MASERATI GB INTRODUCES SPORTIVO SPECIAL EDITIONS FOR LEVANTE AND GHIBLI London, 19 January 2021 — Maserati GB welcomes the start of the New Year with the introduction of the highly specified and desirable Sportivo Special Edition, available on the iconic marque's Levante SUV and Ghibli saloon models. Now in Maserati dealerships across the UK, the Sportivo Special Edition comes in two distinct and highly equipped variants, 'Sportivo' and 'Sportivo X'. While both trims offer customers a host of additional features, Sportivo X, takes the offering even further to create something truly desirable. Both trim levels are exclusive to Maserati's two most sought-after models, Levante V6 350HP and the recently introduced Ghibli Hybrid 330HP. All four Sportivo Special Editions, feature fixed specifications and give customers the choice of three stylish exterior metallic paint colour options; Grigio Maratea, Blu Emozione and Nero Ribelle.

36th EDITION OF THE FESTIVAL INTERNATIONAL: MASERATI MC20 AWARDED "Most beautiful supercar of the year" Paris, 26 January 2021 — This evening, the online awards ceremony for the Festival Automobile International was held with Maserati taking pride of place amongst the winners. The recently launched MC20, which premiered globally last September at the MMXX international show in Modena, received the award for the "most beautiful supercar of the year".

Maserati MC20

Klaus Busse, Maserati Head of Design, said, "We are honoured to receive this coveted accolade, which recognises the work of an entire team who have made a whole-hearted commitment to this unique project, creating a car that opens a new chapter in Maserati's history." MC20 is a mix of elegance, sporting prowess and personality, and a genuine masterpiece of style, which inaugurates a new era for the Trident Brand. Designed at the Centro Stile Maserati in Turin, the MC20 marks Maserati's return to the super sports car segment, with a car that combines mind-blowing performance, ground-breaking technology and audacious technical solutions. The MC20 is a model that identifies itself by its uniquely Italian character. A tasteful, pure concept, without stylistic excesses: the timeless design that has always been the signature of Maserati cars of all eras. The innate class and purity of its lines highlight a personality of sheer sporting brilliance: the upper part of the car is a sculpted artwork, while its lower section is a concentrate of pure technology. The MC20's design achieves a perfect balance between opposites, with the ideal mix between craftsmanship and engineering, which combines the unique quality of hand workmanship and the absolute precision of the most advanced production processes. Developed by the Maserati Innovation Lab and produced at the historic plant in Modena, MC20 is 100% made in Italy. The most distinctive feature of the new super sports car is its exclusive butterfly doors, which are not only aesthetically stunning but also provide the driver and passengers with easier access, both inside and outside the cabin. This super sports car is the first Maserati to have vertical headlights: a revolution in the brand's design criteria. The wide, low, horizontal rear light clusters are equally distinctive. MC20's superb looks conceal an uncompromisingly sporty soul, with the new 630hp V6 Nettuno engine that delivers 0-100 km/h acceleration in under 2.9 seconds and a top speed over 325 km/h: an engine 100% patented, conceived, designed and built entirely by Maserati.
