Imagine the wind in your hair, the roar of a powerful engine, and the endless sky above you. That’s the promise of the Maserati MCPURA Cielo, an extraordinary convertible that takes supercar exhilaration to a whole new level. This stunning machine, revealed at Goodwood, truly embodies pure energy and elegance, all with the unmistakable Italian touch.
The Heartbeat of Performance: The Nettuno Engine
The Maserati MCPURA Cielo inherits the potent spirit of the MC20, pushing it to its most refined and intense form. Every detail, from the exquisite design to the luxurious interior, has been crafted with precision. At its core lies the formidable 630-CV V6 Nettuno engine. This engine is a direct symbol of Maserati’s passion for ultimate performance, delivering a truly thrilling ride.
Connect with the Open Road
The MCPURA Cielo offers an unfiltered connection between driver and machine. It transmits extreme elegance and exhilarating driving performance. You will feel the timeless artisanship in every curve. The name “Cielo” (sky in Italian) perfectly captures its essence. This model is designed to embody the most authentic values of the Trident, providing a unique open-top experience.
E = MCPURA: A New Definition of Energy
The launch campaign for the MCPURA series uses the iconic formula: E = MCPURA. This powerful hyperbole, inspired by Einstein’s theory of relativity, celebrates an energy that multiplies until it becomes a pure expression of excellence. Santo Ficili, Maserati COO, affirmed that with the MCPURA, Maserati is firmly regaining its rightful place at the top. This exceptional convertible is created at the historic Modena facility.
Modena’s Legacy, Crafted for the Sky
Maserati’s heart has been beating in Modena for nearly 90 years. Here, the entire MCPURA Cielo production process takes place. This includes manufacturing the Nettuno engine and assembling every component. Exclusive customisation also happens at the Maserati Officine Fuoriserie. Modena is not just a location; it’s integral to Maserati’s identity. As the oldest automotive marque in the Motor Valley, Maserati proudly continues to represent Italian excellence worldwide.
Ai Aqua Rainbow: A Sky-Inspired Hue
The new super sports car was presented at Goodwood in the sophisticated Ai Aqua Rainbow body color. Designed as part of the Maserati Fuoriserie customisation program, this shade features a gloss finish for the MCPURA Cielo. Its very name evokes light in movement. This blue magically changes in the sun, producing a stunning rainbow effect, reminiscent of a prism. The Trident on the grille and C-pillar, along with the insignia, are in magenta with blue mica. This adds an extra layer of elegance to the car.
Striking Contrasts and Alcantara Comfort
The logo, in the same vibrant color, is repeated in the middle of the rims. These rims boast a specific burnished diamond-cut finish. In contrast to the gloss body, the details on the Cielo are in matte. Inside, the seats are crafted from Alcantara Ice. They are laser-etched to bring out the Trident with brand-new visuals. This creates a futuristic and sporty image, with iridescent red and blue backing, enhancing the forms.
A Spectrum of Sensation: New Body Colors
The color palette available for the MCPURA Cielo is both eye-catching and evocative. It comprises a selection of distinct body colors specially designed for this new super sports car. These hues strongly reference both Italian spirit and Maserati’s iconic heritage. Three innovations particularly stand out. The brand-new Devil Orange combines vibrant energy and audacity. The elegant dual-layer metallic Verde Royale and Night Interaction offer sophisticated and luxurious shades.
Fuoriserie: Your Personal Canvas
These new colors emphasize the MCPURA Cielo’s role as Maserati’s new standard-bearer. It truly embodies Italian luxury around the globe. The color palette has been further expanded, thanks to the multiple customisation possibilities. The Maserati Fuoriserie program offers over thirty body colors. You can choose from solid, metallic, three-layer, four-layer, or matte finishes.
Distinctive Features: Carbon-Fiber and Retractable Roof
The new MCPURA Cielo, available immediately, boasts four distinctive features. Its carbon-fibre body ensures an optimal blend of rigidity and lightness. Next, the Maserati-patented V6 Nettuno engine delivers its incredible power. The “Butterfly” doors improve access to the passenger compartment. They simultaneously reveal the carbon-fibre structure of the chassis. Most notably for the Cielo, it features a retractable glass roof.
Lightweight Agility, Open-Air Freedom
The carbon-fibre monocoque provides rigidity and lightness, despite its convertible nature. The total weight remains remarkably under 1,500 kg. With its power output of 630 CV, the MCPURA Cielo achieves a best-in-class weight/power ratio of 2.33 kg/CV. This ensures exceptional agility and performance, whether the top is up or down.
The Powerhouse Within: Nettuno Performance
The MCPURA Cielo can count on the immense power of the now-iconic V6 Nettuno engine. This engine is a result of a true technological revolution. It’s covered by international patents and is 100% made at Maserati. The 3.0-litre twin-turbo delivers 630 CV at 7500 rpm and 720 Nm of torque from 3000 rpm. The power-to-weight ratio is a remarkable 210 CV/litre.
Formula 1 Technology, Road-Ready Thrills
The secret to this engine’s remarkable power lies in its innovative pre-chamber combustion system. This system features twin spark plugs. This cutting-edge technology is derived directly from Formula 1. Thanks to Maserati, the patent holder, this revolutionary system is now available in an engine destined for the road.
The Magic of the Sky: PDLC Glass Roof
The standout feature of the Cielo version is its retractable roof. This roof utilizes polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) glass. It is the first in its class to offer the ability to switch from opaque to transparent in just one second. The onboard experience thus becomes truly multi-faceted. You can enjoy an all-encompassing feel with the roof closed and opaque, a unique “sky feeling” when transparent, or a holistic experience with the top down.
Modenese Craftsmanship, Global Appeal
The MCPURA Cielo is meticulously produced at the historic Maserati plant on Viale Ciro Menotti, Modena. This facility also builds the Nettuno engine. From Q4 2025, the iconic GranTurismo and GranCabrio will also be made here. The plant stands out for its innovation and artisanship. The Officine Maserati Fuoriserie, a recently opened space, is dedicated to the most refined customisation. The MCPURA Cielo completes its 100% made in Modena journey, from development to production, and even the paintwork in the new paint shops.
The Maserati MCPURA Cielo is more than just a convertible; it’s an invitation to experience boundless driving freedom. It combines breathtaking performance, exquisite Italian design, and the unique joy of open-air motoring. This car truly embodies the pure emotional connection that only a Maserati can provide, with the sky as your ultimate companion.
