A tribute to the history of the Trident in motorsport and in particular to its return to racing in 2004 with the MC12: Maserati MC20 Icona and MC20 Legend are the two special series of the latest sports car from the Modena brand created to pay homage to the successes of the Motor Valley brand , with 20 examples each boasting distinctive details.
The characteristics of the Maserati MC20 Icona
The MC20 Icona has a special livery that takes inspiration from the MC12 Stradale, with the same colors used in 2004 and a style that recalls the Maserati Trofeo Light that participated in the 24 Hours of Daytona, in turn a reference to the Maserati Birdcage Type 61 produced between 1959 and 1961. Various contents of the Fuoriserie customization program are present on the Bianco Audace Matte and Blu Stradale livery of the MC20 Icona: special and exclusive details, for refined customisation. The Maserati Fuoriserie logo in the Bianco Audace color stands out on the side of the livery, in the lower part near the rear wheels, while the Italian flag logo is positioned on the door, under the MC20 writing. In the center of the chrome wheels, with the particular trident design, the hubcaps are silver with a contrasting blue Trident logo. The brake calipers are also painted blue, the auto-dimming mirrors, the engine cover in carbon fiber.
Legend details
The outfit of the MC20 Leggenda instead pays homage to the MC12 GT1 Vitaphone, a Nero Essenza and Digital Mint Matte livery that pays homage to the car that managed to achieve 3 victories and 2 second places at the 24 Hours of Spa. The special Leggenda series boasts Trident wheels in Nero Gloss with Matt Black and Trident Digital Mint hubcaps, the Trident logo in yellow on the grille, doors and C-pillar, and finally the brake calipers painted in black. The Fuoriserie package of the two special series is completed with the racing interiors: lightweight 4-way monocoque racing seats – the central part in Black/Blue is on a silver background for Icona and in Black on a silver background for Legenda – and the headrest with the Trident embroidered together with the writing Icon or Legend, depending on the model. Both cars, powered by the V6 Nettuno, have a specific plate bearing the words “ICONA. ONE OF 20” and “LEGEND. ONE OF 20″. On board we then find an audio system created by Sonus Faber, with carbon fiber finishes for the passenger compartment. The two MC20s are also equipped with electronic self-locking differential (E-LSD), suspension lifter, blind stop & rear cross path systems, and finally front and rear trunk mats.
