The MC20, for Maserati, is; a very important model as it marked the beginning of a new chapter in its history. Now, the automaker has decided to offer its supercar in a different guise, winking at all those who like to drive with the “ wind in their hair ''. Thus was born; the Maserati MC20 Cielo that the manufacturer unveiled yesterday evening.

ELECTROCHROMATIC GLASS ROOF

The most great news of this model & egrave; the electrochromic glass roof realized thanks to the collaboration with Webasto. As Maserati explains, thanks to the PDLC (Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal) technology, with the simple touch of a button it switches in an instant from opaque to transparent and vice versa. A system that works in all temperatures, even when it's very cold or hot (from & ndash; 30 & deg; C to + 85 & deg; C).

Obviously, the glass roof can; be folded electrically in just 12 seconds up to a speed of 50 km/h. Despite the introduction of the sunroof, the aerodynamics are not; been penalized. The load is always remained the same and c & # 39; & egrave; it was only a slight 2% worsening of aerodynamic penetration. A result of the great work done in the wind tunnel by Maserati technicians.

Obviously, all the precautions necessary to transform the MC20 into the spyder version have resulted in an increase in weight which Maserati & egrave; was able to contain in just 65 kg . For the rest, the MC20 Cielo does not present particular differences with the coup & eacute; that already we know.

The measures are always the same and so & igrave; the habitability as well. The doors also continue to open upwards as in the coup & eacute ;. The new metallic tri-layer color called Acquamarina also debuts with the spyder, available as part of the Maserati Fuoriserie customization program.

Speaking briefly of the interior, there are no particular differences with those of the MC20. We therefore find two 10-inch screens , one for the instrumentation and one for the Maserati Touch Control Plus infotainment system (MTC Plus MIA). The steering wheel covered in Alcantara & egrave; always that of the MC20 coup & eacute ;. The paddle shifters, attached to the steering column, are available in dark aluminum as a standard configuration and in carbon fiber along with the internal carbon package. On the central tunnel we find the selector for the mode & agrave; driving, two buttons for the gears, the windows and the volume control of the infotainment and a support surface with wireless charger for mobile phones.


The new model also adds several active security systems . In addition to the parking sensors, the rear camera and blind spot monitoring already; present on MC20, the autonomous emergency brake, traffic sign information and a new 360-degree camera are introduced on the spyder.

At launch it will be; the Launch Edition PrimaSerie version is available, a limited edition that is characterized by exclusive contents such as the Aquamarine color of the exteriors, the ice interiors, the new 20-inch MMXX wheels and some golden details.

NEPTUNE ENGINE

The beating heart of the Maserati MC20 Cielo & egrave; always the engine & quot; Neptune & quot; . So, we are talking about a 6-cylinder V of 90 & deg ;, twin-turbo, 3-liter displacement, dry sump, capable of delivering 630 HP (463 kW) at 7,500 rpm and 730 Nm of torque starting from 3,000 rpm. The engine & egrave; combined with an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

Speaking of performance, Maserati declares speed; maximum speed of over 320 km/h and acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in about 3 seconds. The price? About 30 thousand euros more; of the coup & eacute; version. Therefore, we will leave; from a figure close to 260 thousand euros.
