Maserati’s stunning new sports coupe, the MC20, has just won the “Product Design of the Year” 2021 from the European Product Design Award.
The MC20 also was honoured with “Top Design Winner” in Transportation/Auto/Truck/Mobile Home and “Winner” in Transportation/Other Transportation Design categories.
The European Product Design Award is a design competition created to recognize the efforts of talented international product designers. Thousands of design projects from every corner of the globe are vetted and evaluated by the jury panel to select the most aesthetically exciting, functional, and innovative products.
Klaus Busse, Maserati Head of Design, said: ”Our mission was to design a car that would be remembered in the future as the model that launched the Maserati New Era. And I think we’ve achieved our goal with MC20. We are honoured to receive this coveted accolade, which recognises the work of an entire team, who have made a wholehearted commitment to this unique project."
The Maserati MC20 was designed and will be built in Italy.
MC20, designed by the Centro Stile Maserati in Turin, is a mix of elegance and sporting prowess. It has butterfly doors that look great but they also improve the car’s ergonomics and enable optimal access to and from the cabin.
The focus by Maserati on performance led to the conception of the MC20, a car with a distinct personality, refined aerodynamics, and unmistakable lines that render it unique.
The MC20 has a new 469kW V6 Nettuno engine that delivers 0 to 100 km/h acceleration in 2.88 seconds and a top speed over 326 km an hour. The patented engine was conceived, developed, designed, and built entirely by Maserati, and uses a pre-chamber combustion technology derived from Formula 1 engines.
The sports car is also 100% made in Italy, developed by the Maserati Innovation Lab, and built at the historic Modena plant.
