Along came a spider from Italy and his name was Silo.
On Monday, Maserati announced the name of its supercar convertible MC20 Cielo before its May 25 debut.
Maserati said the name Cielo translates into the sky, highlighting the open-air nature of the drop-top MC20 supercar.
With the roof of prototypes heavily camouflaged, the MC20 Cielo is expected to feature a retractable hard top, although removable panels may also be on the cards.
In addition to the top drop capability, the MC20 Cielo should look almost like a coupe.
Teaser to debut Maserati MC20 Convertible in 2022
A mid-engine design with a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V-6 rated at 621 hp and 538 lb-ft of torque will power the rear wheels via an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
The MC20 Cielo should be able to sprint from 200 mph and 0-60 mph in 2.9 seconds.
A pair of 10.2-inch screens and a digital cluster for infotainment will let passengers know what’s going on. The ignition button will be mounted on the steering wheel and carbon fiber trim should be available throughout the cabin.
The MC20 is priced at $ 212,000, and the MC20 Cielo will undoubtedly carry a premium.
The open-top model of the MC20 will not end. Maserati has confirmed that an electric MC20 is coming in the future, but an electric GranTurismo will be the automaker’s first electric car.
