Motoring mag evo has named its ‘Car of the Year 2022’ - and the award has gone to the Maserati MC20 supercar.
Scissor doors, a carbon fibre chassis, and a twin-turbocharged 3.0 litre ‘Nettuno’ V6 engine with power of 630 hp - there’s plenty to love about the MC20.
It’s a mid-engined two-seater that competes with the McLaren 720S, McLaren Artura, and the Ferrari F8 Tributo.
The MC20 will also accelerate from 0-62mph in just 2.9 seconds before throttling on to a top speed of 201 mph.
We were bowled-over by the MC20 when we got to run the rule over it earlier this year.
And it looks like evo mag has been suitably impressed, too.
Stuart Gallagher, editor of evo, commented: “In a year that delivered so many tantalising new performance cars from many established marques the Maserati MC20 was the cream that rose to the top of evo’s 2022 Car of the Year test.
“It’s a remarkable car that ignites a passion in the driver that Maserati is famed for. It oozes character, rewards the driver in everything it does and leaves you aching for another drive every time you step out of it. Throw in an exotic piece of Italian automotive design and you have the perfect recipe for both a brilliant driver’s car and eCoty champion.”
Fellow judge Steve Sutcliffe added: “It’s the car I’d most like to own of all the cars I’ve driven in the last 30 years.”
The Maserati MC20 was also praised for being a ‘car person’s car’ – ‘delivering excitement and emotion in spades, handling at all speeds, and how it so clearly differentiates itself from other supercars’.
Maserati welcomed the win, with Peter Charters, General Manager of Maserati North Europe, saying: “The MC20 is race-inspired and every detail heightens the connection between driver and car, in the driver’s seat nothing distracts from the sporty experience and it’s great that the evo judges felt this special connection”.
The MC20 is also available as a ‘Cielo’ convertible model.
