The two MC20s do have some structural differences though, with different layering and structure to the Cielo’s carbonfibre that stiffens key elements around the windscreen base. The overall effect is an impressively low variation in weight, with the convertible only weighing 65kg more than the coupe, despite incorporating an automated folding roof system.
The roof itself is made of electrochromic composite glass, or the sort that’s able to switch between clear and frosted when an electrical current is passed through its internal layer. This, together with the vertically-mounted rear glass, that’s able to be independently raised and lowered in just 12secs, opening up the cabin to the elements while also giving the exterior a very different aesthetic.
This is something defined by the two buttresses that sit either side of the tonneau, replacing the Coupe’s flowing roofline and clear engine cover. For those missing the Coupe’s oversized Maserati graphic that’s embedded into the composite, buyers can specify a huge Trident decal made from a matte aluminium film.
Maserati hasn’t made many changes to the Cielo’s technical package, sharing the same Nettuno 3-litre V6 engine with its pre-chamber combustion technology. Key figures mirror the coupe with 626bhp on tap, and 538lb ft of torque available between 3000-5500rpm.
With 35 per cent of the super sports car marketplace going to open-top derivatives, it’s no surprise to see Maserati making so much effort to make sure it competes with the strongest possible product, but what’s really refreshing to see is how versatile the MC20’s character is already proving to be. Bring on the all-electric Folgore models…
It just is brilliant🤩👌🏻
Wow. First modern Maserati I've ever wanted.
Cool as the proverbial. Love the logo on the back. Cross between an R8 and a TT though?
Nice color
Why is the top speed reduced slightly compared to the coupe?
Filth
This looks cool.
