In 2020, Maserati introduced the MX20 coupe and now the long-awaited convertible called the MC20 Cielo has been unveiled. The cars represent the next iteration of Maserati’s new supercar, and hopefully it won’t be the last.

At first glance, the MC20 Cielo is not much different from the MX20. The stylized rear vents were removed and replaced with a matte sticker, and Maserati also had to relocate the engine air intakes although the coupe door design was retained. There is also more space for a folding roof. Some improvements that are part of the 2023 MC20 coupe are also presented, such as details in the interior, but also additional safety technologies. These include an automatic emergency braking system, a traffic sign recognition system and a 360 camera.

The MC20 will be powered by a 3.0-liter Nettuno V6 engine, which also powers the MC20 Coupe, with 621 hp (457 kW) and 538 lb-ft (730 Nm) of torque. The engine is paired with an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission. It will reach 62 mph in about 3 seconds which is almost the same as the MC20 Coupe reaching the same speed in 3.2 seconds. The company claims that the top speed that this supercar can reach is 199 mph (320 km / h).

Maserati offers three variants of carbon monocoque chassis for each of its models. The Coupe chassis is made with a focus on weight and performance, while the design of the Cielo monocoque chassis is focused on greater rigidity, so the MC20 Cielo is 65 kg heavier than the MC20 coupe. The car is equipped with a folding roof that can be folded in 12 seconds, and which contains a chromatic glass panel that instantly turns from transparent to opaque thanks to liquid crystals (PDLC). Maserati claims that this is the largest glass panel in the segment. There are also new “double X” design rims, as well as carbon rims that are 30 kg lighter.

Also, the limited PrimaSerie Launch Edition in Aquamarine body color will be presented soon. The interior will be upholstered in Alcantara and light leather. The car will be decorated with PrimaSerie inscription on the headrests, but also on matte black 20-inch wheels, with markings that have a specific finish. Only 60 copies of this car will be produced.
