Maserati has launched its latest supercar, the MC20 Cielo “MC Pura”, in India. The country is the first market in the region to get the new model, following its global debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed and a showcase at Pebble Beach. The launch also coincided with the opening of Maserati’s new dealership and service facility in New Delhi, signalling the brand’s intent to strengthen its presence in India.
Maserati expands footprint in Delhi.
The new showroom, operated by DPS Motors LLP as Maserati North India, is located in Mohan Cooperative Industrial Estate, South Delhi. Spread over 1,100 square metres, it houses four display bays, six workshop bays, and a dedicated wash area. The facility will offer sales, service, and customisation under one roof.
According to Philippe Claverol, Head of Maserati Overseas Region, the Delhi facility is the brand’s first regional showroom to showcase the MC Pura. The move reflects Maserati’s aim to build a stronger retail and service network for its growing Indian customer base.
MC Pura: Maserati’s new-age supercar
The MC20 Cielo “MC Pura” continues Maserati’s return to the performance car space, sitting at the top of its global line-up. It’s available in both coupé and convertible versions, with the latter featuring a retractable glass roof.
Built around a carbon-fibre monocoque, the MC Pura weighs under 1,500 kg, giving it a strong weight-to-power ratio of 2.33 kg per bhp. Power comes from Maserati’s 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged V6 Nettuno engine, developed entirely in-house and shared with the standard MC20. It produces 630 bhp at 7,500 rpm and 720 Nm of torque from 3,000 rpm, driving the rear wheels through an 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox.
Maserati claims a 0–100 kmph time of 2.9 seconds, putting it squarely in the same league as established supercars from Ferrari and McLaren.
Technical highlights
The Nettuno engine is notable for its pre-chamber combustion system with twin spark plugs, a technology derived from Formula 1. This setup improves efficiency and throttle response while maintaining emissions compliance.
Access to the cabin is via butterfly doors, which also show off the carbon chassis. The convertible Cielo version adds a PDLC glass roof that can switch from opaque to transparent in a second, the first of its kind in this class.
Inside, the focus remains on the driver, with a minimalist layout, digital instrumentation, and extensive use of carbon fibre and Alcantara.
Built in Modena
Like the MC20, the MC Pura is manufactured at Maserati’s Viale Ciro Menotti facility in Modena, the brand’s historic home. The same plant also produces the Nettuno engine, the GT2 Stradale, and soon, the next-generation GranTurismo and GranCabrio. Maserati’s Fuoriserie customisation programme is also based here, allowing customers to tailor paint, trim, and performance options to individual tastes.
Pricing and availability
The MC Pura Coupé is priced at ₹4.12 crore, while the Cielo convertible starts at ₹5.12 crore (ex-showroom, India). Options and customisations will, of course, push prices higher.
Deliveries are expected to begin soon, with bookings now open through the new Delhi dealership.
Summary
Maserati’s latest move suggests a renewed push for relevance in India’s niche supercar market. The MC20 Cielo “MC Pura” combines Italian design, advanced engineering, and F1-derived tech — but it will need more than performance to win over Indian buyers in a segment dominated by established rivals. Still, for enthusiasts who value exclusivity and craftsmanship over badge recognition, the new MC Pura could be one of Maserati’s most convincing efforts yet.
