About MC20

When Maserati revealed the MC20 in 2020, it was a statement of intent: a mid-engined supercar built in Modena, with a carbon-fiber tub, butterfly doors and an engine Maserati had designed and built itself for the first time in decades. That engine, the Nettuno twin-turbo V6, uses a pre-chamber ignition system adapted from Formula 1, a technical flourish that gave the car genuine engineering credibility alongside its looks. The name nods to the MC12 and to Maserati Corse, the company's racing arm.

The MC20 was developed with help from Dallara and is built on the same Viale Ciro Menotti site that has produced Maseratis since the 1940s. A convertible, the MC20 Cielo, followed with a retractable glass roof, and a racing version competes in GT2 events. On the road, testers praised the ride comfort, the steering and the unassisted honesty of the chassis, while noting a cabin that felt plain for the price and a V6 soundtrack that cannot quite sing like a Ferrari V8 or V12. Maserati, for its part, argues the V6 sounds glorious enough.

An electric MC20 Folgore was announced and later cancelled, and in 2025 the car was refreshed and renamed MCPura, with the Cielo continuing alongside. It competes with the Ferrari 296 GTB, McLaren Artura, Lamborghini's newer hybrids and the Porsche 911 Turbo, all of which outsell it comfortably. News here is sparse but rich: limited editions such as the MC20 Icona, racing programs, auction results and the occasional one-off from a coachbuilder. Given the brand's uncertain strategy, the MCPura's future, whether another generation follows or the halo goes dark, is the question worth watching.
