Maserati has released images of its test engineers unleashing the MC20 sports car’s 630HP 3-litre V6 power on low-grip surfaces. The MC20 is undergoing a series of reliability tests (on road and track, in various driving conditions) and intensive cold-weather trials on the snow-covered roads of the Valtellina and at the Ghiacciodromo Livigno (Sondrio), Italy’s most notable snow and ice circuit.
During this cold-weather programme, the super sports car was tested to evaluate engine cold starting, the low-temperature performance of its elastic components, and the car’s handling on cold and low-grip asphalt surfaces. The tests were also performed to verify correct functioning of the climate control system in cold conditions, as well as tests conducted on the battery, suspension and brakes.
