Motor Valley Fest - “THE ART OF INNOVATION”, the widespread festival of the Land of Motors of Emilia-Romagna, raises the curtain on the 2022 edition.
Maserati enters the new Era with MC20, the new super sports car that combines performance, sportiness and luxury in the unique Maserati style. MC20 was presented to the world in Modena on 9 September during the “MMXX: Time to be audacious” event.The new MC20 (MC for Maserati Corse and 20 for 2020, the year of its world première and the start of the Brand’s new Era) is the Maserati everyone was waiting for. It is a car with incredible aerodynamic efficiency, which conceals a sporty soul, with the new Nettuno engine, a 630 horsepower V6 with torque of 730 Nm that delivers 0-100 km/h acceleration in under 2,9 seconds and a top speed over 325 km an hour. An engine that signals Maserati’s return to producing its own power units after a hiatus of more than 20 years.The MC20 is an extremely lightweight car under 1,500 kg (kerb weight), and thanks to its power output of 630 hp it comes out best in class in weight/power ratio, at just 2.33 kg/hp. This record is achieved through the use of choice quality materials, exploiting all the potentials of carbon fibre without any sacrifices with regard to comfort.Nettuno, the first engine in this new chapter of the Trident's history, is the MC20's twin turbo V6, a technologic gem already awarded an international patent, which puts the MTC (Maserati Twin Combustion) technology, the ground-breaking combustion system developed in-house, onto the world's roads.

The names themselves whisper automotive passion to car enthusiasts. Ferrari. Lamborghini. Ducati. Pagani. Maserati. Dallara. Alfa Romeo. Many of those enthusiasts may not realize it, but all these Italian sports car (and motorcycle) companies are based within a 90 minute drive of each other, within Italy’s renowned Motor Valley, where dream machines and multi-coloured cam covers are made.The famous classic car Mille Miglia annual rally runs through this Terra dei Motori area every May, starting in Brescia before a grueling three-day (if all goes well), 1,600 km loop of Italian cities and countryside, in a timed run to Rome and back on mostly public roads. From a tourist perspective, the Mille Miglia is best known for its triumphant arrivals in various Italian cities, where locals leave home and work to gather to cheer on the arrival of over 400 classic cars, the crowds waving Mille Miglia flags.
Maserati is one of the world's most glamorous automotive manufacturers, rich in tradition and sporting successes. It was founded on December 1st, 1914 in Bologna, Italy by Alfieri Maserati, together with his brothers Ettore and Ernesto, as a car engineering workshop called "Officine Alfieri Maserati". Nowadays Maserati cars are built at three different locations. The historic plant in Viale Ciro Menotti, Modena which opened in 1939, produces the GranTurismo and GranCabrio sports cars, while the Maserati Avv. Giovanni Agnelli Plant in Grugliasco (Turin) constructs the Quattroporte and Ghibli sedans. The Levante, the first SUV in Maserati's history, is produced on its own new line in the Mirafiori complex.
