2022 Maserati MC20 Convertible Teased Ahead Of The Official Unveil - gallery

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
