2026 Maserati MCPura: An Evolution of the MC20
Maserati is ushering in a bold new era with the 2026 MCPura, a refined evolution of the MC20 that stays true to the brand’s motorsport roots while embracing modern design and aerodynamic performance. Unveiled at the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed, the MCPura represents what Maserati calls “the purest form of performance,” both in design and engineering.
Pure Power, No Hybrid Compromises
At the heart of the MCPura is the same 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 “Nettuno” engine found in the MC20—an F1-inspired powerhouse that delivers around 621 horsepower and 538 lb-ft of torque. With a 0-62 mph time of just 2.9 seconds and a top speed north of 200 mph, the MCPura doesn’t mess around. What’s remarkable is Maserati’s decision to keep it purely combustion-powered, making it one of the last ICE-only supercars in a hybrid-heavy segment.
Refined Design Meets Functional Aerodynamics
The MCPura sharpens the lines of the MC20 with subtle but effective aerodynamic improvements. A reworked front bumper, reshaped side intakes, and enhanced underbody components contribute to improved downforce and cooling. Optional aero kits—including an oversized rear wing inspired by the GT2 Stradale—give the car a more aggressive stance without compromising elegance.
Bespoke Colors and Materials
Maserati’s Fuoriserie customization program is in full swing with the MCPura. Standout colors include a prismatic “AI Aqua Rainbow,” Verde Royale, Devil Orange, and a range of matte, gloss, and metallic finishes. Inside, laser-etched Alcantara, contrast stitching, and carbon fiber trim offer a motorsport feel with refined luxury. Even the steering wheel can be optioned with shift-light LEDs, adding function to form.
Technology Without the Gimmicks
Inside, the MCPura features Maserati’s latest infotainment system, paired with “Performance Pages” that give real-time driving metrics. The goal isn’t overload but clarity—keeping the driver focused and connected without distraction. A new GT2-inspired steering layout further emphasizes track-day readiness.
Cielo Convertible Variant
Maserati is also offering the MCPura Cielo, a convertible version equipped with a PDLC electrochromic glass roof that shifts from opaque to transparent at the push of a button. Despite the open-air design, performance figures remain nearly identical to the coupe, thanks to stiffened chassis tuning and lightweight materials.
Limited Numbers, Elevated Exclusivity
Production of the MCPura will be limited, with around 120 units allocated to the U.S. and just 10 for Canada. While final pricing hasn’t been confirmed, expect a slight premium over the MC20’s base price, putting it in the $230,000–$250,000 range depending on spec.
