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.

Iconic British car brand to begin 'new era' with 'urban SUV' to be launched next year 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. 5 The changes include subtle updates to its interior Credit: Not known, clear with picture desk 5 And the screens have the latest generation "Maserati Intelligent Assistant" Credit: Not known, clear with picture desk
