Maserati took its sweet time to unveil the successor to the car was unveiled nearly 20 years ago but it was worth it.

First and foremost, car lovers will be happy to hear that it is available with a V6.
You can opt for the ‘entry-level’ version, called the Modena, and that’ll give you access to 490 hp of power.
Alternatively, you can opt for the range-topping Trofeo version, which is equipped with the same 3.0-liter ‘Nettuno’ V6 that powers the MC20.
