Maserati unveiled its new MC20 supercar that boasts a body made mainly from lightweight carbon fiber and aluminum and a 630-horsepower turbocharged V6 engine.
The MC20, the company's first supercar in 15 years, has a top speed of 202 miles an hour and goes from 0 to 60 in under three seconds.
Prices for the car will start at about $210,000, much lower than Maserati's last supercar, the MC12, which cost almost $800,000.
The new MC20 was entirely developed by Maserati, including its engine, which is extremely powerful for its size and can run smoothly and quietly during day-to-day driving.
Maserati car engines were manufactured by Ferrari until 2015.
The new engine performs like those from Formula 1 cars where a spark plug ignites gasoline in a small separate chamber attached to each of the six cylinders that creates a flame that enters the cylinder through a series of small holes and heats the rest of the fuel and air in there.
Another spark plug inside the cylinder ignites the fuel in the normal way.
Depending on the car's power requirements at any given moment, the pre-ignition chamber can be used or not.
A fully-electric version of the MC20 would be introduced in 2022.
According to Maserati CEO Davide Grasso, Maserati plans to offer electric and gasoline versions of all its models.
In addition to the MC20, Maserati recently unveiled high-performance "Trofeo" versions of its Ghibli and Quattroporte sedans equipped with 580-horsepower engines, billed as the fastest Maserati sedans ever.
The MC20 will go into production this year and would be available in the US in the fall of 2021.
