The MC20 Convertible will be the Italian Automakers first mid-engined Roadster in 16 years, following in the footsteps of the bonkers MC12 Spyder
Feast your eyes, everyone, on what will be Maserati's first mid-engined roadster in nearly 16 long years
Its predecessor of course is the bonkers Maserati MC12 from 2005, which was nothing short of a track weapon for the road
At first glance, it looks like the convertible will retain most of the sheet metal of the coupe. Expect to find a folding hardtop roof, as is the norm with most high-end super exotics these days
Now when you chop off the roof, designers and engineers have to come up with a way to retain the handling dynamics and the lines of the vehicle
This is where materials like carbon fiber and composite materials come into play, helping to keep weight down. The coupe weighs in at 3252 pounds
