Maserati has given its MC20 a new identity with the debut of the MCPura, a name that means “pure” in Italian. It’s a clear statement of intent – a return to the core values of traditional carmaking at a time when the supercar world is increasingly leaning toward electrification. Instead of hybrids or batteries, the MCPura continues to champion the internal combustion engine, staying true to Maserati’s focus on driving feel and emotional connection.
The exterior has been subtly but effectively refined. The front bumper now wears a sharper, more aggressive “shark nose” design, while the rear diffuser and underbody aerodynamics have been reworked for better airflow. Hours of wind-tunnel development have fine-tuned every curve and vent. New paint finishes like Ai Aqua Rainbow and Devil Orange give the car a bolder personality. Buyers can choose between a sleek coupe or the Cielo convertible, the latter retaining its smart-glass roof that transitions from transparent to opaque at the touch of a button.
At the heart of the MCPura remains the 3.0‑liter twin‑turbo Nettuno V6, a masterpiece of engineering that delivers 621 horsepower and 730 Nm of torque. It’s paired with an eight‑speed dual‑clutch transmission sending power to the rear wheels. The result is the same explosive acceleration – 0 to 62 mph in under 2.9 seconds – and a top speed around 202 mph. It’s not about reinvention; it’s about refining an already exceptional platform.
Inside, the MCPura is wrapped entirely in Alcantara, from the seats and dashboard to the door panels. The steering wheel is inspired by Maserati’s GT2 race car, now with a flat top and bottom and optional LED shift‑light indicators. The infotainment has been enhanced with more detailed telemetry, showing real‑time data like turbo pressure and oil temperatures. For those who value high‑end sound, a premium Sonus faber audio system can be fitted.
There are small but meaningful tweaks everywhere. Side skirts have been reshaped to optimize airflow. Air intakes have been revised to improve both cooling and cabin acoustics. Even the aerodynamics around the wheels have been fine‑tuned for less drag and better high‑speed stability. In the convertible Cielo version, the balance between open‑air exhilaration and coupe‑like refinement is still seamless.
What Maserati has created is not a revolution but an evolution. The MCPura keeps the essence of the MC20 alive – lightweight construction, thrilling ICE performance, and sharp, driver‑focused dynamics – while smoothing the edges and offering a slightly more polished experience. In an era where many rivals are chasing hybrid power or going fully electric, Maserati is making a bold statement that purity of purpose still matters.
Pricing hasn’t been confirmed, but it will sit just above the MC20’s starting point. Orders are already open, and production will remain limited, reinforcing the exclusivity of this Italian thoroughbred. Also you can check our list of the most expensive cars in the world.
