Maserati MC20 Cielo
The Maserati MC20 Cielo ('sky' in Italian) is the open-top variant of Maserati's triumphant return to the supercar segment. The MC20 is powered by Maserati's all-new Nettuno 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6, which uses a revolutionary Twin Combustion system derived from Formula 1 technology. This pre-chamber ignition system uses two spark plugs per cylinder — one in the main combustion chamber and one in a small pre-chamber — to achieve more complete combustion, enabling 621 horsepower from just three liters without sacrificing fuel efficiency. The Cielo variant adds an electrochromic glass roof that can switch from transparent to opaque at the touch of a button, retracting into the rear deck to create a full convertible experience. The carbon fiber monocoque (developed with Dallara) maintains the coupe's structural rigidity even without the fixed roof, resulting in minimal weight gain. The MC20 name revives the legendary MC12 designation (MC = Maserati Corse), and the car represents Maserati's first entirely in-house supercar in over two decades, marking the beginning of the brand's ambitious new era.
As a current production model, buy through authorized Maserati dealers. Specify options carefully as the configurator offers extensive personalization. The Nettuno engine is all-new — early adopters should maintain strict service schedules. Carbon-ceramic brakes are standard but extremely expensive to replace.
Built at Maserati's historic Viale Ciro Menotti plant in Modena, which was completely renovated for the MC20. The Nettuno V6 is built at a dedicated engine facility within the same complex.
