When Carwow lines up a Maserati MC20 against a Porsche 911 GT3 RS, you'd expect the German track queen to get the better of the Italian exotic. And yet...<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On paper, the poster is misleading: although their base price is virtually identical, at around \u20ac250,000, these two sports cars have very little in common.<\/strong> The Porsche 911 GT3 RS is a radical machine, born to swallow vibrators and break circuit records thanks to its active aero, honed chassis and 525 hp naturally-aspirated flat-six engine. The Maserati MC20, on the other hand, plays the Italian supercar card: a 630 hp twin-turbo Nettuno V6, sculptural lines and a clear objective: to combine elegance with explosive performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On paper, it's no surprise<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The figures speak for themselves:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In terms of technical specifications, the match was decided even before the start: the Maserati<\/a> is more powerful, more torquey and more aerodynamic in a straight line. But in the world of Porsche, the GT3 RS was never designed to shine in a straight line... its playground is corners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A duel that confirms the logic of the figures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the video, the scenario is crystal clear: from a standing start, despite the Porsche's excellent launch, the MC20's turbo always ends up swallowing the GT3 RS. Over the quarter-mile, the Maserati slams a clear 11.0s, while the Porsche finishes at 11.2s. The same gap is repeated on the restart: once the turbo is full, the MC20 escapes like an \"Italian killer\", as summed up in a YouTube comment that's already racked up hundreds of likes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
