The Maserati MC20 is a very exciting car for the Italian manufacturer and while we’re fans of how it looks, Frank Stephenson isn’t overly fond of the design.
Stephenson is one of the car industry’s most well-known designers and also happened to be the man that designed the Maserati MC12, the company’s most recent mid-engined supercar before the MC20. As such, he has the authority to speak on the design of the new car. According to him, it gets a 7.5 out of 10.

One aspect that Stephenson likes about the MC20 is the fact that it is two-tone. No matter what color customers opt for, the roof, pillars, side skirts, and rear fascia are finished in black. He is a big fan of two-tone designs like this, commenting that it draws your attention to the ‘fuselage’ of the car, meaning the roof essentially disappears from view. He also likes aspects of the interior, including the graphics on the seats.
He does have some complaints, however. Overall, Stephenson thinks the design of the MC20 is a little bland. At the rear end, he says Maserati could have knocked it out of the park if it opted for boomerang-shaped taillights like the 3200 GT. He also isn’t won over by the interior and is saddened by how digitized the cabin is, stating that physical controls and switches have an appeal that touchscreens and buttons simply can’t match.
