The Maserati MC20 has a new look and a new name - the MCPura.
The Italian car firm said it has updated the "aesthetics and innovation" of the MC20 with this refresh.
It's subtly revised the design of it's five-year-old V6 flagship to keep it up to date with newer rivals.
But the carbon tub and the twin turbo V6 engine both remain the same as does its output of 621bhp.

The MCPura retains the 3.0 litre Nettuno combustion engine and Maserati pegs the 0-62mph time at 2.9 seconds - it can reach 186mph in just 8.8 seconds and a top speed of 202mph.
What's changed?
So, what's new other than the name?
Eagle-eyed motor enthusiasts may have noticed a slightly sharper face for one.
Maserati has given the MCPura a face lift to draw out the front bumper to give it more of a shark nose and to optimise airflow.

But you'd need to put the MC20 and MCPura side-by-side to really notice.
New colours and steering wheel
There are new colour options available too.
This includes the flagship Aqua Rainbow - a triple-layer blue-green that changes hue depending on the light - as well as Devil's Orange.
In addition, there are subtle updates to the interior with its use of Alcantara fabric - a synthetic suede-like material.
The interior also features a new chunky-looking steering wheel inspired by the MC20 GT2 racer - with flat top and bottom and an option of LED gearshift indicators.
And the screens have the latest generation "Maserati Intelligent Assistant".
While the MCPura will not be limited in production, it will be built to order with a high level of personalisation meaning no two examples are likely to be the same.
The MCPura will also come in the same choice of coupe or Cielo convertible bodies.
With prices not yet confirmed, the old MC20 kicked off at around £230,000 for the coupe and £250,000 for the Cielo.
So expect modest increases on those numbers.

I transformed £2,000 Ford Ka into ‘Ferrari' with racing-style seats & digital dashboard – now it's SOARED in value
A SUPERCAR fanatic has stunned car lovers by turning a battered £2,000 Ford Ka into a show-stopping 'Ferrari' lookalike — complete with racing seats, a digital dash and even scissor doors. Businessman Daniel dos Santos, from São Paulo, Brazil, bought the tired hatchback at auction for just BRL 16,000 (around £2,123) and set out to turn the humble motor into his dream machine.

But he's taken care to avoid upsetting the real Ferrari makers, whose legal teams are known for cracking down on copycats. Instead of badging his car with the famous Ferrari logo, Daniel came up with a tongue-in-cheek twist. He's dubbed the vehicle the 'Ka-rrari' — styled in the same distinctive font — and swapped out the iconic prancing horse for a grinning donkey.

Despite the flashy upgrades, the engine under the bonnet remains the original one-litre Ford unit, pushing out a modest 72bhp — a far cry from the 199mph Ferrari SF90 XX he took inspiration from. Still, Daniel reckons the unique build has sent the car's value soaring, claiming it's now worth around BRL 190,000 (around £25,194).
