Maserati dedicates MC20 prototype to Stirling Moss

Maserati has been developing a new supercar for some time now and has announced recently that the latest prototype will be dedicated to the late Stirling Moss, who passed away recently.

The brand claims that the design used for this prototype is taken from the Maserati Eldorado, the single-seater driven on its debut in Monza in 1958 by Stirling Moss himself, at the “Trofeo dei due Mondi”.

Moss recorded 16 victories in 66 starts in Formula 1 Grand Prix racing, making him one of the most successful drivers never to have won the world title.

Through this MC20 prototype with Stirling Moss’s “signature”, Maserati wishes to commemorate one of the greatest names in the annals of world motorsports. The list of Maserati cars driven by the British driver also includes the Tipo 60 Birdcage, Tipo 61 and 300 S.

The arrival of the MC20 is important for the Modena-based company, not only because it needs to return to form product-wise, but also because it will mark a return to motorsport, with a new engine that has been 100% designed, developed and produced by Maserati itself.
