Maserati's Latest Supercar Appears Similar Until You Notice the Modifications | Carscoops

      The new MCPURA draws inspiration from the powerful GT2 Stradale.

      Under the hood of the MCPURA is the MC20's 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 engine, delivering 621 hp.

      A few new color options have been introduced, including one called Devil Orange.

      Maserati has not yet disclosed pricing information for this unique version of the MC20.

      While opinions on aesthetics can vary, we believe that the Maserati MC20 is an exceptionally attractive supercar. The Italian automaker has unveiled an even more eye-catching variant called the MCPURA. Available in both hardtop Coupe and convertible Cielo versions, it will debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed and shares its powertrain with the standard model.

      At first glance, the alterations made to the MCPURA may not be immediately noticeable, but they exist. The modifications begin at the front, where Maserati's designers have subtly adjusted the front grille and splitters. Some design cues have been taken from the GT2 Stradale at both the front and rear.

      In detail, the MCPURA features a more prominent rear diffuser with elements that wrap around the exhaust outlets. The rear spoiler has also been increased in size, and new badges have been incorporated. Maserati claims to have spent countless hours fine-tuning the MCPURA's aerodynamics in the wind tunnel, but has not published any drag or downforce figures. All that is known is that it looks appealing, and the enhancements are said to be functional as well.

      Italian Elegance

      Maserati has also released several exclusive colors for the MCPURA, including a new hue named Devil Orange, which honors Maria Teresa De Filippis, the first woman to qualify for a Formula 1 Grand Prix. The color shown in these images is Ai Aqua Rainbow, featuring a matte finish for the Coupe and a gloss finish for the Cielo.

      GT2 Influence

      The interior of the MCPURA has also received special attention. It features a custom steering wheel influenced by GT2 racing, complete with a flat top that can be upgraded on the Coupe to include shift lights and carbon fiber accents. The rest of the cabin remains familiar but includes more Alcantara, new badges, and distinctive branded scuff plates.

      The infotainment system remains the same as that in the MC20, although the MCPURA does offer the same performance displays as the GT2 Stradale. A six-speaker audio system comes standard, with an option for a 12-speaker Sonus Faber system.

      The twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 Nettuno engine has been left unchanged, continuing to produce 621 hp at 7,500 rpm and 531 lb-ft (720 Nm) of torque from 3,000 rpm. This engine is paired with an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. Both body styles can accelerate to 60 mph (96 km/h) in a claimed 2.9 seconds, with the Coupe reaching a top speed of 202 mph (325 km/h), while the Cielo is slightly slower at 199 mph (320 km/h).
