Maserati MC20: 2 beautiful special editions in tribute to the MC12

Maserati continues to celebrate its rich racing heritage with the presentation of two special editions of the MC20: the MC20 Icona and the MC20 Leggenda. These two limited-edition models pay tribute to the 20th anniversary of Maserati's triumphant return to the racetrack with the legendary MC12.

The legendary MC12

Remember, in 2004, after 37 years of absence, Maserati makes a stunning return to competition with the MC12. This supercar, initially launched as a road-going version, quickly made its mark on the tracks of GT championships. It also left an indelible mark with 27 victories in FIA GT championships, three triumphs in the Spa 24 Hours, and multiple FIA GT1 world championship titles. Designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro and with a Ferrari-derived V12 engine, the MC12 Stradale remains the fastest production car ever produced by Maserati, reaching a top speed of 330 km/h and accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds.
