2022 Porsche Panamera vs. 2022 Maserati MC20

The 2022 Porsche Panamera is exotic, with breathtaking performance and cutting edge automotive technology. But what happens when it faces off against the 2022 Maserati MC20, a super car that dazzles with its stunning appearance, superb handling and meticulous engineering?

Design & Style

The Maserati MC20 is a lovely coupe that holds two passengers. The cabin is minimalist and elegant, and soon buyers will have the option of a convertible. It features carbon fiber construction with aluminum style subframes for its powertrain and suspension. It has butterfly doors which are similar to the Lamborghini, and the dark leather seating looks fantastic especially with contrast stitching.

The Porsche Panamera has a tear drop shape which is similar to the Porsche 911, but is more elongated. It has four doors and the ability to seat four passengers, and is equipped with comforts such as seats which provide back massages; rear sunshade that is power operated and the fire extinguisher. The powered seats are covered in supple leather and can be adjusted eighteen different ways, and those that purchase the Executive edition will get limousine level space in back.  

Technology & Safety

Aside from its fire extinguisher which can prevent infernos in the aftermath of a crash, the Porsche Panamera protects its passengers with airbags, night vision; blind area monitoring, cruise control which is adaptive and emergency automated brakes. Luxuries within its cabin include twelve inch touch displays, the choice of Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, wifi and climate control which covers multiple zones.

By contrast, the Maserati MC20 offers few driver assistance features, other than carbon ceramic brakes and blind area monitoring. Luxuries within its cabin include Uconnect infotainment, Android operating system, ten inch touch displays, premium audio and a gauge cluster.

Performance

This is what the Maserati MC20 was made for. It is powered by a V6, dual turbocharged engine that can generate 621 horsepower, with the ability to accelerate from zero to sixty in 3.2 seconds. Its dual combustion system was derived from Formula One vehicles, and once you get behind the wheel it shows. Its adaptive suspension is so well designed that you can ride over most bumps without noticing. Those that purchase the Porsche Panamera 4S E-Hybrid will get a 552 horsepower engine that enables it to accelerate from zero to sixty in an incredible 2.9 seconds.

The Bottom Line

Despite seating twice as many passengers, the Porsche Panamera still outclasses the Maserati MC20 when it comes to zero to sixty acceleration time, and when you combine this with the fact that the MC20 is almost totally devoid of driver assistance tech despite costing six figures, this makes the Porsche Panamera the winner.
