“Cielo” is Italian for sky, making it an apt name for Maserati’s MC20,whose roof retracts back and away, stashed above the engine to provide a glorious, unimpeded view of the sun, the moon, and the sky above. Rainy day? No problem — use the touchpad menu to transform the electrochromic glass roof panel from opaque to clear. Powered by a 630-hp V6 linked to an 8-speed transmission, it will go from 0 to 60 in about three seconds, making it a sure bet to get that last parking space at Whole Foods. The launch control mounted in the steering wheel’s hub makes this an easily-repeatable event. Gull-wing doors rise to the sky to allow entry or exit. The interior is a no-nonsense blend of carbon fiber accents, red stitching, and alcantra-covered surfaces. Best of all, a pleasantly comfortable suspension makes it viable as a daily driver; Maserati.com.
