The Maserati MC20 Cielo is the Perfect Everyday Supercar With Real Italian Quirks - TheSmokingTire

The Maserati MC20 Cielo is no race car, and that's a good thing. It's fast, for sure, with a 621 HP twin-turbo V6, dual-clutch gearbox, and a rigid carbon tub. But unlike so many wannabe track-star supercars, the MC20, particularly in top-down "Cielo" convertible trim is set up to be used everyday, and at that, it excels. It has a beautiful ride, plenty of space, it's stunningly beautiful and has well-thought-out controls. But it also has some interesting behaviors that remind you that yes, this is still a truly Italian car with its own charms. Matt Farah and Zack Klapman hit the canyons to explore.
Maserati provided the vehicle, insurance, and a tank of fuel for this review.

That has got to be one of the best colours I've ever seen on a car. Utterly stunning.

[@lamdo23tech]

Glad we’ll be able to pick these up for 80k next year!

[@FlightX101]

if i see clean one for 80k ill buy it lol

[@prolapsed5104]

Used coupes are listed as low as £149k in the UK, roughly 50% off in two years, so you may not be wrong :D I'd be keen on a Cielo for around £100k in three years.

[@theoneandonlybosable]

@@prolapsed5104They came to the US a bit later but a $250k car with 1500 miles is already listed for under $200k. If these fall into the mid-ones and prove reliable enough, I will buy one.

[@salimrandall]

That’s back in the days. Next year will be a mark up lol.

[@theoneandonlybosable]

@@salimrandall The car market is cratering back to below pre-COVID levels in some cases.

Maserati's best car since 1953. In a world of sport and supercars with angles and sharp edges etc this is refreshing and absolutely gorgeous. I love the way this car looks!

[@AlfaQV100]

YES! This older format for your reviews is so much better! Glad to see you’re back to it.

[@TheWolfsting]

Love the more classic video format of seeing the open road ahead, probably easier for you to produce too

[@drewwaldo4936]

Zack "but who knows what's in it" Matt "A BABY..." 🤣

[@motorvatorv888]

What a beautiful thing. Totally agree that the road focus is a good idea. Interesting that Mr Metcalf didn’t believe the weight story either and his Cielo was also about 225lbs heavier than Maserati claimed. Makes you wonder if the carbon is lead-reinforced.

[@ImADJSquack]

It was actually kg not lbs, so close to 500lbs overweight. There's definitely lead.

[@seanhallissey4796]

so refreshing to see something road oriented. The motorsports for the road thing is such a trope by now, and one that seems to make cars less distinguishable from from one another rather than a differentiator it's propped up to be.

[@JK-tu1xx]

Hard to beat the beauty of the MC20, and that color!

[@WichitayardbarberLawncare]

This car is sexy AF. Definitely adding to the lottery win list

[@phoenixrising4073]

Man that is a beautiful car. Really I could see myself owning one of these if I could afford it. It's tastefully done. I get a good feeling looking at it and seeing it go down the road. Well done Maserati.

[@ohpotatoesandmolasses]

That color is amazing.

[@gregorygant4242]

Gorgeous looking vehicle ! Great color !

I owned an alfa 4c for 3 years. Beautiful to lookat but hell to own. The experience turned me off of stellantis products. Beautiful car. I hope the reliability us as good as it looks

[@AllSpeed]

that paint on all the cars!

[@jareknowak8712]

I love the looks. I see a lot of Jaaag F-type (before facelift) in the front.

[@guillermoyelamo5816]

Would love to see a video comparing it to the Emira. Like the one you guys did with the Supra and the CTR. I think it’s the same principle but a bit elevated. Thoughts?

Beautiful spec on the convertible. The color is stunning. Used to seeing the hideous blue on the regular model didn’t appreciated the beauty of the car.

[@thetruthspeaker1978]

All about that turning radius baby 😂

[@AlanWilzig]

I almost cancelled my order after your review of the coupe. I was going to sell my 650s. Instead I decided to keep the 650 and waited a year for the Cielo which is being delivered in a week ! I wish I had it when you were here - but it will be here when you return !! It's going to be quite a build. I DID skip the exterior carbon......in favor of a 7designhouse bodykit in Texalium ! It's going to look as evocative of an aircraft as a car. Capristo corrected the exhaust, 21/22 wheels , Novitec bits, and very special aero. The most metal (*and mental) MC yet. Can't wait to show you. Sick timing to watch this fantastic vid.

[@effie4903]

Might as well only mod the front of the car. The most common view will be your MC20 in any fast car's rear mirror.

[@curbyourenthusiazm]

@@effie4903HILARIOUS 😂😂😂😂🥴

[@duncanbleak3819]

Ahh yes. The classic camera setup.................Many Thanks!

[@Cloxxki]

Harry says the example he got to test was 220 kg over spec'd weight. For all that "carbon" and a V6, a bit porky? The plug-in hybrid Ferrari 296 is a lot lighter somehow. Same for the baby McLaren hybrid as well probably.

[@nicksokolis6343]

And the funny thing is that the 296 is not even made out of carbon fibre.

[@rudfil]

Dang this thing looks gorgeous.🤩

[@acx2035]

Best OEM paint color

[@mjkarger89]

This is perfectly proportioned and a design that, I think, will be timeless.

[@Nyx_88888]

The Italians love to give dry weights, also all the mc20 paint choices are all beautiful, this is a special car, I want one...but a coupe, its like a more interesting 911tts

[@andybroer651]

Very nice review guys

[@Mingaoisfcb]

Which canyon did you guys ride through? (Love the route)

[@evolusd]

Gorgeous car

[@6SpeedTA95]

Matt I'm trying to figure out what's on your wrist? Grand Seiko? Edit: Ok now that I'm towards the end a couple more close ups that's a GS for sure. Nice piece.

[@andrewhopkins1677]

Please review the Gordan Murray T.50! It’s super attainable and everywhere so sourcing one should be a walk in the park

[@CrossWindsPat]

Gorgeous!

[@cameronhuntsucker2873]

Gorgeous!!

[@onetire]

Great review

[@zeala53]

Im guessing these are gonna drop in value to the low 100,000's, Which will in turn make it a pretty great value..

[@G0ddEityawesome]

That would be after warranty runs out and you will spend another $100k on repairs

[@somerandomfella]

Beautiful 😎👌 Novitec can fix the quiet exhaust..

[@randysearle2702]

[@Selmerpilot]

Maserati have ALWAYS made street car first, track car, maybe, which is why I always have preferred Maser

[@ridgemanron]

Harry's Garage test drove the car but was unable to understand why the large openings behind the front wheels, shoot back so much dirt that coats the rocker panels every time you drive?

[@wackit6756]

Does anyone know exactly where this beautiful Canyon is? How do I get there from Orange County? 🙏

[@stevesosebee5860]

Nice looking car 😊

[@ilmelangolo]

A very pretty one, but the interiors should be more special (especially for that price). Designers and builders should discover the importance of interior design and aesthetics: in the end it's the place where the owners stay when they are driving the car... I find there is a lot of improvement available in that area in terms of materials, shapes, styles, colours, textures... but a very few ones seem to notice that. 🤔

[@Labergemusic]

"a plastic bag, who know's whats in it" "a baby!" Matt taking some inspiration from Frank in It's Always Sunny lol

Awesome 💯

[@MicheleFerrariAX]

Sweet car, sweet GS

[@IsabelValoria]

What watch you got on Matt?

[@DaBaltimoron]

Can the suspension, engine, etc settings be set independently?

[@matmul4850]

Yes they can. You can have the dampers set to "soft" with the other stuff set to "sport" etc.

[@shoominati23]

Some of these high end car interiors make me think they lifted them directly from some ski boat manufacturers catalogue.. no imagination

[@kiddyclownandfriends9313]

What do you think about the exhaust sound?

[@Royahmar]

That green dial GS is 🔥🔥. So if the color on the Cielo!!!!

[@twoeyedbob]

Harry just weighed the ragtop and as with the coupe it’s substantially heavier than quoted

[@gson6867]

Harry Metcalf (Harry’s Garage) on his review said something astonishing about the car which I found hard to get my head around is that he weighed the car and came at nearly 1.8 tonnes!!! Almost 250 kilos more than quoted? But how….? It’s a flipping carbon tub car complete with all carbon panels. The sf90 is about the same weight and that’s got electric power units and batteries for Christ sake. Don’t understand. But it’s a pretty car and everyone seems to say it’s great to drive. Just perplexed how heavy it is and lying about it, which is a piss take really.

[@MB-zt9eo]

LOVE CIELO❤❤

[@JoseMorales-ld6er]

Please test the Spyder RS. Best regards🤗👍👍

[@mixedbyfiatcat]

❤...the MC20.

[@yogiyo888]

Thanks for a very informative review. I can conclude for me that this car is a much more prettier alternative to a 911 Turbo (S) Cabriolet. The Porsche is a better performer and a better built car but these cars are barely driven 5,000 miles per year, if that, so reliability isn’t much of a concern it seems. They do build better cars than before. As for its ability to hold value, I don’t plan on selling these things anytime soon so, whatever, who knows. I would throw every carbon fiber option with a prettiest paint to dress it up as much as possible because the aesthetics is the car’s main appeal.

[@KaneGregory]

I like this more than the 296 and the Artura!🧠🤯🔫

[@charlesclement383]

Sounds Awesome to me. May be better from the outside.

[@alexadelaide]

Bro actually said “a baby” lol

[@bradfoster8146]

"We forgot uncle Phil was in the car" 😂

[@rbslammed6163]

Why don’t you just adjust the suspension to make it softer while keeping engine in sport mode?

[@kgennuso]

as long as we're making a point about how beautiful the name is, we might as well use its actual beautiful pronunciation "chay-lo". and yes, poopidiboppy is correct.

[@MrMaxQuack]

He pronounced it the Spanish way.

[@DrewBerry1]

Beautiful car dealerships are slashing prices like crazy on this car.

[@Petrospect]

This is a pretty fair enough review, just came from Harry's vid on it. The thing is, the noise is something I'd be more critical of for 260k. Some of this does feel like they're charging this much just because they can. Come on guys, be honest about your weight too. As Zack put it at some point: it's like how much you weigh without blood. Ridiculous things. A nice thing to say, the paint reminds me of Alfa's 00s Azzurro Nuvolla. That's only a good thing because that was a f*cking spectacular color, it very nearly makes it look that expensive. Unfortunately, I don't think it is 260k beautiful. The Emira and the Artura far better seem to justify their price points; an Artura Roadster with that hydraulic steering would rule all.

[@xtnuser5338]

They were perfectly honest about the weight. They quoted it sans drive train.

[@Ham1001dy]

Why get the coupe version at his point this looks way better 🔥🔥🔥

[@prolapsed5104]

"A baby!" :D

[@tylerdaly5682]

Is that a. Bamboo Grand Seiko?

[@nicholassmith7048]

5:42 not quite regular-ass blinkers. They're the annoying old BMW-style blinkers that return to centre before the blinker has been cancelled, which are the root cause of why BMW drivers never used their blinkers.

[@TML34]

I have a BMW and the blinkers act like every other car I’ve owned. Not that I’ve ever used them, ofc. 😂

[@maseratiupgrades4363]

Did you see how beautiful the latest creation? It is called the 'La Sciolta' (translated: diarrhea).

[@TakuroSpirit77]

Oh so the Facebook ad is real. Damn, thought it was a scam.

[@GethinJames]

Good review. I've watched a few. Seems the car has an identity problem. The complete lack of storage space really sucks. Also fit and finish seems really lacking for such an expensive car.

[@Mrniceguy179]

MC20 or DB12?

[@forevr2wheels]

How do you say depreciation in Italian

[@corystansbury]

It's pretty, but I just can't imagine myself in the financial bracket where I'm viewing this purchase in an "and" way versus "or" way. And when considering it with "or," I'm buying an eRay to do what this car does, some variant of Boxster, a C6Z, and a Gen V Viper.

[@sergiopereira9546]
