Design
The Wind at Your Back
Bred to slice through wind, Maserati’s 2025 MC20 was shaped by full scale wind tunnel experiments that redefine the limits of aerodynamics. An ultra-light carbon monocoque makes up only 220 lb of its total 3,307 lb featherweight, creating a form that is faster, safer, and offers higher torsional and bending stiffness. Sharing a resemblance with its championship predecessor the MC12, the MC20 builds on an already iconic profile with dynamic details like a pronounced front splitter, stylish air vents, side air intakes, an elegant spoiler, and an underbody hump to increase downforce while shrugging off drag–all designed to work with the wind rather than against it, and assertively blaze forward without wasting an ounce of strength.
Freedom and Thrills
The Ferrari 296 GTB shows off the latest in its mid-rear-engined two-seater sports berlinetta concept, breaking the mold with aerodynamic details like its retractable spoiler that can either hide in the tail or raise for increased accelerative control. As with the MC20, lightweight materials like carbon fibre also help the 296 GTB soar with performance-enhancing weight reduction–the secret to making these highly-tuned speedsters so fun to drive.
Performance & Engineering
Seamless Shifting
Joining the MC12 in the MC20’s storied history is the legendary Tipo 26–the first car to proudly wear the Maserati badge. It’s no surprise, then, that the MC20 houses exceptional power levels that its DCT 8-Speed Gearbox keeps at your beck and call. Remarkably, mechanical or electronic Limited-Slip Differentials keep things elegant, enabling the MC20 to attain unthinkable heights of speed and power without blowing smoke.
Hybrid Versatility
Ferrari’s 296 GTB introduces the new 120° V6 engine, featuring an evenly-spaced, compact layout that reduces the distance air has to travel before it reaches the combustion chamber. The first Ferrari road car to feature plug-in hybrid architecture, the 296 GTB gains noticeable power from its new rear electric motor.
