Planned in the roadmap Maserati for a while, the convertible version of the Maserati MC20 has finally been unveiled this May 25, 2022! And here is its name: Cielo. You don't need to speak Italian to know what it means :). Spyder could have been a good choice but hey!
Thus, the Maserati MC20 Cielo joins the line of convertibles after the 4200 and the GranTurismo, without succeeding them since it is rather a question of proposing here a convertible supercar. The Maserati MC20 Cielo weighs only 65 kg more than the coupe.
Maserati MC20 Cielo against the competition
In the world of "small" convertible supercars, we can note 3 competitors for the Maserati MC20 Cielo The Lamborghini Huracan Spyder with its V10 atmo, the McLaren 720s Spider with its ultra-powerful V8, and the latest Ferrari with its small V6 which, coupled with its electric motor, develops 830 hp at 8500 rpm.

So, should you buy the Maserati MC20 Cielo?
For a little less money you have a Lamborghini, less exclusive with a V10, and for a little more money you have a McLaren with more performance and, the grail, a Ferrari 296 GTS that does not compromise between comfort, performance and above all, its V6 sings extremely well.
If you want an Italian and budget is not an issue... you can take the Ferrari 296 GTS. If you like to be different, take the Maserati MC20 Cielo.

Delivery of the Maserati MC20 Cielo
Presented on May 25, 2022, the Maserati MC20 Cielo will arrive at the lucky owners, who will place an order in the coming weeks, in 2023.
It still looks different than an SUV... Besides, it's not with an MC20 that we'll be able to push the stupidity to the point of driving down the stairs of the Trinity of the mountains! Long live the convertibles that help maintain a certain level of decency in this world...
I hope my dealer will order one to see it in person 🙂
