After nearly five years since its debut, the Maserati MC20 has been given a facelift that brings with it subtle changes and a new name: MCPura. Set to go on sale for the 2026 model year, we’ll start with what’s unchanged from before.
As a start, the MCPura will be offered in both coupe and convertible (Cielo) body styles, both of which retain the 3.0 litre ‘Nettuno’ twin-turbo V6 petrol engine making 630 PS (621 hp or 470 kW) at 7,500 rpm and 730 Nm of torque from 3,000 rpm to 5,500 rpm. Paired with an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission driving the rear wheels, the MCPura takes 2.9 seconds to get from 0-100 km/h and will hit a top speed of over 325 km/h (coupe) or 320 km/h (Cielo).
In terms of visible changes, the MCPura sports a new front fascia with a more trapezoidal-shaped grille. This is joined by a bumper inspired by the GT2 Stradale race car with a revised dark frame extending from below the headlamps into a tweaked front splitter. As for the rear, the bumper now has a more sculpted look that accentuates the dual exhausts while also sporting a new diffuser.
For its reveal at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed, Maserati presented the MCPura in a new AI Aqua Rainbow paint with a matte finish on the coupe, and a glossy one for the Cielo. Depending on the angle you look at it, this blue hue changes in the sun and shows hints of other colors. There are also three new colours called Devil Orange, Verde Royale and Night Interaction.
Other exterior changes are a new finish for the badging, while a magenta tint with blue mica flakes is used to finish the trident logos (grille and C-pillars), wheel centre caps and model script – these are either glossy (coupe) or matte (Cielo).
Inside, the MCPura looks identical to the MC20, but there are new seats with laser-etched Alcantara upholstery with vertical stripes. These new seats come with a double-sided backing of iridescent red with blue and iridescent blue with red, with the production technique resulting in a 3D appearance.
