It’s no secret that Maserati is developing its next super sports car and now the luxury automaker has confirmed that the car will be called the MC20, which stands for ‘Maserati Corse 2020’.
Set to be unveiled at the end of May, the MC20 marks a new era for Maserati and also its return to racing after 10 years of absence.
