Maserati May Already Be Planning the MC20's Successor
Maserati MC20
is already five years old. The car made its official debut in September 2020, and the automaker might already be readying the supercar's successor. Maserati has recently filed a new trademark that sounds like a natural progression of the company's current naming scheme for its supercars.
The Italian-based automaker filed a trademark application for "
MC25
" to be used on cars and scale model vehicles with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. That seems like the perfect moniker for a new car that would debut this year. However, there's no public indication
Maserati
is preparing an MC20 successor as the company faces a chaotic industry.
Maserati's Difficult Future
Sales for the brand were
down 57 percent last year
, declining from 26,600 cars in 2023 to just 11,300 units in 2024. The brand has also culled its lineup in recent years, discontinuing best-sellers like the Levante and Ghibli, with replacements still a few years away.
The company also had to fend off rumors last year that alleged Stellantis was preparing to sell the struggling brand. Stellantis then reiterated its commitment to Maserati in April, confirming that
the brand was not for sale
.
It might not have the resources for a completely new car, but Maserati could easily make some significant upgrades to the MC20 for a new iteration. The automaker previewed what could be possible with the powertrain back in 2023 with the
MCXtrema
, a track-only super making 730 horsepower from the Nettuno twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 engine.
A new iteration of the car featuring revamped styling, a new name, and other performance upgrades might be in the works. However, we'll have to wait for something official from the company. It has a lot to sort out as it navigates the ever-changing auto industry.

Liverpool get big Alexander Isak deal boost
There has been a DRAMATIC update in Liverpool's chase for Alexander Isak. On Tuesday the Newcastle forward took the unprecedented step of releasing a public statement over his current situation. 🚨2025/26 LFC x adidas range🚨 LFC x adidas Shop the home range today! LFC x adidas Shop the goalkeeper range today LFC x adidas Shop the new adidas range today! Isak, 25, claims promises have been broken by the Geordies and his current stance is that he will not play for the club again. 🔴 Shop the LFC 2025/26 adidas away range Liverpool tested Newcastle's resolve a few weeks back - offering a British record fee for the Swede - but the North East side were in no mood for negotiations. Newcastle make hefty Isak demands Despite Isak effectively being on strike it looks like the Magpies currently have no plans to sell him. Unless their demands are met - and more significantly unless they get two players into their strike line - then Liverpool could well be frustrated. Isak signed for Newcastle from Real Sociedad back in 2022 for a fee of £63m - agreeing a six-year contract - but relations with the club are at an all-time low. However, he will not be leaving for anyone else other than Liverpool. That's according to a new report in Caught Offside - which also reveals that Newcastle would deal at £147m. Isak is pushing hard for Liverpool 'Figures close to the situation described Isak as 'pushing hard' to get his dream transfer to LFC, who remain in 'pole position' to capitalise on this dire situation with Newcastle,' the report reads. 'So far, the Premier League champions have had a £110m bid rejected by NUFC, who are adamant that their asking price of around £147m must be met.' There have been links with Al-Hilal - and more outlandishly with Real Madrid - but it appears Isak has got eyes only for the Premier League champions. © IMAGO - Alexander Isak Liverpool

TSLA: Tesla Shares Slip as NHTSA Opens Probe Into Crash Reporting Delays
This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Aug 21 - Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) stock traded lower on Thursday after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said it has launched a new probe into the automaker's crash reporting practices. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 1 Warning Sign with NVO. Is TSLA fairly valued? Test your thesis with our free DCF calculator. The agency flagged several incidents where Tesla submitted crash reports involving its driver-assistance and self-driving systems months after the accidents took place. Current rules require companies to file within one day if a serious crash occurs, or within five days after the manufacturer becomes aware of the incident. NHTSA called the review an audit query, with the goal of identifying why delays occurred, how widespread they may be, and what corrective actions Tesla has in place. Regulators also plan to examine whether the company's internal reporting system adequately meets federal safety standards. The probe adds to a series of ongoing safety-related reviews tied to Tesla's Autopilot and Full Self-Driving features. While the company continues to expand deployment of its advanced driver systems, regulators are placing greater scrutiny on how quickly accident information reaches federal databases. Investors will watch whether the agency's findings prompt further oversight or new compliance measures in the months ahead. Effettua l'accesso per consultare il tuo portafoglio
