The Maserati MC20 (MC being the acronym for Maserati Corse 2020, internal code M240)[5] is a two-seater, rear-mid-engine sports car produced by Italian car manufacturer Maserati.[6]

The debut of the MC20 was initially scheduled for May 2020,[6] but was rescheduled along with brand redesign for September 2020 in Modena.[7] A racing variant was also announced at the same time.[8] The open top variant of the MC20 called the Cielo (Italian for sky) made its debut in May 2022.[9] The car was developed by the Maserati Innovation Lab with an all-electric option slated to reach production in the future.[10][11] The new sports car is produced at the Maserati Modena plant that is undergoing necessary modernization.[12] The new car's logo appeared on a Maserati-sponsored Multi 70 trimaran's mainsail that was due to race in the RORC Caribbean 600.[13]
