Maserati MCPURA
Car and Driver says Maserati's halo supercar is the MCPura, formerly the MC20, boasting devastatingly beautiful bodywork to accompany its high-performance attitude, wearing subtle design tweaks, a few interior upgrades, and a special matte paint job option called AI Aqua Rainbow, offered in both coupe and Cielo convertible body styles and powered by the same 621-hp twin-turbo V6 from last year's MC20. Evo reviewed the MCPura under the headline 'The Modern-Day Ferrari F40,' noting the MC20 took top honors at Evo's Car of the Year 2022 but has since been overshadowed by McLaren and Ferrari's latest and greatest, and that Maserati says no changes have been made under the carbon skin to preserve the MC20's approachable nature, meaning the MCPura's mechanicals are identical to the MC20's. According to Evo, Maserati claims the MCPura weighs 1,475 kg at the curb, though that figure is suspiciously identical to the MC20's 'dry' weight figure.
