2026 Maserati MCPura: A Subtle Yet Striking Evolution of the MC20 Supercar

After four sleek and powerful years on the road, Maserati’s mid-engine supercar, the MC20, is getting a refined new look and a new name. Meet the 2026 Maserati MCPura, an updated version of the brand’s flagship performance machine. While the changes may seem subtle at first glance, they add up to a refreshed, more modern take on the Italian exotic.

What’s New: Fresh Looks, Same Heart

The MCPura keeps the same lightweight, low-slung profile as the original MC20, but with updated front and rear bumper designs. The front grille is now more trapezoidal, giving it a sharper, more aggressive look. Air intakes beneath the headlights are also reshaped into a cleaner, more rectangular style. Around back, the rear bumper has a more sculpted and muscular appearance, while still staying true to the original form.

Maserati is offering both coupe and Cielo convertible versions again, with the same butterfly doors and, in the case of the Cielo, the electrochromic glass roof that can shift from clear to opaque at the push of a button.

New Colors and Special Finishes

To help the MCPura stand out even more, Maserati has introduced some eye-catching new paint options:

  • AI Aqua Rainbow – A shimmering, color-shifting blue, shown in matte on the coupe and gloss on the convertible
  • Devil Orange
  • Verde Royale
  • Night Interaction

There’s also a fresh take on the badging. Maserati’s signature Trident logos, wheel center caps, and the new “MCPura” script all feature a magenta tint with blue mica flakes. These are glossy on the coupe and matte on the convertible, matching the finish of the car’s body.

Interior Upgrades: Alcantara Art

Step inside, and you’ll find newly designed laser-etched Alcantara seats. The vertical stripe patterns resemble tire treads, giving the cabin a motorsport-inspired touch. The backing is iridescent, with blue and red tones that shift depending on how the light hits them. While the rest of the interior remains nearly identical to the MC20, these new seats add a layer of visual drama and craftsmanship.

Same V-6 Power, Same Wild Performance

Under the hood (or rather, behind the seats), the MCPura continues to use Maserati’s potent 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine, nicknamed the Nettuno. Output remains at 621 horsepower and 538 lb-ft of torque, paired to an 8-speed automatic transmission sending power to the rear wheels.

  • 0–60 mph: under 2.9 seconds (manufacturer estimate)
  • Top speed: over 202 mph
  • Weight: Claimed dry weight of 3043 lbs for the coupe (for reference, a 2022 MC20 weighed in at 3757 lbs in Car and Driver testing)

Pricing and Availability

Production for the 2026 MCPura is set to begin in the third quarter of 2025 at Maserati’s factory in Modena, Italy. U.S. deliveries will begin in December 2025.

Maserati hasn’t released official pricing yet, but expect a slight increase over the current MC20’s base prices:

  • MC20 Coupe: from $242,995
  • MC20 Cielo Convertible: from $276,995

Final Thoughts

The 2026 MCPura doesn’t reinvent the MC20 formula, but it doesn’t need to. With fresh styling, bold color options, and the same blistering performance, it’s a refined evolution of one of the most exciting modern Maseratis.
