There are sports cars, there are supercars, and then there are Maseratis that sound like they belong in a physics class. Meet the Maserati MCPURA, the car that comes with its own equation: E = MCPURA. Einstein had relativity, Maserati has marketing hyperbole. But hey, when your ride debuts at Goodwood, you can get away with it.
The MCPURA is pitched as the evolution of the MC20, only now the spirit of Modena has been concentrated into something sleeker, lighter, and flashier. It rocks a carbon-fibre monocoque that keeps the weight under 1,500 kg and a 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 Nettuno engine that belts out 630 CV at 7,500 rpm with 720 Nm of torque. That works out to a class-leading 2.33 kg per CV. In other words, it is fast, loud, and unapologetically Italian.
And because it is Maserati, drama comes standard. The MCPURA greets you with “Butterfly” doors that show off the carbon-fibre chassis, and if you go for the convertible Cielo, you also get a fancy retractable PDLC glass roof that flips from opaque to transparent in a second. Perfect for when you want the “sky feeling” without messing up your hair.
The launch colour is Ai Aqua Rainbow, a paint that literally changes hue in the sunlight like some rolling prism. Inside, Alcantara Ice seats are laser-etched with futuristic Tridents, backed with iridescent red and blue accents that shift with the light. Maserati also cooked up new shades like Devil Orange, Verde Royale, and Night Interaction, but of course, you can hit up Fuoriserie for your own custom palette.
The Maserati MCPURA is available now in coupé and Cielo convertible forms, handcrafted in Modena. As for the price, if you are among the richest and a loyal fan, probably someone has already contacted you. Then again, if you need to ask (about the price), you probably cannot afford it. But hey, there’s no stopping you from learning more, right?
