Maserati today announced that its customers will be offered a new way to “admire the sky” on Wednesday, May 25. Although it did not divulge what that will be, it is likely the previously-announced convertible version of its supercar, the MC20.
In its Instagram post, the automaker
uploaded three different photographs of the sky, looking straight up as if from
the seat of a convertible vehicle. It has long been referencing the sky in the
teaser campaign for its upcoming MC20 convertible. Maserati shared official
images of the drop-top supercar in December 2021. Although covered in
camouflage whose design looked like a cloud-dappled blue sky, the brand
couldn’t hide the modifications made to the roof structure, the missing side rear
window, and the updated design on the rear deck.
The Italian automaker confirmed that the
body was still made of carbon fiber, which should help prevent it from adding
too much weight with structural supports to make up for the missing roof. The
MC20 convertible will be powered by the same engine that was first revealed in
the coupe. It’s a 3.0-liter V6 that makes 621 hp and 730 Nm of torque, which helps it get to 100 km/h in just 2.9
seconds and onto a top speed of 325 km/h.
Maserati has promised that, in addition to
the convertible variant, it will release an all-electric version of the MC20
that it said will “absolutely be more powerful” than the ICE model. It is
unclear if it will also be available as a convertible.
