The Maserati MC20 supercar has taken out the prize for “Best of the Best” at the Red Dot Awards 2021 in the Product Design category.

The Red Dot Awards is an international design competition which has been assessing and selecting the most ‘aesthetically exciting, functional, intelligent, and innovative products’ from across the world since 1955.

Every year, the competition rewards excellence in the field of product and brand design and communication, and a jury of 50 international experts chooses products in almost 50 different categories, including automotive.

The MC20 certainly is a jaw-droppingly beautiful sports car, and its design is matched by some brilliant engineering under that skin.

Performance is top-notch, and the 325km/h top speed and 0-100km/h time of 2.9 seconds comes courtesy not only of the light and aerodynamic body, but the potent Nettuno 470kW, twin-turbo V6 engine – the first new engine developed by Maserati (the company had been using engines built be Ferrari) in 20 years.
