five years old. The Maserati MC20 made its official debut in September 2020, and the automaker seems to be working on the supercar's successor. Maserati has recently filed a new trademark for the nomenclature MC25 with the US Patent and Trademark Office. This sounds like a natural progression of the auto company's current nomenclature scheme for its supercars. The Italian automaker filed a trademark application for MC25 with the USPTO, which will be used on cars and scale model vehicles. It seems like the perfect moniker for a new model from the brand that would debut this year. However, there's no public indication that Maserati is working on an MC20 successor. While some speculations are that Maserati is working on the success of the MC20, the MC25 might come as a significantly upgraded version of the existing model. The automaker previewed what could be possible with the powertrain back in 2023 with the MCXtrema, a track-only supercar making 730 bhp peak power from the Nettuno twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 engine. Expect the new iteration of the supercar to come featuring revamped styling, a new name, and other performance upgrades that might be in the works. Maserati has been going through a troubled time as the automaker registered a whopping 57 per cent sales slump last year compared to what it recorded in the previous year. In 2024, Maserati sold only 1,300 units of cars, down from 26,600 units sold in 2023. Maserati has also culled its product lineup in recent years, discontinuing bestselling cars like the Levante and Ghibli, with replacements for them still a few years away. Besides that, in 2024, Maserati also had to fend off rumours that alleged Stellantis was preparing to sell the struggling OEM. However, Stellantis has later reiterated its commitment to Maserati in April, confirming that the brand was not for sale. Check out Upcoming Cars in India 2024, Best SUVs in India.

Machete-, shotgun-wielding man shot by officers in Macon arraigned
MACON, Ill. (WCIA) — A man from Macon is now facing formal charges following an incident in that village last week that left him shot and an officer hurt. Oscar McCurry Jr. has since been identified as the person who, on May 3, was armed with a knife when Decatur Police confronted him in a gas station parking lot. McCurry allegedly ran from officers, stole a Macon County Sheriff's squad car, rammed a Decatur Park Police squad car and pointed a police-issued shotgun at officers, prompting them to open fire on him. Second woman involved in Mattoon nursing home crash dies After being hospitalized, McCurry was booked into the Macon County Jail over the weekend on preliminary charges of attempted murder, aggravated battery to a peace officer and unlawful possession of a firearm. On Monday, he made an initial appearance in court and was arraigned on the following formal felony counts: Aggravated unlawful possesion of a weapon Felon in possesion of a weapon Aggravated battery/use of a deadly weapon Aggravated battery to a peace officer Possesion of a stolen vehicle Possesion of a stolen firearm A sworn statement filed in the case, signed by Sheriff's Sergeant David Pittenger, also revealed new details about the confrontation with McCurry and their attempts to negotiate with him. Deputies responded to the P&V gas station in Macon on May 3 in reference to a person with a machete who had crashed their car into a semi-truck. Pittenger said McCurry, whose machete was still in a sheath, told deputies he believed his daughter was being held inside the cab of the semi and was being sexually assaulted, which is why he crashed his car into the semi. The owner of the semi allowed deputies into the cab, and they found no one inside. Pittenger said this information still wasn't enough to convince McCurry his children weren't in danger. A deputy called McCurry's girlfriend to get him to calm down, but right as a deputy got off the phone with her, McCurry ran from the gas station and into the middle of U.S. Route 51. A deputy maneuvered their squad car onto the southbound lanes of the highway to block traffic at Andrews Road. Danville man sentenced to prison for aggravated domestic battery, battery while detained Pittenger said McCurry had unsheathed his machete and was standing in front of the squad car that had blocked traffic; the deputy inside quickly got out to put distance between him and McCurry. McCurry, who made suicidal statements, refused to put the machete down despite numerous commands to do so. 'A short time later, Oscar opened the driver's side door of the deputy's vehicle,' Pittenger said. 'Deputies observed Oscar then get into MSO squad car MC25 and drive away at a high rate of speed.' Pittenger said McCurry didn't get far, initially driving around in circles before driving west on Andrews Street and north on Wall Street. However, he aimed MC25 at multiple other squad cars, forcing the deputies driving them to take evasive action. One of those squad cars ended up in a roadside ditch. McCurry's ride came to an end when he rammed a Decatur Park Police car on Wall Street a quarter mile south of Route 51, disabling MC25 and the Decatur Park Police car. But while the ride was still happening, McCurry got his hands on the department-issued shotgun inside, which Pittenger said McCurry was holding as he exited the squad car. 'Oscar ignored all commands given by deputies [to drop the shotgun], at which time deputies fired their department-issued weapons at Oscar,' Pittenger said. 'At that time, Oscar dropped the shotgun but retrieved a knife from his pocket while still standing in the roadway.' Taylorville Police arrest 'dangerous felon' after tracking him to their city McCurry again refused demands to drop the knife, but Pittenger said he was taken into custody a short time later. Having been shot during the incident, McCurry was initially transported to Decatur Memorial Hospital for treatment of the gunshot wounds and then to a hospital in Springfield for injuries sustained in the crash. The Decatur Park Police officer who was hurt in the collision with MC25 was also taken to Decatur Memorial. He is expected to be okay. A week after the incident, a visibly injured McCurry was booked into the Macon County Jail. A check into his criminal history revealed that McCurry has a prior felony burglary conviction out of Oregon. In court on Monday, Judge Lindsey Shelton found that pretrial detention was necessary for McCurry and ordered him to remain in custody as his court case continues. A preliminary hearing was scheduled for May 28. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
