There were a few electrics in the group, but most were still internal-combustion screamers.
The year got off to a good start when Maserati invited me to Willow Springs to drive its semi-revolutionary. Rather than borrow an engine and a chassis from Ferrari, as it did with the 2004-2005 MC12, , the MC20 is all-Maserati through and through, from its carbon-fiber monocoque to its twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6. The all-new engine uses an “F1-derived” pre-chamber combustion system, direct injection, and two spark plugs for each cylinder to make 630 hp at an easily accessible 7500 rpm.
Cranking the drive mode switch to Sport or Track makes the already sporty suspension even more so, and off you go. In my case I went up and down my favorite local road, Angeles Crest Highway. McLarens are magnificent in this environment, built solely for easing into and out of curves with perfect balance and nearly unmatched steering precision that will leave you grinning moonpie grins despite the high-ish mileage on your car.

5 Cars Discontinued in 2022Ford\u2019s latest supercar is done. While the GT was originally only scheduled for 250 examples starting in 2016, demand helped Ford justify stretching production to over 1000 more cars than was originally planned. But all good things come to an end, and the GT is no exception. Ford revealed a road-going sendoff model and a track-only variant that features some serious changes to the GT. This V6 scorcher has a solid pedigree of race wins, drama with at least one professional wrestler-turned-actor, and its name association with Ford\u2019s legendary GT40.
