Maserati MC-63 Concept Imagines a Hypercar with LaFerrari Power
Designer Andrea Ortile has created the Maserati MC-63 concept, blending LaFerrari underpinnings with styling inspired by the 1961 Tipo 63 Birdcage.
A new Maserati hypercar concept has surfaced in Italy, pairing the Ferrari LaFerrari’s advanced hybrid underpinnings with a design rooted in Maserati’s racing heritage. The MC-63 concept, created by designer Andrea Ortile, draws its technical foundation from the LaFerrari but takes visual inspiration from the 1961 Maserati Tipo 63 Birdcage.
The MC-63’s proportions echo the LaFerrari, but Ortile’s work introduces softer lines and a more elegant silhouette. The roof forms a single, sweeping curve from nose to tail, while the wheel arches are rounded rather than aggressively flared. The front wears a prominent Maserati grille, flanked by slim headlights reminiscent of the Alfieri concept. At the rear, ultra-thin taillights and a carbon fibre diffuser sit above dual exhausts and an F1-style central brake light.
LaFerrari hybrid platform for Maserati
Although the MC-63 exists only as a digital design, its basis on the LaFerrari suggests a similar hybrid powertrain. The LaFerrari’s 6.3-litre V12 and electric motor produce a combined 949bhp (707kW), driving the rear wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. This would place the MC-63 firmly within hypercar territory, rivalling the most exclusive models from Ferrari, Porsche and McLaren.
Design details and Maserati heritage
Ortile’s MC-63 aims to express Maserati’s blend of elegance and performance, rather than the outright aggression of Ferrari’s hypercar. The continuous roofline and sculpted bodywork recall the style of Maserati’s historic race cars, while the grille and lighting details tie it to recent concepts like the Alfieri. The concept remains a designer’s vision, but its technical feasibility is rooted in the shared corporate resources of Maserati and Ferrari during the period when both operated under Fiat Chrysler Automobiles.
Where it fits among hypercars
If Maserati were to produce a hypercar with LaFerrari’s technology, it would join a rare group of hybrid-powered flagships. For comparison, see the LaFerrari in action at Monza (/video-watch-three-ferrari-laferrari-racing-at-monza-video-and-photo-gallery-inside) or explore the Spanish-built DSD Boreas, another hybrid hypercar (/the-boreas-is-a-hypercar-from-spain). The MC-63 concept highlights the potential for Maserati to draw on its history and technical ties to Ferrari for a flagship model, though there is no indication such a car will reach production.
