Maserati MC20 Cielo PrimaSerie Edition: The Ultimate Open-Top Supercar
The Maserati MC20 Cielo embodies sophistication and speed, blending Maserati’s rich racing heritage with futuristic design. With only 65 units produced, the PrimaSerie Edition stands as a tribute to exclusivity and craftsmanship.
A Collaborative Masterpiece
The MC20 project was a collaborative effort between Maserati and the renowned motorsport engineering firm Dallara, debuting for the 2022 model year. Designed at Centro Stile Maserati in Turin, Italy, these supercars are meticulously assembled at Maserati’s historic Viale Ciro Menotti plant in Modena.
Limited Edition Elegance
To commemorate the launch of the MC20’s open-top version, Maserati introduced the Cielo PrimaSerie Edition, limited to just 65 units. This special edition features a Neptunian theme reflected in its unique Acquamarina three-layer paint. The iridescent matte white gold wheels enhance its luxurious appeal, complemented by a painted trident badge on the tonneau cover. Inside, the car boasts an Ice Alcantara and leather interior, highlighted by custom seat backings and Acquamarina stitching.
