Haha, that is why it is not a well known fact. General Public will still cheer for the Enzo, but not a lot of us will still remembered the MC12

Maserati postpones bold brand relaunch until September
Coronavirus outbreak prompts brand to push back the start of its so-called 'new era'
Maserati will outline its bold 'new era' model strategy at an event in September, rather than May as previously planned, as the European car industry enters a state of shutdown due to the coronavirus outbreak.
The event, called 'MMXX: The Way Forward', is still scheduled to take place in the firm's Modena home town and will show how the Italian brand will take its line-up of sports cars, SUVs and luxury saloons into the electric era. It has not yet been confirmed if the new MC20 supercar, described as a spiritual successor to the iconic MC12, will still be unveiled in May.
Maserati's electrification strategy is set to begin later this year with the launch of a hybridised version of the Ghibli saloon.

Maserati MC20 Twin-Turbo V6 Could Deliver Over 600 HP (447 KW)
We are extremely keen to see what the Italian brand will deliver but a new rumour from Car and Driver suggests the V6 engine could deliver over 600 hp (447 kW).
We do know that Maserati is building its own V6 engine for this car instead of sourcing a mill from Ferrari, and the word from Car and Driver is that it will be a twin-turbo monster connected to a dual-clutch eight-speed transmission.

Maserati themselves consider this MC20 to be the spiritual successor of the mighty MC12 so when it does arrive, it should be a full-blown supercar.

Maserati MC20 prototype livery pays tribute to Stirling Moss
One-off paint scheme for upcoming sports car commemorates Moss's motorsport successes at the wheel of a Maserati
Maserati has marked the recent passing of Sir Stirling Moss with a commemorative livery for its MC20 sports car development prototype.
The distinctive camouflage wrap is inspired by the paintwork of the brand's historic Eldorado single-seater, which made its debut with Moss at the wheel at Monza in 1958. The livery has been unveiled on 13 May because it was on this day in 1956 that Moss won the Monaco GP in a Maserati 250F - a car he described as "his favourite".
Maserati says it has chosen the MC20 prototype to wear the Moss-inspired livery as the model marks the brand's intention to return to the world of motorsport, following the international successes of the MC12 hypercar.
The firm said it will be a "natural evolution" of the limited-run MC12 – the last model to wear the Maserati Corse badge – and has confirmed that it will "return to the world of racing", with the MC20.

Maserati MC20 to be unveiled on 9 September with 613bhp V6
Twin-turbo 3.0-litre 'Nettuno' powerplant produces as much power as the V12 from Maserati's MC12 supercar
Maserati has released long-awaited technical details of the all-new bespoke V6 engine that will power its upcoming MC20 sports car, ahead of the model's unveiling on 9 September.
Named Nettuno (Neptune) in reference to the mythical character associated with the brand's trident logo, the twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre petrol motor produces 538lb ft and 613bhp - the same power output as the 2005 MC12 supercar, Maserati's most powerful production model to date.

Maserati releases engine details for its upcoming MC20 supercar
Maserati has long seemed an odd fit in the "motor valley" of Modena. Where its neighbours Ferrari, Pagani and Lamborghini have focused on outrageous supercars, Maserati has been much more conservative, courting a luxury-focused customer base that feels like it's grown out of the flashy stuff.

Under the skin: How Maserati's new V6 is more potent
Maserati’s new twin-turbo 3.0-litre Nettuno V6 employs Formula 1 technology and is designed and built in-house
Following two announcements of stonking new supercar engines earlier this year, for the Aston Martin Valkyrie and Gordon Murray Automotive T50, Maserati has made it a hat-trick. Called the Nettuno, its engine is a 621bhp twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 producing 538lb ft torque, and it’s far from conventional, with an all-new pre-chamber combustion system so far used only in Formula 1. The Nettuno will make its debut at the launch of the new Maserati MC20 supercarin September.
The concept is similar to but mechanically simpler than the Mahle Jet Ignition prechamber concept that we looked at in the 8 January issue. The idea is that rather than compressing and firing a single charge of fuel and air in the combustion chamber as normal, some of the mixture is initially ignited in a small pre-chamber that sits above the combustion chamber and is connected to it by small nozzles.

Maserati MC20 seen in less disguise ahead of September reveal
Upcoming sports car will use twin-turbo 3.0-litre 'Nettuno' V6 powerplant with 621bhp
The upcoming Maserati MC20 sports car has been spotted testing on public roads ahead of its official debut on 9 September.
The disguised prototypes have provided the closest look yet at the upcoming model, with a sculpted body and low-slung stance that make it appear more purposeful than anything in Maserati's current line-up. It is believed to be near-production bodywork underneath the camouflage, with significant air intakes around the rear wheel arch and a small lip spoiler at the rear, in addition to two centrally-mounted tailpipes.
The MC20 will become the first to use the company's all-new bespoke V6 engine, named Mettuno (Neptune) in reference to the mythical character associated with the brand's trident logo.
The twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre petrol motor will produce 538lb ft and 621bhp - slightly more than the 2005 MC12 supercar, Maserati's most powerful production model to date.

The 2021 Maserati MC20 Could Be The Most Interesting Thing Maserati Has Done In Years
Next week, Maserati is launching the MC20, a direct descendent of the $1.5 million MC12 (in good ways and bad), and Maserati’s first new car in over four years. It’s very likely the most interesting thing Maserati’s done in a bit longer than that.
That last interesting thing, by my estimation, was the Alfieri concept from 2014. What’s interesting about the MC20 is it will have its own motor powering it, the 100-percent in-house designed Maserati engine that shares a lot of parts with Ferrari and Alfa Romeo. That engine is a 3.0 liter, twin turbo V6 that Maserati has previously said would make 621 horsepower and 538 lb-ft of torque.
(It’s also worth noting that the MC20 sure looks like corporate bosses handed Maserati the Alfa Romeo 8C concept to deal with, as Daniel Golson pointed out on Twitter the other week.)
What’s also interesting is that Maserati is choosing 2020 to finally debut its own engine, even as it is also developing electric powertrains. That gives a decidedly retro feel to this launch, a supercar with an all-new internal combustion engine in the year of our Lord 2020. A hybrid version is also in the works, though not for the US, according to Autoblog.

Maserati's grand debut for 2020, the new MC20 sports car, has been leaked online just hours ahead of its planned unveiling tomorrow evening.
What appear to be official press shots of the Audi R8 rival have been posted by various sources across social media. The MC20 features a front-end design heavily inspired by the race-bred MC12 supercar, with scissor doors and a two-tone paint scheme also featuring.
We also get a glimpse of the cabin, which appears to feature a design bespoke to that of any current Maserati.
