REVEALED! Maserati Unveils The Name For Its All-new Super Car. Does It Get Two Thumbs UP or DOWN?

For the past year we've been hearing about Maserati's work on an all-new sports car. We haven't been sure what to expect, frankly.

Would we finally see the Alfieri?

When in-house "spy" shots revealed the research & development car, it quickly became apparent that wouldn't be the case. Why? That's because it looked like a highly modified Alfa Romeo 4C. Details remain a bit mum at this point but as of today, Maserati has made a couple things clear.

It will be called the MC20. And, this vehicle will mark the return of Maserati to its motorsport roots.

The MC echoes the "MC12," which was based off the Ferrari Enzo. Clearly, the company has no shame as the reveal clip — see below — features a ton of footage of racing legends like Fangio and the trident's notable race cars.

That said, I've got to ask: Does MC20 get two thumbs UP or DOWN from you?

Is the car named after some computer code?

Much prefer names which can stir emotions to numbers which conjure up cold technical competence.

MC20 - Maserati Corse 2020. I’m just happy they didn’t name it the TC20.

This is exactly the car that Maserati does not need.

Never underestimate the effects a Halo car brings to a company if done right.

BUT in order for the halo car to have any real value, it has to placed just slightly above the top of the rest of the line.

The Corvette is a great halo car.

The NSX, GTR, Lexus LFA, Ford GT are examples of pointless halo cars.

You really should stick to mass market cars, the upscale market is not All about The lowest price. That’s One of the things that killed Maserati & Alfa is having them sold by Wal-Mart clerks.

And you're a snob who cannot afford a maserati, but I can. East my dust.

What killed Alfa was abysmal quality control and horrific reliability.
