Maserati's storied racing heritage is once again coming to life with the introduction of two special series: the MC20 Icona and MC20 Leggenda. These limited edition models celebrate the 20th anniversary of Maserati's triumphant return to the racing scene in 2004 with the iconic MC12, which marked Maserati's resurgence after a 37-year hiatus.

Inspired by the victorious MC12, the Maserati MC20 is a testament to the brand's commitment to excellence and innovation. The MC20, introduced in 2020, heralded a new era for Maserati with its groundbreaking V6 Nettuno engine. The super sports car's design and engineering drew from the legendary MC12, combining tradition with cutting-edge technology to create a modern masterpiece.
