The new MCPURA takes inspiration from the potent GT2 Stradale
July 10, 2025 at 06:00

- Powering the MCPURA is the MC20’s 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 with 621 hp.
- Several new colors have been added to the palette, including Devil Orange.
- Maserati has yet to announce pricing details for this special version of the MC20.
Looks may be subjective, but in our opinion the Maserati MC20 is one beautiful supercar. However, the Italian brand has launched an even more stunning version known simply as the MCPURA. Introduced in both hardtop Coupe and convertible Cielo guises, it will premiere at the Goodwood Festival of Speed and uses the same powertrain as the standard model.
On first impressions, you may not be able to notice the changes made to the MCPURA, but they’re there. They start at the front, where Maserati’s designers have subtly reshaped the front grille and splitters. Some inspiration has been taken from the GT2 Stradale at the front, as well as the rear.

Going into details, the rear end of the MCPURA has a more pronounced diffuser with elements that flow around the tailpipes. The rear spoiler has also been enlarged and new badges have been added. Maserati claims it spent thousands of hours refining the aerodynamics of the MCPURA in the wind tunnel, but hasn’t released any drag or downforce numbers. All we know is that it looks good, and the changes are functional as well.
Italian Style
Maserati has also launched several exclusive colors for the MCPURA. These include a new shade known as Devil Orange that pays tribute to Maria Teresa De Filippis, the first woman to have qualified for a Formula 1 Grand Prix. The color on display in these photos is Ai Aqua Rainbow, complete with a matte finish for the Coupe and a gloss finish for the Cielo.

GT2 Inspiration
Special attention has also been paid to the interior of the MCPURA duo. The car comes equipped with a bespoke steering wheel inspired by GT2 racing and complete with a flat top which, on the Coupe, can be upgraded to include shift lights and carbon fiber. The rest of the cabin is familiar, although there’s now more Alcantara, new badges, and distinctive branded scuff plates.
The infotainment system has gone unchanged from the MC20, although the MCPURA does have the same performance displays as the GT2 Stradale. As standard, a six-speaker audio system is fitted, although shoppers can opt for a 12-speaker Sonus Faber system.

Maserati has left the twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 Nettuno untouched. As such, it continues to deliver 621 hp at 7,500 rpm and 531 lb-ft (720 Nm) of torque from 3,000 rpm. This engine is mated to an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. Both body styles can hit 60 mph (96 km/h) in a claimed 2.9 seconds, and the Coupe tops out at 202 mph (325 km/h), while the Cielo is marginally slower, at 199 mph (320 km/h).
