What a mess for a Maserati
Bad news for owners of the high-end supercar that made a splash in 2022. Several Maserati MC20 Cielos have been forced to undergo recalls. The open version shares many structural components with its larger sister. The first concept, called “the fist of its kind”, will be assembled in Modena at the end of 2021. MC is an acronym for Maserati Corsewhich has been embracing the extreme philosophy of the MC12 supercar since 2004. The number 20, on the other hand, is a nod to the year of the coupe’s introduction.
Once again, the two-seater from Trident has built a strong connection with motorsport, with an emphasis on futuristic style. A new cycle has been initiated. The MC20 is very aggressive, without giving up the usual elegance that characterizes the Trident’s DNA.

Unfortunately, 59 Cielo examples were recalled. in 8% of cases Seal failure which holds a pin that connects the windshield frame to the bodywork. The roof strength will be affected. Since early July, the Emilia-based company has had to start visual inspections on all of its Spider super sports cars to assess the correct installation of the sealant.
