Hot on the heels of Maserati launching its Fuoriserie program a couple of months ago, designers from the Italian car manufacturer have released renderings of a rather unusual MC20. This MC20 has been designed as a concept with a focus on snow-driving. To prepare the mid-engined supercar for such conditions, a handful of modifications appear to have been made.
Most notably, the car has been finished in
a bright shade of orange that would help it stand out in the snow, as opposed
to blending in with the initial shade of white used in the launch car.
Additionally, Maserati’s designers have jacked up the ride height and fitted a
set of winter tires with studs to ensure the rear-wheel drive car can actually
put its power to the ground.
Rounding out the modifications is a roof
rack that can hold a pair of skis. The interior has also been trimmed in white
leather with a host of orange accents, including on the door panels, center
console and the outer edges of the seats. We doubt Maserati has any plans of
offering snow-focused parts for the MC20 through its FuoriSerie customization
program, but it will probably offer a selection of personalization options for
its customers.
The MC20 is powered by a mid-mounted
twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 producing 621 hp and 730 Nm of
torque. This engine is coupled to an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission
sending power to the rear wheels.
