2023 Maserati MC20: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2023 Maserati MC20 is the arrival of the Cielo, a new open-top version with a retractable electrochromic glass roof. The coupe and the MC20’s core mechanical package otherwise carry over without a major overhaul.
About the 2023 Maserati MC20
1st generation MC20; 2023 is the coupe’s second model year and the Cielo convertible’s launch year.
Maserati positions the MC20 as a true Italian mid-engine supercar that brings the brand back into the exotic sports-car space with its own engine, a carbon-fiber structure, and dramatic styling. Its core appeal is the mix of sharp performance, exclusivity, and a cleaner, more road-friendly cabin than some harder-edged rivals. For most buyers, the MC20 is about standout design and serious speed without giving up a sense of luxury.
The MC20 coupe remains the more focused, closed-roof version, with a twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6, carbon-fiber structure, butterfly doors, and dual 10.25-inch displays. The Cielo adds an open-air personality through its retractable glass roof while retaining the same engine, rear-wheel-drive layout, and carbon-fiber core.

Styling
The Cielo joins the lineup as a new open-top body style. Its retractable electrochromic glass roof can switch between clear and opaque, while the coupe continues without a major redesign.

“While the MC20 is a spectacular looking car, the top is a major problem and the noises it makes make it undriveable.”
