Maserati MC20 arrives in South Africa

Maserati South Africa has entered a new era with the arrival of the first Maserati MC20 super sports cars.

The very first unit has been delivered to its new owner, finished in a multi-layer Bianco Audace paint and with a slew of unique carbon fibre detailing. A second MC20 is currently on display at Maserati House in Johannesburg, finished in the stunning Blu Infinito color.

“The Maserati MC20 welcomes a new era for Maserati, both globally and in South Africa. As a super sports car, the MC20 represents the pinnacle of performance and a return to Maserati-unique power plants with its Nettuno engine.”

“As a nameplate, it signals the return to racing in closed-wheel competitions for a brand that was born on the racetrack. And for Maserati South Africa, it opens the order book for the MC20, the Levante Hybrid and soon, the new Maserati Grecale,”

Each Maserati MC20 that a South African customer will receive in 2022 has been custom-designed and made just for them.

In order to design and specify their model as part of the Fuoriserie customization program, customers meet with the Maserati team in the Maserati Configuration Room. They can also go to the Modena manufacturing facility to watch their super sports car being made.

“The MC20 is completely bespoke and only available in very limited numbers globally. In this, as in its performance, design and motorsport heritage, it is a true successor to the legendary MC12,” says Nagesh.

The MC20 is a mid-engine super sports car that delivers 630 horsepower and 750 Newton metres in a carbon-bodied supercar weighing less than 1500 kg* to a select few. The top speed is over 326 km/h, and the sprint from zero to 100 km/h takes 2.88 seconds.

Topical tips on buying used – Chapter 1

Image
Buying a used car can be harrowing, whether privately or from a dealer. Here are some tips, as well as some things to watch out for. Beware of low mileages, especially on smaller or cheaper cars. It is always possible that the odometer has been turned back. Some things to bear in mind are:- diesels are often bought because they the driver needs to undertake long trips without consuming vast amounts of fuel. This could be a sales rep, or someone travelling large distances to work, lots of lengthy trip for family holidays, etc. So, usually higher mileages than normal. An expensive or luxury car may not see much time on the road, but very seldom a “workhorse”. This makes the executive cars likely to have a lot more life left than the overworked and abused hatchback. These also spend most of their life in a home garage or undercover parking lot at work.
