Maserati Takes Its MC20 Supercoupe Out for a Spin in the Snow
All 621 horsepower let loose at Ghiacciodromo Livigno.
With winter still very much underway in various parts of Europe, Maserati has seized the opportunity to take its latest MC20 supercoupe out for a spin in the snow, visiting Ghiacciodromo Livigno, a specialized ice driving school in Italy.
“During its cold-weather mission, the super sports car was tested to evaluate engine cold starting, the low-temperature performance of its elastic components and the car’s handling on cold and low-grip asphalt surfaces,” wrote the automaker in a statement. “The test is also performed to verify correct functioning of the Climate Control System in cold conditions; tests were also conducted on the battery, suspensions and brakes.”
Unveiled back in September last year, the MC20 is a supercoupe packing 621 horsepower thanks to an in-house, twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 Nettuno engine. Pushing 210 horsepower per liter, the V6 is one of the most power-dense engines in the world and can propel the car from 0-62mph in just 2.9 seconds, reaching top speeds of 202 mph.
Elsewhere in the automotive world, GM’s new Hummer EV has also joined in on the sub-zero fun.
