This is David Beckham’s Maserati MC20 Fuoriserie
Golden Balls himself helped to design this black and pink wonder inspired by Miami
Of course it’s cool, it’s a Maserati specced by and for David Beckham. Welcome to Beck's MC20 Fuoriserie Edition, described as “a love letter for the magic city of Miami”.
Fuoriserie is Maser’s own customisation programme, and Beckham decided to treat his V6-engined MC20 supercar to a spot of after hours vibes. He’s applied the colours of his Miami-based football team - black and pink - and used gloss and matt surfaces to subtly play off each other. Look, it's an MC20 for DB. Just roll with it.
The body is gloss black, with opaque black Trident logos on the grille and C-pillar, and an opaque Maser logo on the back. The MC20 door badge is pink, as are – and this is a wonderful touch – the Brembo brake calipers.
The leather and Alcantara interior is black too, but gets lovely contrast-stitching in pink, while the centre tunnel features a personalised nameplate in italicised pink: ‘For David’. But of course.

New Maserati MC20 convertible previewed in official images
Open-top supercar will be brand's first mid-engined roadster since the MC12
Maserati is preparing to launch a convertible version of its flagship MC20 sports car in the coming months.
The first completed prototype has starred in an official photoshoot ahead of on-road testing getting underway. The light camouflage and production-ready styling suggest it is nearly ready for reveal, now that the hardtop car is open to order.
The MC20 convertible wears a bold new-look livery in the style of clouds. "After all", Maserati said, "it is a convertible". It will be Maserati's first convertible since the GranCabrio bowed out in 2020, and the first mid-engined roadster since production of the MC12 supercar ended in 2005.
There are no shots of the rear, but the silhouette of this prototype suggests it will feature a folding hard top, rather than a fabric item – similar to its Ferrari F8 Spider rival.
Otherwise, it is expected to be technically and stylistically identical to the coupé. That means it will take its power from a 621bhp mid-mounted, twin-turbo V6 which revs to 7500rpm and will get it from 0-62mph in around 3.0 seconds. The convertible should nearly match the coupé's 203mph top speed.
A folding hard top will likely bump the MC20's kerb weight up slightly. For reference, the similarly conceived Ferrari F8 Spider weighs 70kg more than its coupé sibling.
As for pricing, expect the convertible to command a slight premium over the coupé, which costs £187,230.

Maserati MC20 Convertible officially teased in early prototype guise
The Maserati MC20 Convertible has been officially teased by the Italian marque as its first-ever open-top mid-engined sportscar. With this teaser, it also reveals an all-new look for its camouflage.
Like the MC20 Coupé, the brand says that the Maserati MC20 Convertible remains a “one of a kind, daring in every way and designed for perfection”. The body is made of carbon fibre and composite materials in its entirety, an identical solution studied for all the configurations to come. This means that in the future, electric alternatives will be available.
As for the new camouflage seen on this Maserati MC20 Convertible prototype, the manufacturer states that, with it being an open-top, the design features a play of clouds in the sky.

Maserati MC20 Convertible Announced
Despite the supercar convertible market shrinking over the years, Maserati will be making a drop-top version of its MC20. Here’s what we know about the all-new Maserati MC20 Convertible.
Accompanied by what’s possibly one of the world’s shortest press releases, were a series of images showing off a camouflaged car. Maserati claims that what you see here is the first prototype of the MC20 Convertible.
The Maserati MC20 Convertible will be the second model to come from the MC20 family, with the third being an all-electric derivative.
As a reminder, the Maserati MC20 is powered by Maserati’s first in-house-designed engine in 20 years, the new carbon fibre-tubbed and butterfly-doored MC20 is powered by a twin-turbo 3.0-litre V6. It utilises its lightweight body and advanced aerodynamics to accelerate from standstill to 100 kph in less than 2.9 sec and on to a top speed of 325 kph using an 8-speed wet dual-clutch transmission.
Total outputs are pegged at 463 kW at 7 500 rpm and 730 Nm of torque from 3 000 to 5 500 rpm. We’re yet to have a drive, but the new Maserati MC20 will be touching down in SA in 2022. Top Gear calls it “a highly engaging and authentic supercar that also slips surprisingly persuasively into elegant GT mode” so consider us excited.

Maserati MC20 convertible previewed in prototype form
Maserati has officially confirmed that there will be a convertible version of its innovative MC20 supercar and these official images show an early prototype featuring a cloud-inspired disguise.
Unfortunately we don’t get to see it with the top down just yet; according to Autocar the new drop-top is likely to feature a retractable hard-top like the Ferrari F8 Spider.
“Like the MC20 coupé, the new model remains one of a kind, daring in every way and designed for perfection,” Maserati said. “The body is made of carbon fibre and composite materials in its entirety, an identical solution studied for all the configurations to come”.
Although no powertrain details have been released, it’s practically a given that the Maserati MC20 convertible will feature the same 3-litre V6 turbopetrol engine as its tin-top sibling, which produces 463kW.

Oh look, Maserati is readying an MC20 Cabrio drop-top supercar
New MC20 Cabrio inbound for summer 2022, with suspected folding hard-top
Hello, welcome to 2022. New to supercars, are you? Well here’s a truism to get you started: manufacturers spend countless hours and squillions of R&D pennies making their supercars as light and stiff as they can profitably get away with… then buyers insist all of that maths is compromised so they can get a 200mph suntan. Convertible supercars never go out of fashion.
Here’s one of your new sunseekers for 2022: the Maserati MC20 Cabrio. These official ‘spy shots’ preview the new drop-top Maserati flagship, which is expected to feature a folding hard-top roof similar in operation to the likes of the Ferrari F8 Spider and various roofless McLarens.
Because the MC20 is based on a carbon fibre tub, though, it ought not to need half an orchard of tree trunks bolting underneath it to keep it stiff when the roof comes off. Ferrari's aluminium F8 Spider puts on 70kg when it’s de-topped, but a McLaren 720S Spider is only 40kg heavier than the coupe, thanks to the carbon chassis.

Maserati MC20 review: a first-rate addition to the supercar pantheon
Is the price hard to swallow?
Not for the way the car looks, acts or drives. It’s a corker, a first rate addition to the supercar pantheon. But Maserati is coming here from a standing start and charging this much is punchy considering the brand’s lack of presence in this area. Maserati has also copied Ferrari and McLaren’s options strategy – the car you’re looking at here was specced to £254,975, which included £34,200 of exterior carbon pack, £3,250 for nose lift and £550 for heated seats.
It’s vital for Maserati to position the car correctly of course, to pitch it at the right level to the right customers. Let’s hope the global economy stays strong for them, because this year much more technically advanced cars such as the Ferrari 296GTB and McLaren Artura hybrids are coming to move the game on. Maserati will fight back – an all-electric MC20 is in the pipeline. But is that really the direction we want the supercar to be taking? This one proves there’s still plenty of life in the existing format. Well done Maserati – we weren’t sure you had it in you.

Right, Maserati MC20: good car or bad car? Good car. Genuinely. Which comes as a pleasant surprise, doesn’t it? Maserati has operated at the fringes for so long, been so inconsistent, that we’re not even sure what the brand stands for any more.

Maserati MC20 2022 UK review
Should I buy one?
Our drive was restricted to the road, and in a January chill on winter tyres, you only learn so much, but I thought it was downright fantastic. One of the most dynamically capable cars I’ve driven in recent times.
It’s not short of competition, mind. Perhaps inevitably, it’s less dramatic than some of those; it doesn’t have the V10 of the Huracán or even the shouty V8 ‘meh’ of an old McLaren. It’s rather a lot more expensive than the R8 or the Corvette, too.
But still, I think there’s something about this car. Whether it was always meant to have the Maserati badge or whether it came to it during its development, as Maserati reinventions go, this is the best I remember. I loved every bit of it.
