Maserati has been putting their brand new MC20 supercar through its paces, the MC20 is engaged in a series of reliability tests that take place on-road and on track covering all types of driving conditions. Winter testing is a vital part of the program. The car is put through intensive cold-weather trials here in Italy on the snow-covered roads of the Valtellina and at the Ghiacciodromo Livigno (Sondrio), Italy’s most notable snow and ice circuit.
Maserati comment that during its cold-weather mission, 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 the correct functioning of the Climate Control System in cold conditions and tests conducted on the battery, suspensions and brakes.
The company confirm that the extreme conditions have not stopped the new MC20; in fact, they have enhanced the opposing personalities of this car, born from the Brand’s racing DNA but designed for series production.
