Maserati spyder6/13/2023 ![]() ![]() Here’s what Maserati has to say about the shade: It comes in a dedicated color called Acquamarina. For Maserati fans, collectors and anybody who can’t wait to get an MC20 Cielo Spyder, the design team created the Primaseries Launch Edition, of which 60-100 will be made, depending on demand. When you spend supercar money, you might as well go custom, so it is pretty popular amongst MC20 customers. Maserati’s customization program is called Fuorisirie. According to the production team, that makes the process faster in the paint shop, part of the fully refurbished Maserati factory in Modena. What isn’t are the new three-layer paint options, done with the panels painted first, and then the car, and not the other way around as they were before. A new digital drive selector, Alcantara steering wheel, new upholstery designs and extended digital functionalities of the MIA (Maserati Intelligent Assistant) are standard. Everything the Cielo can have, the coupé can have as well. The Cielo Spyder commands a $30,000 premium over the MC20 coupé, yet for the 2023 model year, the spyder brings major interior updates to the hardtop as well. It's also something of a visual trick to hide the cover’s extra volume. Optionally, for those who miss the rear screen, Maserati is offering a large titan finish Trident logo sticker on the roof cover panel, which screams MASERATI at everybody driving behind when the roof is raised or dropped. Busse explained that while his design team insisted on retaining the MC20’s sleek roofline and clean side profile, engineering got every chance to use the bottom half of the car, finished in carbon fiber instead of body color to optimize aerodynamics, resulting in the retained downforce levels and low drag despite the raised rear panel. With that piece being replaced by the roof holder and its cover, design chief Klaus Busse and his team went for new boomerang-shaped outlets cut into the side fenders, while engineering came up with deflectors that channel clean air to the intercooler through the equally discreet additional air intakes. ![]() Being the lifestyle choice, the MC20 Cielo Spyder isn’t here to break track records, yet will still reach 62mph in 3.0 seconds, and keep going until the 200 mph mark.Ī popular design feature of the hardtop MC20 happens to be its rear screen with the trident-shaped cutouts that aid cooling of the 3.0-liter twin-turbo V-6. The slightly higher rear section brought a minimal increase in drag, while the springs are a touch stiffer to compensate for the extra weight, aided by more rebound. The chassis settings, power curves and performance figures remain unchanged.
