Maserati GranTurismo vs Maserati MC20 Cielo Comparison

The sleek styling of the Maserati GranTurismo is captivating. It is hard to ignore it. However, after taking it for a spin, it becomes quite evident that it underdelivers in many departments. While its performance is respectable, its ride quality doesn’t match the thrilling edge that you expect from a supercar. Its firm ride compromises comfort on longer journeys that may not suit everyone. Inside, the technology seems to be a bit outdated compared in comparison to its competitors in the grand-touring segment. While it shines in aesthetics, it fails to keep up where it really matters.

With its thrilling driving experience and stunning design, the Maserati MC20 Cielo sets the tone for the future of Maserati. While its V6 twin-turbo engine seems to be a bit conventional in comparison to competitors, it still offers optimum character. Given its versatility, the Cielo easily handles twisty canyon roads and feels balanced through tight roads. While I did not find its steering to be particularly communicative, it’s direct and quick, coupled with a grippy and agile front end, resulting in a vehicle that feels lighter than its dimensions. Its carbon-ceramic brakes give a racecar-like feeling.
