When you think of Italian cars, two things come to mind: speed and style. The Maserati MC20—often referred to by enthusiasts as the embodiment of "Maserati Corse Pura" (Pure Racing)—is the perfect example of this. It is a car that brings the thrill of the racetrack to the busy streets of Mumbai, Delhi, and Bangalore.
While the exterior turns heads with its butterfly doors, the real magic happens when you step inside. In this review, we take a deep dive into the interior and technology of this Italian masterpiece to see how it balances raw motorsport energy with high-end luxury.
The first thing you notice when you slide into the car is that there is no clutter. Maserati has adopted a "minimalist" design philosophy. In many luxury cars in India, you find buttons everywhere. In the MC Pura (MC20), almost everything is removed to keep you focused on the road.
The interior is designed around the driver. The dashboard is slim and low, offering excellent visibility of the road ahead—a crucial feature for navigating Indian traffic. The shapes inside are simple, sharp, and clean, focusing on the essentials of driving.
Since this is a car born from racing ("Maserati Corse" means Maserati Racing), the materials used are lightweight but premium.
Even though the car focuses on driving, Maserati has included top-tier technology to make life easier. The car features two high-definition 10-inch screens.
One of the coolest tech features is the rearview mirror. Because the engine is placed right behind the driver's head, looking out the back window is almost impossible.
To fix this, Maserati installed a high-definition camera at the back of the car. The rearview mirror is actually a digital screen that displays a live video feed from behind. This offers a wide, clear view of traffic behind you, which is a massive safety feature on Indian highways.
While the engine sound is beautiful, sometimes you want to listen to music. The MC Pura comes with an optional sound system from Sonus faber, a high-end Italian audio company.
It features 12 speakers strategically placed around the small cabin. The sound is crisp, deep, and immersive. It ensures that even if you are stuck in a traffic jam in Bangalore, you can enjoy a concert-like experience inside your car.
Supercars are often difficult to drive in India due to speed breakers and potholes. However, the interior tech includes a Vehicle Lift System.
With the push of a button on the steering wheel, the nose of the car lifts up hydraulically. This allows you to clear tall speed bumps or steep parking ramps without scraping the expensive front bumper. Once you pick up speed, the car automatically lowers itself back down.
The steering wheel is thick and sporty. Following the style of Formula 1 cars, the Engine Start/Stop button is located right on the steering wheel, not on the dashboard. There is also a dedicated button for "Launch Control," which is used for rapid acceleration on a track.
The interior of the Maserati MC Pura (MC20) is a masterclass in balance. It doesn't overwhelm you with unnecessary gadgets, yet it provides every piece of technology you need for a modern luxury experience.
For the Indian buyer, it offers the prestige of Italian craftsmanship with the necessary tech—like the suspension lifter and digital mirrors—to make it drivable in real-world conditions. It is a car where luxury meets motorsport, without compromising on either.
