Maserati MC20 Cielo: the super sports car
Maserati MC20 Cielo, is a one-of-a-kind spyder, taking the driving experience to a holistic and immersive level. MC20 Cielo stands out for its electrically retractable glass roof, the epitome of technology. Maserati is innovative by nature: Polymer-Dispersed Liquid Crystal (PDLC) technology makes it possible for the roof to be turned clear or opaque in an instant.
The in-car experience is multi-faceted: all-encompassing with the roof closed and opaque; a unique “sky feeling” when the roof is transparent; multi-sensory with the top down.
Other standout features include the thermal insulation in the glass roof – the largest in the segment – and an opening and closing speed of just 12 seconds.
The launch version of Maserati MC20 Cielo features a new three-layer colour known as Acquamarina, available as part of the Maserati Fuoriserie customisation programme.
MC20 Cielo is also available in the PrimaSerie Launch Edition, a limited series featuring exclusive content.
The new model retains the best-in-class specifications of the MC20 super sports car: bold in every respect, it epitomises Maserati’s typical GranTurismo spirit. The spyder is designed for perfection, while maintaining the dynamic performance and driving pleasure of the coupé.
Excellent power-to-weight ratio, with minimal increase in weight from the coupé. The body is made of carbon fibre and composite materials in its entirety, an identical solution for all the configurations to come: coupé, spyder and, in the future, electric.
Storage space and interior roominess remain unchanged from the coupé version.
Refined, clean and innovative 360° aerodynamics, tested in a wind tunnel.
Great acoustic comfort to ensure everyday usability, minimising vibrations.
The Nettuno engine
The engine is the same revolutionary Nettuno that debuted in the coupé version. Nettuno is the result of a genuine technological revolution, protected by international patents.
A strategic operation for Maserati, a brand now preparing to launch a project “100% Made in Modena” for the MC20 and MC20 Cielo family of super sports cars, starting straight from its engine, the heart of the new car.
Nettuno has a V 90° architecture, with a 3.0-litre, 6-cylinder twin-turbo, and features a dry sump (a classic solution on super sports cars). It can deliver 630 hp at 7,500 rpm and 730 Nm of torque from 3,000 rpm. The power-to-weight ratio is 210 hp/litre.
The compression ratio is 11:1, the stroke is 82 mm, with a bore of 88 mm.
The soul of the engine is the innovative pre-chamber combustion system featuring twin spark plugs. This technology is derived from Formula 1 and is now available for the first time on an engine destined for the road.
Technical specifications
The driver’s seat of the MC20 Cielo is as essential, functional and streamlined as in the coupé version. The focus is entirely on the driver and their quest for optimal performance.
The central tunnel is clad with carbon fibre and only includes the buttons and switches that are absolutely essential, to maintain concentration on the driving experience and to sustain the approach of elegant minimalism, the style canon for the interior.
The most luxurious detail is the drive mode selector, in a digital version here: taking centre stage, it is the distinctive feature that tells the driver and passenger they are aboard a Maserati.
