The MC20 is powered by a 3.0-litre Biturbo V6 engine with 480kW and 750Nm and weighs around 1 500kg thanks to using a carbon fibre body for lightweight construction.

The engine uses technology in the top tier of motorsport: Formula 1. The high-revving engine uses carbon fibre to keep its weight, and the motor is located at the rear for better weight distribution. In addition, the engine's position helps with the driving dynamics.

The MC20 is only available in limited numbers worldwide, and only a handful will arrive in South Africa.
