Maserati has officially introduced its new MCPURA super sports car at the Turin Auto Show. The model, which follows its first appearance at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in July, was shown in both coupé and cabrio versions.

The cabrio, named Cielo, and the coupé were displayed in Piazza Reale with a new Ai Aqua Rainbow finish. The Turin debut marked the car’s national premiere in Italy and highlighted Maserati’s ongoing focus on performance and design.

The Maserati MCPURA

The MCPURA is based on the Maserati MC20 and comes in two versions: coupé and Cielo. Both use a carbon fiber monocoque chassis to keep weight under 3,300 pounds. Power comes from Maserati’s 630-horsepower Nettuno V6 engine, which uses pre-chamber combustion technology. With its weight-to-power ratio of 5.1 pounds per horsepower, the car is positioned among the most competitive in its segment.

Key features include “Butterfly” doors on both models and, for the Cielo, a retractable electrochromic glass roof. The car was shown in Ai Aqua Rainbow, a new paint developed through Maserati’s Fuoriserie customization program. Production takes place at Maserati’s historic Modena facility, where painting and personalization are also carried out.

Turin Auto Show

The Turin Auto Show, now in its second edition, ran from September 26 to 28, 2025. It is staged as an open-air event in central Turin and is gaining attention as a platform for both Italian and international automakers.

Highlights included a parade on September 27 that began at the Reggia di Venaria and ended in Piazza San Giovanni. Maserati owners drove models such as the GranTurismo and MC20, with television presenter Cristina Chiabotto joining the event in a GranCabrio.

A Porsche is one of the most recognizable cars on the road. You always know when you are looking at one. So, it stands to reason that people love them, right? Of course they do. But loving a car and knowing how to drive one are very different. What is it that Ja Rule said in The Fast and the Furious? “We know a few things. And one of the things we knows is, it isn’t how you stand by your car, it is how to drive your car. You better learn that.” How do you learn to drive a Porsche? At the Porsche Track Experience, which has offered programs on everything from a single-day basics class up to a three-day advanced course.

The next evolution of the sports car: Porsche redesigns an icon
City, Car, Transportation

Authenticity. It is what we are looking for nowadays as consumers. Thirty years ago, we looked for brand names. We strived for status and letting all those around us see that what we wore, where we lived, where we dined, and finally, what we drove, symbolized our success in life. Then all of that started to stumble, and every industry felt the recession. Of course, the recession was temporary, but the effects of it were not. What we started to look for after that was something real. We realized that stuff…was just stuff. Now, when I look at cars, or suits, or restaurants, I ask myself: What is this going to make me feel?

That is what the new Porsche Mission S does; it makes me feel like vintage New York and the upstate escape.
