Powering the new MC20 supercar is Maserati’s Nettuno engine, a twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 engine. This powerplant produces 630 horsepower and 538 lb-ft of torque. With a weight of 3,307 lbs, its power-to-weight ratio is best-in-class. Maserati notes that the MC20’s combination of a weight power will allow it to sprint from 0 to 60 in under 2.9 seconds. It will also have a top speed of over 201 mph.

For the MC20’s design, Maserati took inspiration from their history. In the front of the supercar, shadows of the MC12’s design are included in the grille and placement of the hood’s air vents. Unlike the MC12, however, the MC20 does feature butterfly doors that Maserati says provide function and ergonomics. As for the overall aerodynamics of the MC20, Maserati tuned it to perfection. To be more specific, they put it through over 2,000 hours in the Dallara Wind Tunnel. This allowed Maserati’s designers to create a sleek vehicle with a drag coefficient under 0.38. And if you’re looking for a rear spoiler, that’s a bit hidden as it’s an active and discreet rear wing.

Since the first 1947 125S to the 2020 488 Pista, Ferrari has always stuck to the mentality that performance, styling, and technology is an ongoing evolution. Well, the same exact thought goes into the Scuderia Ferrari clothing line. The most recent release of the fall/winter 2020 collection is sure to pair well for both the owner with an 812 Superfast in the garage, as well as any fan of Ferrari working towards the dream of owning one. The newest styles take on a “less is more” approach, being that quality, functionality, and simplicity are the drivers. As seasons change, the Italian car manufacturer delivers the outerwear and accessory must-have’s in samples using the finest materials. The fall/winter release includes hats, jackets, shirts, polos, jeans, sneakers, and other accessories. Whether it is on or off the track, Ferrari has you covered from head to toe during the cooler months.

Jackets

When choosing a jacket from the new collection, it’s similar to the process of choosing the interior to your own personal Ferrari. The choice of materials includes fine Italian crafted leather, eco-friendly recycled softshell, or lush genuine down nylon. Ferrari provides an array of color options to the non-leather materials that match production paint codes such as Rosso Corsa, Blu Scozia, and Grigio Medio. A limited-edition jacket has been added to the collection that truly stands out: a waterproof full zip that features the Italian flag, crafted entirely from the country that produces the notorious supercars. This was produced to pay homage to creativity of Italian design and quality, which is the center of how Ferrari operates as a manufacturer.

Shirts

The shirts featured in the fall/winter 2020 collection vary for multiple occasions just like the driving modes that can be found on a Ferrari steering wheel. They range from comfortable to sport driven, as well as a track ready option to really turn heads when it matters. The comfortable option includes a short-sleeved t-shirt with the option of a small Ferrari shield or a technical F1 vehicle print. The sport style includes both a short and long-sleeved polo style shirt with the added option of an Italian flag collar. Finally, the track ready limited-edition polo features Italian flag patterns on each of the shoulders. The color options for Ferrari’s new shirts are white, black, Rosso Corsa, and Blu Scozia.

Shoes

Ferrari has bridged the gap between track-use footwear and streetwear sneakers once again with help from the team over at Puma Motorsport. The focus is on functionality to both keep your foot on the gas through the perfect apex, as well as enjoy casual activities throughout the day without needing change of shoes. The newest released pairs come in two low cut minimalistic silhouettes, as well as mid-rise for more ankle support. The uppers are constructed from soft breathable nylon and genuine soft leather, while the soles are crafted from rubber for the grip needed for any situation. Each pair showcases an aggressive black, red, and white colorway with added hints of Scuderia Ferrari logos.

Accessories

As the temperatures begin to drop over the next few months, Ferrari has added some accessories to the lineup to help keep warm. Winter hats and scarfs are offered in a variety of classic Ferrari colors and styles, all sporting the prancing horse. Also included are some classic fitted caps, using lightweight materials like twill, eco-friendly recycled plastic, and premium suede. All of these products feature the Ferrari shield with various color options.

Efficiency Is the Key to More Power

This article may contain affiliate links.

Every car owner wants a vehicle that’s powerful as possible. One way of achieving this is through boosting engine power. The trick is to do it without diminishing the fuel economy/efficiency of your ride. With a simple change you’ll see the huge impact. But where do you start with this? And what are some extraordinary techniques you can use?

Here is a list of the top five ways to enhance your car’s performance and efficiency:

1)    Consider a Forced Induction System

To effectively boost horsepower and torque, consider investing in a forced induction system–such as a turbocharger or supercharger. Using a gas compressor, it will increase the air’s temperature, pressure and density. This will allow more air to flow throughout the engine block, resulting in an increase in the horsepower. Power when you need it, but more efficient running when you don’t

2)    Invest in a Cat-Back Exhaust System

GMC Sierra engine

More power and efficiency starts with the engine–air in and out

Often, car owners don’t realize that the stock muffler and original exhaust pipe attached in the factory can directly affect a car’s performance. In order to improve it, it’s worth getting rid of these and investing in a cat-back exhaust system instead.

Fitted seamlessly behind the catalytic converter, it will typically include a resonator, muffler and a rear-pipe. Helping to increase the torque and airflow supply, the engine’s performance will immediately be improved.

3)    Lose Unnecessary Weight

This might sound like an obvious one, but it’s still something that many people forget. To boost your car’s performance and to ensure it’s as aerodynamic as possible, remove any unnecessary weight within it. By replacing heavy parts (e.g. extra seats and components within the engine) throughout the vehicle with lighter ones, your car can better your power to weight ratio in increase efficiency and performance.

4)    Replace Your Spark Plugs

One of the simplest and quickest tricks is to replace the spark plugs in your vehicle. The plugs ignite the air-fuel mixture – a vital action that drives your engine forward. Without regular replacement, your car’s performance will be drastically affected–not achieving the speed or fuel efficiency that you want. A critical engine component, it’s something that shouldn’t be ignored.

On modern cars, you will usually get a warning sign if they need to be replaced. However, with older vehicles you’ll likely need a mechanic to diagnose the issue and replace them for you.

5)    Utilize Performance Chips

To override the factory settings you can utilize performance chips. Adjusting the parameters (such as altering the amount of air it intakes or improving fuel efficiency) can increase torque and engine power in your engine.

Chips are a device that can be easily installed yourself if you’re familiar with the electronics of your car. If so, you’ll successfully maximize its driveability.

They can also be bought from many car part manufacturers, including TDot Performance.

Final Thoughts

Those are just 5 ways that you can boost your car’s performance. Of course, this isn’t a complete list and the technique that you use will depend on what your preferences are along with your budget. But whatever you choose to do, you’ll be one step closer to a more efficient and powerful vehicle that you love to drive.
