During Monterey Car Week, Maserati unveiled its fresh range of cars, featuring the first-ever MC20 Cielo spyder in North America. The company’s CEO Davide Grasso and other top executives were present at the event and displayed the latest models of the brand, including the Grecale SUV and the MC20 coupe, along with the MC20 Cielo.
In May, the MC20 Cielo was unveiled globally as the convertible version of Maserati’s MC20 coupe. The MC20 coupe is the first Maserati supercar in over a decade. The monocoque chassis of the MC20’s is used for the second iteration of the MC20 Cielo, which aims to enhance rigidity but adds a little weight. Notably, the MC20 Cielo weighs 143 pounds (65 kilograms) more than the coupe.
One of the significant features of the MC20 Cielo is its retractable glass roof, which includes an electrochromic window. This technology allows the window to transform from clear to opaque by touching a button on a central screen. It uses Polymer-Dispersed Liquid Crystal (PDLC) technology.
The US debut of the Maserati MC20 Cielo Spyder is finally here and it’s quite a powerhouse. Equipped with the same Nettuno V6 engine found in the MC20 coupe, this convertible beauty packs a punch with 621 horsepower and 538 pound-feet of torque. The eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox ensures a smooth ride as all that power is sent to the wheels. And if speed is your thing, you’ll be thrilled to know that the MC20 Cielo Spyder has a top speed of over 198 miles per hour.
There is currently no information available regarding the release of the MC20 Cielo by Maserati in the United States. However, upon its global debut, a PrimaSerie Launch Edition was made available with only 60 units being produced. This exclusive model boasts unique features including the Acquamarina exterior paint color that was showcased during its appearance at Pebble Beach.
