- Original MSRP was $319,395 with $50K in carbon and audio options.
- Features a 621 hp twin-turbo V6 and blue Alcantara-trimmed cabin.
- MC20 is one of the last great Italian supercars without hybridization.
It takes more than good looks and big power numbers to hold value in today’s supercar market. Even a car as striking and technically impressive as the Maserati MC20 isn’t immune to the harsh reality of depreciation.

That’s the painful lesson one owner learned after parting with his 2024 MC20 Cielo, bought brand new in February 2025. Originally priced at $319,395, the car just changed hands for $213,000 after racking up only 786 miles (1,264 km) in less than a year.
In fact, according to the Carfax, he stopped driving it in November last year, when he consigned it to a Mercedes dealer, which then listed it on Bring a Trailer.
Options That Add Up
To our eyes, the spec of this MC20 droptop is to die for. It’s finished in Grigio Incognito, a simple shade of grey that accentuates the gorgeous Italian lines and those wide rear hips. The original buyer didn’t skimp on options either, shelling out $39,000 for the Exterior Carbon Fiber package, which adds exposed carbon to the hood, front splitter, side skirts, and rear diffuser.
Sitting on 20-inch wheels in a Glossy Dark Miron finish, the Cielo also sports blue brake calipers tucked behind the spokes. The color pairing leans just enough toward extroversion without feeling overdone.
The cabin is trimmed in blue and black Alcantara with carbon fiber accents throughout as part of an optional $7,000 package. It also rocks a $4,000 Sonus Faber audio system and, thanks to the presence of an infotainment display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, is more than up for the task of grand touring, as well as being pushed to its limits on the track.
Bring a Trailer
In developing its first mid-engined supercar since the Ferrari Enzo-based Maserati MC12, the Italian brand developed a new 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 with 621 hp and 538 lb-ft. While this new engine lacks the cylinder count of a V8 or V12, it makes up for it with responsiveness and character. It’s right in the same performance ballpark as Ferrari’s own 296 GTB, which also runs a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6.
Still, numbers on a spec sheet aren’t always enough. The MC20 may tick the boxes for design, engineering, and performance, but resale values are telling a different story.
It’s hard to pinpoint exactly why MC20 prices have fallen so significantly, but Maserati clearly doesn’t hold the same brand cachet as Ferrari. It’s also worth noting that it’s possible to buy a low-mileage 296 GTB with more performance for a touch over $300,000, making the MC20 a tough sell at or near its MSRP.
