By Novitec’s lofty standards for dramatic plastic surgery, its interpretation of the Maserati MC20 Cielo is actually...subtle. Though there’s nothing subtle at all about the performance, with the Nettuno twin-turbo V6 receiving a strident makeover, which now peaks at 721hp and 817Nm of torque.
The number-fiddling doesn’t stop there, that power boost slashing the 100kph run down to just 2.8sec, albeit toward an unchanged top speed of 325kph. This has been achieved thanks to several new mechanical add-ons, including a flap-regulated exhaust, metal catalysts, and a replacement particulate filter.

You also get very new and very yellow sports suspension springs, which are tucked away behind forged 21-inch alloys from Vossen. The gold theme plays off the pearlescent grey body quite well, we’d proffer.
Before you start making a commotion about Novitec getting all grown up, have a closer look and you’ll spot a sliver of its core DNA in there: a sharp ducktail spoiler, carbon bits along the vented hood, and even more carbon molded into the front splitter. Novitec will also throw on a gold-plated Inconel exhaust if your pockets are deep enough. That’s Formula 1-grade equipment, by the way. How about that for a flex?
Unfortunately, Novitec hasn’t yet announced just how much said flex will cost, but we do know you’ll require one £220,000 Maserati MC20 Cielo to begin with.
