McLaren W1 First Drive: Ferocious Hypercar Transcends the Track

You know things are getting serious when McLaren rolls-out the ‘1’ suffix. The origin story is, of course, the very first road car McLaren ever built, the F1. Designed by visionary Formula 1 aerodynamicist and engineer Gordon Murray, it arrived in 1992 and rendered all other supercars obsolete. The tiny, lightweight F1 embraced carbon-fibre material technology, adopted a radical centre seat driving position with two passengers set back and either side and was powered by a 6.1-litre V12 engine from BMW that might as well have been passed down directly from the Gods. Game-changer? That doesn’t even come close to describing its impact, even if at the time sales didn’t come easy… The P1 was very different. Rather than a unique side project from the Formula 1 team, it was instead a statement piece for McLaren Automotive, a new road car division still in its infancy. It arrived in 2013 and was a wild-eyed showstopper. It traded the long-legged gait and supple suspension of the F1 for a weaponized hybrid system capable of delivering 903bhp and huge blue flames from its drainpipe exhaust. In Race mode, it lowered by 2-inches and its massive concave rear wing extended into the sky. The P1 was all about aerodynamic downforce, crazed acceleration and a snorting, angry soundtrack that mixed venomous twin-turbocharged V8 with the manic whirr of electric motors. Not so much a car as a force of nature. And now there’s this: The W1. It’s a true successor to the P1 with a similar brief and, on the face of it, it evolves rather than radically reinvents McLaren’s vision for the ultimate hypercar. This is not a criticism. How could it be when the result is this dramatic and has such staggering, other-worldly potential? The W1 has 1258bhp delivered to the rear wheels. It’s capable of 0-124 mph in 5.8-seconds, the quarter mile in 9.6-seconds at 167 mph and produces 2205lbs of downforce at 174 mph. The active aerodynamics – particularly a rear wing that extends way out beyond the rear of the car – are pure performance art and deliver massive aerodynamic efficiency. The result, aside from looking extremely cool, is that the W1 is McLaren’s fastest road car around a racetrack. Ever. Their benchmark circuit is the breath-taking Handling Track at the Nardo proving ground in southern Italy, where the W1 beats their previous benchmark, the flyweight McLaren Senna, by three seconds per lap. Or “a lifetime” as they call it in racing. Maybe two lifetimes! Core to the W1’s performance is the new ‘Aerocell’ carbon fibre tub. With integrated seats and a raised footwell to allow for inboard pushrod-operated front suspension – which in turn gives air a clean path to the huge underbody diffuser – it’s light, stiff, space efficient and has been instrumental in McLaren realising a full ground-effect concept. Just like last year’s F1 cars, which were the fastest ever made. There is also an active front wing and the aforementioned complex rear wing dubbed ‘Active Long Tail’. All of which is very admirable. But the ‘anhedral’ or gullwing doors and the fantastically shirnked-wrapped feel to the minimalist, highly-focussed interior are a pretty good side effect. The W1 feels special. Those fixed seats are perhaps a shade more upright than expected, and the driving position is less obviously racecar than, for example, the Aston Martin Valhalla or Ferrari F80. However, once you’ve adjusted the pedals (they move on a slider) and the delicate, slim-rimmed and alcantara-trimmed steering wheel, there’s an overwhelming sense of purpose. The cabin is so tightly tailored and imparts a sense of lightness and agility before you so much as start the all-new 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine, which makes 916bhp all on its own and revs to 9200rpm. Reach up to a roof-mounted control panel to find the starter button. Maybe this fighter plane trope is a little corny, but somehow you feel thrilled rather than manipulated. The W1 has a sense of humour as well as all that motorsport-derived sophistication. There’s a short delay, but when the engine does fire it’s instant – as the high-powered hybrid system negates the need for an old-school starter motor. A sharp flare of revs tells you that this engine is hyper-responsive and angry. On some deep level your brain and body have been sent all the signals required to prepare for something new and intense. Ahead of us, an empty Mugello racetrack, so press and hold the blue button next to the red starter to select Race mode. The centre display graphic shows the W1’s transformation in real time as it lowers by 37mm at the front and 17mm at the rear whilst simultaneously undocking all that active aero goodness. Race mode is not road legal and is geo-locked. You can show your friends and neighbours the aero dance, but it won’t allow you to select a gear to actually drive unless you’re at a circuit. Incidentally, the rocker switches either side of the display binnacle allow further options now: Toggle up the Handling control on the left for Race+ (for F1-spec super smooth tracks) or stick to Race for gnarlier ones. On the right toggle select ‘GP’ for sustained performance over a stint or ‘Sprint’ to unleash all 1258bhp for a time attack. There’s also a DRS and Boost function on the steering wheel. But I guarantee you won’t have the mental capacity to use them… Exit the pitlane, pin the throttle and W1 takes maybe a millisecond or two to gather its might (the gearing stretches to around 60mph in first, nearly 100mph in second, primarily to aid traction), but then lunges at the first turn with incredible ferocity. It instantly feels light, almost like inertia is no longer a thing. McLaren really does prize lightweight engineering, and at 3084lbs (dry) the W1 has a 278lbs advantage over the Ferrari F80. Plus, Ferrari uses figures for cars fitted with every single carbon fibre option. In reality, the gap is probably wider still. The impression of agility and stunning control continues as the track is unravelled at startling pace. The electric motor mounted to the side of the new 8-speed dual-clutch transmission is good for 342bhp and 324lb ft and it boosts any low rev lethargy the new flat-plane crank V8 might have (spoiler alert: It doesn’t appear to have any), so the W1 just feels massively, almost impossibly powerful at any revs. Even so, there’s real reward for wringing it out to 9200rpm and the power curve feels superheated but organic, too. In Race mode the steering – still hydraulically powered – has less assistance and it is noticeably heavier than other McLarens. However, that resistance is welcome as it gives you something to push against and imparts so much information about the front grip level. New Pirelli Trofeo RS tyres with a bigger front footprint than P1 or Senna really help. The front-end feels incredibly secure and the rear-axle follows with perfectly-aligned precision. The whole car feels super-stiff, completely locked into the surface and inspires confidence, but there’s an inherent agility and adjustability that means you’re quickly confident to push at its limits and really impose yourself on the chassis. It’s such a complex car but the driving experience is intuitive, and the driver feels a key contributor rather than just amazed (or terrified) observer, holding on for dear life. Every dynamic ingredient really is shockingly effective and yet has a subtlety and lightness of touch. From that delicious steering to the incredible brakes, the W1 just feels so mission-focussed, so hooked-up. Only the new 8-speed gearbox is a slightly disappointment. It’s fast and punchy, but after the scintillating energy of the Ferrari F80 ’box it feels competent rather than inspired. Other quibbles – it’s okay to quibble when the starting price is $2.1-million before tax and destination charge. Well, that new twin-turbocharged V8 sounds tightly wound and aggressive but if you have a P1 tucked in the garage you’ll miss the snorting, Darth Vader-style soundscape and all the drama that goes with it. Ferrari does this better, too. The F80 sounds deathly dull from the outside but is a riot of turbochargers, electric motors and all sorts of mechanical fury within the cockpit. Even so, the W1 is wildly entertaining on track, and the rear-drive configuration makes it more of a challenge and more satisfying than the F80 when chasing lap times or just sliding around for fun. In the Ferrari, you must second-guess what the front e-axle might do, whereas in the W1 it’s all on you. There are plenty of tools to help, including the ingenious Variable Drift Control, but somehow the W1 is more heroic. Or at least fools you into feeling more heroic – which is surely the point! On the road? Nimble, loaded with feel and sublime response. The ride is noticeably tougher than, say, a 750S but the control is ramped-up too, and with a bit more speed the whole car finds a delicious rhythm. Sport mode for the drivetrain brings some nice turbo whooshes and chirps, but the noise remains high-quality rather than extreme excitement. It is perhaps the one area the W1 feels just a little too tame. Of course, there’s nothing tame about the raw performance… which is genuinely shocking and literally hurts your neck muscles after a few hours. How McLaren has given the W1 such immense traction through just two driven wheels is beyond me. So, is it worthy of that ‘1’? I think so. Perhaps we won’t be talking about $25-million auction results for the W1 in 30 years from now, as we are for the F1. Perhaps it doesn’t quite have the amazing presence and jaw-dropping star quality of the simply gorgeous P1. But it is such an intense experience and the way it marries stunning track performance with delicate poise and entertainment on normal roads is something akin to magic. Maybe not ‘the one’ but definitely a searing, outrageous addition to McLaren’s fiercest family line. Just 399 W1’s will be built and they’re all sold. I’m not surprised at all.

Carabinieri Maserati McPura Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio-2

By Khris Bharath – October 28, 2025

Maserati MCPURA Joins Italy’s High-Speed Medical Fleet

Maserati has just handed the Italian Carabinieri a one-off MCPURA, purpose-built for emergency medical transport. For the first time in history, a Maserati will serve Italy’s military police force, joining a fleet that already includes high-performance Alfa Romeos. Developed by Maserati Centro Stile in Modena and finished in the Carabinieri livery, this car packs a twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 Nettuno engine that delivers 630-horsepower. It’s the same powerplant used in the MC20 supercar and one that we recently had the chance to savor in the McPura Cielo. Built on a carbon-fiber monocoque, it keeps the weight low at around ~3,300 pounds, while maintaining rigidity, ideal for high-stress maneuvers needed in emergencies. Further, for missions involving the transport of organs and blood, this vehicle is also equipped with specialized compartments, climate control for biological materials, and emergency communication systems. When time is critical, the MCPURA’s blend of race-grade performance and sharp handling will ensure that those deliveries make it to their destination on time in a safe manner. Sitting alongside the custom Maserati supercar was the latest Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio, also equipped with the aforementioned specialized equipment for blood and organ transport. It packs a 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6 that delivers 520 horsepower. The ceremony in Rome brought together top leadership from both Stellantis and the Carabinieri. We are proud to provide to the Carabinieri two cars that represent the best of Italian technology and design,” - Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa. While Alfa Police cars are a common sight in Italy, with models like the Alfetta, 90, 75, 155, 156, and 159 serving in the past. The Giulia nameplate’s long-standing presence in the Carabinieri fleet, meanwhile, actually dates back to the 1950s, when the original 1900 “Matta” and 1900 sedan became symbols of the Italian police. Today, the Quadrifoglio continues that tradition, modern, fast, and tailored for law enforcement operations. ”The operational reliability of these vehicles is a vital tool for saving lives. And when we speak of saving lives, we refer to the highest mission an Institution can pursue, and the noblest service one can offer to their community.” - General Commander, Gen. C.A. Salvatore Luongo. Italy has a long tradition of putting its supercars to work for the public good. Lamborghini famously supplied the Polizia di Stato with Gallardos and later Huracáns, both V10-powered patrol cars that can rocket down the Autostrada equipped with refrigerated storage for organ transport and defibrillator systems for emergency response. Maseratis have previously served in police fleets with supercars elsewhere; this marks a historic first in Italy. For the Carabinieri, it’s another chapter in a 70-year story that began with humble Alfa sedans and now continues to evolve with the inclusion of exotic cars, being redirected towards serving the public and saving lives.

Turquoise Maserati MC20 Cielo convertible sports car with Liquid Crystal Roof on display against an orange gradient background.

2026 Maserati MCPURA Debuts At Goodwood With Liquid Cryst...

Maserati has pulled the wraps off its latest flagship at the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed: this is the 2026 Maserati MCPURA. Hand-built in Modena, Italy, it represents the sharpest edge of the Trident marque’s performance ambitions yet. The name MCPURA itself is a deliberate fusion of meaning: MC pays homage to the halo MC20, which itself is a nod to the Frank Stephenson-designed MC12, while PURA, which is Italian for “pure” reflects the car’s deeper focus on design, emotion, and performance. The company’s launch slogan, a playful spin on Einstein’s equation E = MCPURA, frames the car as a high-performance formula with a deeper focus on design, materials, and customization. It arrives in two forms: the fixed-roof coupé and the Cielo convertible. Both are powered by the Maserati-developed 3.0-liter Nettuno V6, delivering 621 horsepower and 538 pound-feet of torque and a staggering 207 horsepower per liter. The engine delivers 532 pound-feet of torque from just 3,000 rpm and features a patented pre-chamber combustion system with dual spark plugs tech borrowed from Formula 1, a setup that’s earned Maserati several international patents. With its carbon-fiber monocoque, total weight stays under 3,307 pounds. That featherweight build enables an impressive power-to-weight ratio of 5.21 lbs/hp, making the MCPURA best-in-class in this crucial metric. Maserati has chosen the annual Goodwood Festival of Speed to debut the MCPURA in a color that will certainly command attention: A striking shade dubbed Ai Aqua Rainbow. Designed through the brand’s in-house Fuoriserie customization program, this iridescent blue hue shifts in sunlight, mimicking the dispersive spectrum of a prism. Accents include magenta Trident badges with blue mica on the grille, C-pillar, and wheel centers, paired with burnished diamond-cut rims. Inside, the cabin pushes boundaries with Ice-colored Alcantara seats, laser-etched with Trident patterns and backed in iridescent fabrics, with blue and blue with red, offering up a 3D visual effect. With a look that is sporty yet luxurious, it ties everything together with the exterior’s futuristic palette. Butterfly doors continue to add drama to the rear mid-engine sports car, while also showing off the visible carbon-fiber chassis. On the convertible Cielo model, Maserati has introduced a retractable polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) glass roof that transitions from opaque to transparent in just one second, offering an immersive "sky feeling" or total enclosure at the push of a button. Customization lies at the core of the MCPURA offering. Maserati’s Fuoriserie program further allows buyers to choose from over 30 paint finishes, ranging from solid to four-layer matte with new hues like Devil Orange, Verde Royale, and Night Interaction. “With MCPURA, Maserati is once again regaining its rightful place: at the top and in its stomping ground. Both versions – coupé and Cielo – are created at our historic Modena facility, where the heart of the Trident has been beating for nearly 90 years. Modena is not just our headquarters; it forms part of our identity. We are the oldest automotive marque in the Motor Valley, an area we helped to build and continue to represent around the world. From there, we proudly tell the story of Italian excellence and luxury” - Santo Ficili, Maserati COO The MCPURA slots into the space between track-bred weapons like the Huracán STO and tech-forward hybrids like the 296 GTB and Artura. It’ll appeal to buyers who value lightweight construction, F1-derived engine tech, and an Italian sense of style, all without the electrification trend many rivals are embracing. The sports car will be built at the brand’s historic facility on Viale Ciro Menotti in Modena, where the Nettuno engine, GT2 Stradale, and the upcoming GranTurismo and GranCabrio are also produced. Pricing hasn’t been announced yet, but when new, the MC20 that launched back in 2020 had a starting MSRP of just over $200,000. As for production numbers, assuming MCPURA follows Maserati’s pattern for its halo models, production may be limited to somewhere between 800 and 1,200 units annually, shared across coupé and Cielo versions. That’s exclusive enough to maintain rarity, but likely aligned with facility capacity. View All Maserati MC20s For Sale Source: Maserati

One-Off Peralta S Supercar To Make US Debut At Monterey M...

This new one-off supercar is set to make one Car Week appearance. One of the most anticipated automotive events of the year is on the horizon: Monterey Car Week. With some of the most prestigious displays, concours events, and activities on the planet surrounding some of the world’s most exclusive and coveted cars, Monterey Car Week brings out the absolute best in the automotive industry, as well as among luxury and exotic car collectors. One of those is Carlos Peralta, for whom GFG Style created a stunning one-off supercar that will only make one appearance during Car Week at the Monterey Motorsports Festival. That car is the Peralta S, and it was designed by Fabrizio Giugiaro within GFG Style, which was founded by Fabrizio and his legendary father, Giorgetto Giugiaro. The Peralta S is the first one-off vehicle to emerge from the design house, and after originally being unveiled in Mexico, it’s making its U.S. debut at Monterey Motorsports Festival. The Peralta S is based on the Maserati MC20, Maserati’s new supercar with racing-derived design and engineering, as well as Maserati’s exciting new 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged Nettuno V6 engine. The Peralta S maintains the MC20’s 612-horsepower powertrain, as well as its rear-wheel drive, mid-engined layout. However, the new supercar features a retro-inspired wedge-shaped body, reminiscent of many of the masterpieces penned by Giugiaro in the past. Inspired by the Maserati Boomerang concept from 1972, which was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro, the wedge shape is enhanced by a dramatic front-hinged canopy that opens upward for ingress and egress. This year’s Monterey Motorsports Festival is the place to see this incredible, retro-inspired one-off, where the new Peralta S is set to make a splash at 2025’s Monterey Car Week.

Maserati MC20 Price, Specs, Photos & Review

The Maserati MC12 left big shoes for the MC20 to fill. And we’re not just talking about the fact that the MC12 is nearly 17 feet long and 7 feet wide. The Maserati MC20 was tasked with serving as the successor to one of the most iconic supercars in the world, a bold statement that pushed Maserati’s brand into a new era. With an incredible V12 engine and a top speed of 205 mph, the MC12 is a car that shaped many enthusiasts’ dreams. However, the MC20 delivers on the promise of being a successor, with its stunning looks that take cues from its predecessor as well as cars like the Birdcage 75th Concept, and its performance that improves on the MC12’s acceleration thanks to the amazing Nettuno V6 engine and a lightweight carbon-fiber monocoque. Like the MC12 before it, the Maserati MC20 is an era-defining supercar. Maserati MC20 Price The Maserati MC20 has a starting MSRP of over $200,000. However, considering the fact that a Maserati MC20 for sale is an Italian supercar with the ability to get from 0-60 in less than 2.9 seconds, and climb to speeds of over 200 mph, this is fairly standard. While the Maserati MC20 price is expensive, you get what you pay for, in terms of a carbon-fiber monocoque that comes straight from the racing world, a V6 engine with over 600 horsepower, and the stunning Italian looks, spirit, craftsmanship, and luxury that come with owning a Maserati. Maserati MC20 Review The Maserati MC20 is a sight to behold, but sight is just the tip of the iceberg. A Maserati MC20 review is an opportunity to experience the best when it comes to Italian luxury and performance. The MC20 ticks all the boxes when it comes to being a gorgeous supercar: it’s mid-engined, has rear-wheel drive, it sits low with dramatic butterfly doors, and it’s monstrously quick. The Maserati MC20 horsepower of 621 is what propels the sleek and aerodynamic lightweight machine to world-class speeds, and the same light weight and advanced technology help it get around the street and track with style, dynamism, and ease. With the driver doing all of this in beautifully made Italian leather seats and with a carbon-fiber and Alcantara steering wheel, the MC20 doesn’t leave much to be desired. Maserati MC20 Specs The Maserati MC20 specs compete with some of the best supercars in the world and combined with the car’s looks and Italian luxury spirit, it makes for quite the desirable machine. The Nettuno V6 that Maserati debuted with the car makes it blindingly quick. The Maserati MC20 0-60 is just 2.9 seconds, with a ¼ mile of just 11 seconds, which is an incredible time for a six-cylinder car, but it doesn’t end there. The Maserati MC20 top speed is 205 mph, putting it with world-class supercars that exemplify the best the automotive world has to offer in terms of incredible production car performance. Maserati MC20 Specs Price: $212,000 Engine: 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 Transmission: 8-speed dual-clutch transmission Horsepower: 621 hp Torque: 538 lb/ft 0-60 mph: 2.9 s ¼ mile: 11.0 s Top Speed: 202 mph Maserati MC20 Engine “Nettuno” is what Maserati has chosen to call the Maserati MC20 engine, named after Neptune, the Roman god of the sea, which is also the place from which Maserati’s iconic trident is derived. And with the ability to produce 621 horsepower with a 3.0-liter displacement, the Nettuno V6 is fittingly named for its godly power. The 90-degree architecture was specifically chosen to lower the center of gravity and maintain the MC20’s incredible weight distribution, as well. With racing-derived technology throughout, the Nettuno V6 doesn’t just contribute to the MC20’s power, it also contributes to the car’s light weight and superior agility, as well. After being introduced on the MC20, the Nettuno V6 has gone on to become Maserati's flagship performance engine, featuring in the Grecale Trofeo, the GranTurismo Trofeo, the GranCabrio Trofeo, the MC20's open-top sibling, the MC20 Cielo, and all of the supercars that Maserati has revealed that are based on the MC20, like the MCXtrema, the GT2, and the GT2 Stradale. Maserati MC20 Transmission The MC20 employs the use of an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission, which enables fast, easy shifting, and also comes equipped with four driving modes: GT, Sport, Corsa, and Wet. GT is the default, most comfortable driving mode, while Sport and Corsa get more aggressive respectively. Wet mode takes every measure to make sure that the MC20’s driver maintains control of the car even in tough situations. The Maserati MC20 transmission can be seen as a microcosm of the car itself, as the dual-clutch is an evolution of the MC12’s six-speed automated manual like the MC20 is an evolution of the MC12. Maserati MC20 Interior One of the first things you’ll notice about the Maserati MC20 interior is the fact that the instrument cluster and infotainment system are fully digitized, meaning that all of the information displays in the car are able to be customized to your preferences, which can prove incredibly useful when it comes to performance driving, where you only want to see what you need to see so that you can drive distraction-free and focus on the road ahead. And once it’s adorned with leather, carbon fiber, and Alcantara, the interior of the MC20 is as luxurious as it is personal. An optional Sonus faber sound system makes the MC20 just as much of a private oasis as it is a supercar. Maserati MC20 Brakes From 60-0 mph, the Maserati MC20 brakes have the ability to stop at a distance of just 108 feet. That’s because the Maserati MC20 comes equipped with a state-of-the-art braking system courtesy of Brembo. The front brakes consist of monobloc 6-piston calipers and carbon-ceramic discs, and the rear brakes have 4-piston calipers, also with carbon-ceramic discs. The monobloc construction of the calipers along with the carbon-ceramic composition of the disks allows for reliable strength and rigidity, while the carbon-ceramic adds the bonus of the ability to save weight, adding to the MC20’s incredible dynamics. Maserati MC20 Standout Features The Maserati MC20 is a Maserati through and through and is proud to say so. Features that are unmistakably Maserati include the Birdcage wheels, which have been a staple for years in Maserati and feature a three-pointed motif, which itself serves as a reference to the brand’s iconic Trident. Another spot where you can see a Maserati motif is in the rear glass of the car, which, covering the engine, is vented with openings that form the stunning shape of a trident at the back of the car, which adds a unique touch to the car’s beauty. For the first time ever, Maserati introduced Butterfly doors to the MC20, which open upward. Not only do they create a dramatic, attention-commanding effect when exiting the car, but they also make it easier to do so by creating an unobstructed opening, considering how low the car sits to the ground. The butterfly doors of the Maserati MC20 maximize cool-factor and style even after your drive is over. In addition, Maserati's Fuoriserie bespoke division is responsible for all kinds of unique, exclusive Maserati creations, offering unique colors and options for the Maserati MC20 that help it stand out even further in a crowd. Through Fuoriserie, exclusive versions of the MC20 like the MC20 Icona, inspired by the legendary MC12 it succeeds, have been created. View All Maserati MC20s For Sale " width="680"> Image Source: Maserati Does the Maserati MC20 have a Ferrari engine? No. The Maserati MC12, which was the predecessor to the MC20, sported a Ferrari-derived V12, but the MC20 features Maserati's Nettuno V6, a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 that Maserati has crowned its new flagship performance engine. Is the Maserati MC20 turbocharged? Yes. The Maserati MC20's Nettuno V6 engine is twin-turbocharged, and a unique feature of the engine is its pre-combustion chamber, inspired by F1. How much does a Maserati MC20 cost? A Maserati MC20 carries an MSRP of over $200,000. Expect to pay even more if you want the MC20 Cielo with its open top. On the second-hand market, examples of the Maserati MC20 coupe, depending on age, mileage, and condition, range from under $200,000 to just under $300,000. What are the variants of the Maserati MC20? There is the Maserati MC20 coupe, the open top Maserati MC20 Cielo, and the limited-edition Maserati MC20 Icona and Maserati MC20 Leggenda, which are inspired by the Maserati MC12 supercar of the 2000s. However, a few Maserati models are based on the Maserati MC20: the Maserati MCXtrema, a track-only supercar, the Maserati GT2 race car, and the Maserati GT2 Stradale, the road-legal version of the GT2.

Maserati Reveals 2 New Limited MC20 Editions To Celebrate...

Maserati’s unforgettable supercar is celebrated by its successor. The Maserati MC12 is one of the most legendary supercars ever to wear the manufacturer’s Trident emblem. Ushering the historic brand into the 21st century with a high-performance masterpiece, the MC12 was both a roadgoing supercar and a GT racer, which brought Maserati back to the racetrack competitively in 2004 for the first time in 37 years. 20 years later, the Maserati MC20 carries on the MC12’s legacy with its incredible looks and performance and the power of Maserati’s Nettuno V6 engine, making it the new flagship supercar from Maserati. It’s been 20 years since the introduction of the legendary MC12, and Maserati is celebrating its impact both on the road and the racetrack with two special editions of the MC20, inspired by the MC12 Stradale and the MC12 GT1 Vitaphone. The MC20 Icona is inspired by the MC12 Stradale, which itself paid homage to the Maserati Trofeo Light and the Birdcage Type 61. Through Maserati’s Furoiserie division, the MC20 Icona features a Bianco Audace and Blu Stradale livery, with blue brake calipers and a carbon fiber engine cover, all paying homage to the iconic white and blue of the Maserati MC12. The Maserati MC20 Leggenda pays homage to the Maserati MC12 GT1 Vitaphone, pairing Nero Essenza with Digital Mint Matte for its livery, with a yellow Trident on the grille and accents in Digital Mint to add more racing-inspired visual interest. Both special edition cars feature unique touches, like a custom interior that complements the livery, headrest embroidery with either “Icona” or “Leggenda,” and luxury features like the Sonus faber sound system, suspension lifter, carbon fiber interior package, and more. Only 20 examples of the Maserati MC20 Icona and MC20 Leggenda will be made, making each an ultra-exclusive ode to Maserati’s rich supercar history. With the unforgettable Maserati MC12 serving as inspiration, the Maserati MC20 pays an incredible tribute with its new special editions, carrying the MC12’s torch.

Maserati's New Fuoriserie MC20 Cielo "Opera d'Arte" Is In...

A gorgeous supercar serves as an artistic expression. Maserati is known for making beautiful cars, and the new Maesrati MC20 Cielo, the latest open-top supercar from the historic Trident manufacturer, is certainly no exception. Its low stance, clean lines, and classic Maserati motifs make it undoubtedly worthy of its title as Maserati’s supercar flagship. However, Maserati’s Fuoriserie program and its incredible customization ability took it a step further, creating a new artistic masterpiece: the Maserati MC20 Cielo Opera d’Arte. Inspired by abstract art, the bold design of the MC20 Cielo Opera d’Arte was created as a collaboration between Maserati Fuoriserie, Maserati Centro Stile, and the Maserati Engineering department. Its unique livery is hand-painted, and features color blocking and striking linework. Its artisan craftsmanship took thousands of hours of work, and the configuration features a striking 15 colors, with laser-etched Alcantara seats, and even the same unique design featured inside as well as on the exterior. On its own, the Maserati MC20 Cielo is a stunning automotive creation. However, with the creativity, artisan craftsmanship, and bespoke customization ability of Fuoriserie, Maserati has taken the iconic beauty of the MC20 Cielo to an even greater height. The Opera d’Arte revels in creativity, abstract art, and the MC20 Cielo’s excellence alike, and as a result, it’s a beautiful bespoke machine.

Each MC20 Notte, meaning 'night' in Italian, is a tribute to the brand's legendary motorsport achievements, capturing the essence of speed and sophistication. The MC20 Notte Edition, born from a collaboration between the Maserati Fuoriserie customization team and GT1 world champion Andrea Bertolini, presents an irresistable 'nero essenza' matte black finish. This transformative shade is an embodiment of the night itself, featuring details in matte white gold, including the iconic Trident, side logos, and the Maserati script, stimulating the glossy moonlight. These elements pay homage to the brand's motorsport history, while the 20-inch matte black birdcage wheels with matte white gold accents and black brake calipers accentuate the MC20's presence on the road. Inside, the driver-centric cabin is wrapped in Alcantara black and grey, accompanied by yellow stitching that breathes life into the sports seats. The sport steering wheel, with carbon fiber inserts and the renowned Trident on the headrests, conveys the MC20's racing DNA. A unique metal plate proudly denotes each car's identity as 'UNA DI 50', one of fifty, nestled between the headrests. To mark the MC20 Notte's debut, Maserati's global brand ambassadors David Beckham and Andrea Bertolini star in a captivating film, highlighting the vehicle's transformation into a nocturnal beast. As the Notte edition now beckons its exclusive clientele worldwide, Maserati offers an immersive on-track driving experience, inviting each owner to truly connect with the essence of the Trident under the cloak of darkness.

Maserati’s new supercar gets a Mansory makeover. The Maserati MC20 marks an important turning point in the history of the legendary Trident manufacturer, diving headfirst into the future with a refreshed take on its timelessly beautiful design, and importantly with the car’s Nettuno V6 engine, Maserati’s new powertrain pride and joy. However, its stunningly good looks have been taken a step further by Mansory. Mansory is known the world over for its unique customizations, and having an ability to elevate the looks and performance of some of the world’s most exclusive and desirable cars, and with a new available soft kit, the convertible Maserati MC20 Cielo is part of Mansory’s extensive portfolio. With cosmetic and aerodynamic enhancements from front to back, as well as increased power, the stunning supercar reaches a new level of exclusivity with these new Mansory upgrades. The standard 630 horsepower can be increased to 720, and an available full-carbon bonnet helps bring additional cooling to the V6 engine, with the result being an exhilarating 0-60 time of under 2.7 seconds and a top speed of 205 mph. However, Mansory’s customizations only start there, with a new spoiler increasing the already-high head-turning factor of the MC20 and MC20 Cielo, as well as custom wheels and various other aerodynamic components available in the soft kit, many finished in beautiful, motorsport-inspired exposed carbon fiber. If you want to take Maserati’s new supercar a step further, the new soft kit from Mansory is a foolproof place to start. View All Maserati MC20s For Sale Image Source: Mansory
