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.

Maserati Delivers Multi-Million Dollar 1-of-62 MCXtrema to owner at Monza Circuit
An exclusive affair Maserati's MCXtrema, its track-only variant of the Maserati MC20, is a sight to behold both in photos and in person. With extensive use of carbon fiber, cutting-edge aerodynamics, and a twin-turbocharged Nettuno V6 engine, the 2,756 lb MCXtrema boasts 730 hp sent through a 6-speed sequential manual transmission paired with a mechanical limited slip differential. And yes, it does have air conditioning. Of course, such a special affair must be a limited edition, which is why the MCXtrema is limited to only 62 units, reserved for some of Maserati's most loyal customers. One such lucky owner took delivery of his track beast at none other than the 'Italian Temple of Speed,' the Monza Circuit. Maserati MCXTrema — Source: Maserati A delivery experience to remember The car was customized to the owner's taste, with a reported 'Tech Beast' being the overall theme. The body is finished in a gloss-on-matte-effect blue up front and white at the rear, with a Trident on the hood and the number 44 on the door and rear fin. The interior sports a dark blue color with options like the passenger seat kit, rearview camera, and extra fan kit. Maserati MCXTrema — Source: Maserati 'MCXtrema is the ultimate expression of Maserati's DNA: a perfect mix of racing tradition, passion, and relentless innovation. To see this extraordinary car brought to life for a customer is a source of pride for the entire brand,' said Maria Conti, Head of Maserati Corse.

According to the automaker, this gives the owner the privilege of learning about what their car can do on track from professional drivers and Maserati Corse techs. Of course, it wouldn't be right to take such a car on track without the proper gear, so Maserati offered the owner a Sparco Racing Kit with a Maserati-branded racing suit, shoes, a helmet, and gloves.

I was privileged enough to see its unveiling in person at Monterey Car Week, and it's not something I'm likely to forget. It's also a really lovely gesture when automakers like Maserati arrange such special delivery events for their customers, although when you pay somewhere in the millions for a car like this, it's to be expected.

Maserati May Already Be Planning the MC20's Successor
It's wild to think that the Maserati MC20 is already five years old. The car made its official debut in September 2020, and the automaker might already be readying the supercar's successor. Maserati has recently filed a new trademark that sounds like a natural progression of the company's current naming scheme for its supercars. The Italian-based automaker filed a trademark application for " MC25 " to be used on cars and scale model vehicles with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. That seems like the perfect moniker for a new car that would debut this year. However, there's no public indication Maserati is preparing an MC20 successor as the company faces a chaotic industry. Maserati's Difficult Future Sales for the brand were down 57 percent last year , declining from 26,600 cars in 2023 to just 11,300 units in 2024. The brand has also culled its lineup in recent years, discontinuing best-sellers like the Levante and Ghibli, with replacements still a few years away. The company also had to fend off rumors last year that alleged Stellantis was preparing to sell the struggling brand. Stellantis then reiterated its commitment to Maserati in April, confirming that the brand was not for sale . It might not have the resources for a completely new car, but Maserati could easily make some significant upgrades to the MC20 for a new iteration.

A new iteration of the car featuring revamped styling, a new name, and other performance upgrades might be in the works. However, we'll have to wait for something official from the company.

Maserati Shines at FuoriConcorso with Stunning GT2 Stradale and MCXtrema
From 24 to 25 May, Maserati will be the leading light on Lake Como with the GT2 Stradale and MCXtrema. This will be the first time it has taken part in FuoriConcorso, a prestigious automotive event held annually since 2019 at the historic residences of Villa del Grumello and Villa Sucota, attracting thousands of collectors, experts, car enthusiasts and fans of 'beauty'. Every year, the event highlights a different aspect of automotive history and creativity with a line-up of customised, iconic, rare and unreleased cars and prototypes. The theme this year is 'Velocissimo – Italian Race Cars'. an evocative tribute to the most representative racing cars that have made motorsport history. The two Trident cars on display fit in perfectly: the new GT2 Stradale and the exclusive MCXtrema, the epitome of performance as part of the brand's DNA. While FuoriConcorso stands out for its refined atmosphere and display of iconic, rare cars often never seen before cars, from private collections and prestigious car manufacturers, Maserati finds its natural environment here to present two extraordinary creations that strike the right balance between elegance and limitless performance. The new GT2 Stradale, on show in the refined 'Bianco Audace' livery created by Officine Fuoriserie Maserati, represents the evolution of sportiness not only on the track. Created as the road-legal version of the GT2 that took the House of the Trident back to racing and victory in closed-wheel championships, it is a mixture of the two iconic worlds of Maserati, those of elegance and racing. It embodies the brand's racing spirit and at the same time offers comfort and driving pleasure for everyday use. With an output of 640 CV, acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.7 seconds and a top speed of over 320 km/h, the GT2 Stradale also stands out for its weight, reduced by 60 kg compared to the MC20. Courtesy of the extraordinary V6 Nettuno engine, which can achieve 640 CV (471 kW) in the latter configuration, the GT2 Stradale is the most powerful road-going Maserati with an internal combustion engine. Alongside, a Maserati MCXtrema is on show with all the expressive power of its classic 'Blu Extrema' livery. Not type-approved to be driven on the road, the car is designed for the most discerning of collectors or for gentleman drivers seeking the utmost exhilaration on the track. Produced in a limited edition of only 62 units, the MCXtrema is a racing 'beast' thanks to the sheer power of its formidable 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 engine – derived from the Nettuno and in this case pushed to the limit – that can deliver 740 CV. The car on display at Villa Sucota is a unique and distinctive manifestation of the pinnacle of Maserati performance, a creative combination of mechanical mastery, technical cleanliness, irresistible beauty, competitive grit and refined aerodynamics. Two cars, two spirits, the GT2 Stradale and MCXtrema, but only one Trident. By taking part in FuoriConcorso 2025, Maserati celebrates its vision of luxury, innovation and passion for driving in a unique setting, where art, beauty and engines come together. Maserati S.p.A. Maserati produces a complete range of unique cars, immediately recognizable for their extraordinary personality. Thanks to their style, technology, and innately exclusive character, they delight the most discerning, demanding tastes and have always been a benchmark for the global automotive industry. A tradition of successful cars, each of them redefining what makes an Italian sports car in terms of design, performance, comfort, elegance, and safety, currently available in more than 70 markets internationally. Maserati line-up includes the Grecale, the 'everyday exceptional' SUV, the GranTurismo, the iconic Italian grand tourer, and the GranCabrio, the new convertible of the Trident; all models characterized by the use of the highest quality materials and excellent technical solutions. A range equipped with 4-cylinder hybrid powertrains – available for Grecale – and V6 petrol, with rear-wheel and four-wheel drive, embodying the performance DNA of the Trident brand. The top of the range is made up of the MC20 super sports car and the MC20 Cielo spyder, powered by the ground-breaking 100% Maserati Nettuno V6 engine, which incorporates F1-derived technologies into the power unit of a standard production car for the first time. The GranTurismo is available with both the high-performance V6 petrol engine, derived from the Nettuno, and a 100% electric version: the GranTurismo Folgore, the first car in the Modena-based brand's history to adopt this solution. The full-electric range also currently includes the Grecale Folgore, Maserati's first 100% electric SUV, and the GranCabrio Folgore. Finally, the House of the Trident's latest addition is the Maserati GT2 Stradale, the road-legal version of the GT2 that took Maserati back to the track in closed-wheel championships. The heart of the new super sports car is the V6 Nettuno engine, reaching 640 hp (471 kW) in the latter configuration. The GT2 Stradale is therefore the most powerful road-going Maserati with an internal combustion mission at Maserati is to write the future of mobility in the luxury segment, focusing on its customers' requests. ظهرت المقالة Maserati Shines at FuoriConcorso with Stunning GT2 Stradale and MCXtrema أولاً على المفتاح الاقتصادي.
