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.

Porsche just proved the Cayenne Electric is the most impressive performance vehicle you can drive
Car, Transportation, Vehicle

I have seen the movies. I know there is no way that a car can survive in the jet blast of a plane. I remember the scene from Casino Royale. And for me, that is science. But the engineers at Porsche and Stratolaunch aren’t so sure. They operate in the real world of science, and they came together to see if the Porsche Cayenne Electric could withstand the take-off power of one of the largest and most powerful aircraft in the world. Why? Because they can and because curiosity oftentimes leads to something awesome. Spoiler alert…the car holds up. But don’t take my word for it.

The car is its own beast. It’s got the ability to keep up and play in this space. – Orlando Bloom, Porsche ambassador

Indian commits to American artistry with Signature Series
Machine, Spoke, Helmet

There is something about sitting on the back of a motorcycle that you can’t feel anywhere else. Road trips feel different on the back of a bike versus in a car. Maybe it is the solo aspect of it. Maybe there is the feeling of the wind. Who knows? What I do know is that there is nothing like a bike ride through the countryside. The winding roads, the sunsets through the visor of the helmet, all of it is unrivaled. Indian Motorcycle understands this, and they have since they became the first American motorcycle company. Now, they have dropped a new Signature Series of four motorcycles echoing their commitment to American artistry and craftsmanship.

Since 1901, Indian Motorcycle has pursued the ultimate intersection of form and function – motorcycles that are as beautiful in design as they are sophisticated in performance – Mike Kennedy, CEO of Indian Motorcycle

Is the BMW XM a perfect blend of practicality and performance
Car, Transportation, Vehicle

The BMW XM has received a bit of a mixed response, but there’s a strong argument that it’s a logical next step on from the BMW M5. Think about it, the M5 is special because it combines practicality with exceptional performance. The BMW XM does the same thing, though you’re trading a little handling quality for far more practicality.

On a recent venture in BMW’s performance SUV, I weighed up the pros and cons of BMW’s most divisive vehicle. And it may be a better choice than BMW’s flagship.
