Maserati MCPura Is The MC20 In A Fresh New Suit

The 2025 edition of the Goodwood Festival of Speed is upon us, and as is traditional, automakers are using the highly concentrated gathering of auto enthusiasts to show their latest creations. For Maserati, that's the new MCPura supercar, essentially a facelift of the MC20 that appeared five years ago.
Unlike the MC20, which only became a convertible (Cielo) two years after launch, the MCPura is available with either roof from launch, and Maserati has elected to paint drop-tops in gloss paint with matte accents and coupes in matte paint with gloss accents. But before we discuss the cosmetics, we need to talk about performance.
The MC20 was launched with the Nettuno 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 engine developing 621 horsepower and 538 lb-ft of torque, enabling 0-62 mph in under 2.9 seconds and a top speed of 202 mph. For the MCPura, everything is the same except the torque figure, which has slipped to 531 lb-ft, likely due to efforts to meet stricter emissions regulations. Maserati hasn't elaborated on chassis changes in great detail, but it looks like the car may have picked up a little weight - Maserati claimed 3,251 pounds for the MC20's curb weight and is now quoting 3,307 lbs for the MCPura.
Cosmetically, the MCPura gets a new flat-topped steering wheel (to improve gauge cluster visibility) inspired by that of the GT2 Stradale, and if you order the coupe, you can have this with shift lights. The interior two-tone upholstery in Alcantara Ice features laser-etched seats, but other than that, little has changed. Also influenced by the design of the GT2 Stradale are the new, slightly more aggressive bumpers, and at the rear, an optional oversized spoiler can be fitted for more aggression.
The launch car appears in Ai Aqua Rainbow paint, while the Trident logos behind each door (and in the centers of the burnished wheels) now feature blue and magenta accents, but there's also a new Devil Orange, which pays homage to Maria Terera de Filippis, the first woman to qualify for a Formula 1 Grand Prix (in a Maserati 250F). In total, 10 colors are now offered.

Orders are open from today, in both coupe and convertible forms, but pricing has not yet been announced. Expect a relatively small increase on the MC20's current MSRP of around $243,000 when the MCPura arrives at dealers in the second half of the year.
