Maserati takes top off MC20 Cielo spyder on May 25

MANILA: Maserati is ready to showcase another new model: a one-of-a-kind spyder that will be known as MC20 Cielo. The global premiere will be on May 25. 

To coincide with the International Day of Light on May 16, the Trident Brand reveals the name of a car characterized by a special “Sky Feeling."

MC20 Cielo announces its sporting vocation and its special feature: MC stands for Maserati Corse (‘Racing’); 20 refers to 2020, the year that began the brand’s new era; Cielo (‘sky’) highlights the fact that it is a model devoted to driving pleasure in the great outdoors, while maintaining all the prerogatives of a true super sports car.

The new spyder is a 100% made in Italy model. It will be developed at the Maserati Innovation Lab in Modena and produced at the historic plant on Viale Ciro Menotti alongside the MC20 coupé. 

The MC20 is powered by Maserati's Nettuno engine, which is also regarded as the first engine in this new phase of the Trident’s history. This twin-turbo V6 of the MC20 has already been given a global patent, which places MTC (Maserati Twin Combustion) technology, the revolutionary combustion mechanism that has undergone in-house development, on the world’s roads.

This engine generates a torque of 730Nm and a power output of 630hp. With this engine, the MC20 boasts of a  weight /power ratio of 2.33 kg/hp.

The new model, like the MC20 coupe, sports a body that is built with carbon fiber and composite materials, a solution that has been examined for all future configurations—coupe, convertible, and electric.
