The roof itself is powered electrically (lighter than electro-hydraulic) and can be raised or stowed in just 12-seconds at speeds of up to 31mph. Unfortunately, it’s activated via the central touchscreen and you have to press the little arrow graphic for the entire duration. The roof's glass panel uses polymer-dispersed liquid crystal and can switch between opaque or clear instantly.

Maserati has also used the aluminium stowage area as a structural part to increase rigidity. Even so, springs and dampers have been retuned to account for the extra weight and the decrease in torsional stiffness.

The roof itself is powered electrically (lighter than electro-hydraulic) and can be raised or stowed in just 12-seconds at speeds of up to 31mph., and is even truer for the new open-topped Cielo version that Autoweek recently got to drive in Sicily.a 100-horsepower boost .European editor, secrets uncoverer, futurist, first man behind any wheel Maserati’s convertible MC20 driven New Cielo changes the supercar’s attitude But it’s still damn quick… Statistics suggest that every third super sports car is a convertible, spyder or roadster. Unfortunately, it’s activated via the central touchscreen and you have to press the little arrow graphic for the entire duration.

The roof's glass panel uses polymer-dispersed liquid crystal and can switch between opaque or clear instantly. The Cielo’s has a glass hardtop which can fold away beneath the rear clamshell, an electrically powered process that takes just 12 seconds and which can be carried out at speeds up to 30 mph. Maserati has also used the aluminium stowage area as a structural part to increase rigidity.

Giving up two or three tenths of a second to highway speeds and forfeiting a few miles per hour at the top end is a fair trade for unlimited headroom. Even so, springs and dampers have been retuned to account for the extra weight and the decrease in torsional stiffness. VIEW PHOTOS Maserati The Cielo looks as handsome as the coupe with the roof up, the biggest difference being its lack of a glass cover over the rear-mounted engine, and with the top lowered the Cielo crosses the line into outright gorgeousness.

Inside, alcantara and leather rule together with the piccolo centre touchscreen, yet the main attraction is of course the power-operated variable-tint glass roof which disappears behind the seats as soon as the weatherman gives the operator the thumbs up. The steering has just the tiniest bit of play around dead centre but is deliciously accurate once you have lock applied, the engine is gruff but fairly well-mannered at low speeds but then morphs as you up the commitment and makes all sorts of fantastic turbo shrieks and the chassis is terrifically poised. Although the roof operates quickly and without drama, ordering it up or down is more trouble thanks to the need to do so through the touchscreen interface.

Chassis changes further set the Cielo apart. There are Wet, GT, Sport and Corsa mode plus a separate damper button to increase or decrease the rate of damping (in GT mode it increases stiffness from Soft to Mid, in Sport mode a press reverts to Soft and in Corsa it decreases from Hard to Mid), and on bumpy Sicilian roads the Sport/Mid combination is excellent.

However, jump up to Corsa and you do benefit from a much more lenient setting for the traction and stability control, which works brilliantly. With the top lowered the Cielo crosses the line into outright gorgeousness. Where the MC20 Cielo really scores is by genuinely balancing different personalities.

Chopping off the top also gets rid of the secondary load line that prevents the carbon fiber monocoque from bending and cracking in the event of an accident by transferring forces, so Maserati cleverly added cast-aluminum inserts to the doors and the sills to offset the loss of rigidity and keep the tub in one piece under pressure. So often a car claimed to be a GT car one second and supercar the next just feels compromised and never hits either target. Electrically dimming the glass roof’s glass panel also only brings a slight difference to the amount of light getting through.9sec from 0-62mph.

The Cielo, however, nails both. There’s a little more texture through the steering on poor surfaces and you do sense it’s slightly heavier and less controlled than the coupé at times, too. Luggage space could be politely described as bijou; there is a 3.

The Cielo also inaugurates a suite of electronic driving aids that includes traffic sign recognition, a forward collision warning system, and automatic emergency . However, it rarely detracts from the sheer excitement this car can serve up. The engine and 8-speed dual-clutch ‘box are superb, they really are.5 cu-ft one under the hood.

Only the strangely long brake pedal that requires plenty of firm input erodes confidence. Even in GT mode, which is the default configuration, the MC20 Cielo isn’t overly soft.

The shift paddles are so irresistibly cool and long and tactile that hitting the Drive read Auto button is strictly an intra-city excuse. Roof down it’s pretty calm in here, too. The Nettuno V6 is both the starring and defining feature.
