Maserati has joined forces with Japanese designer Hiroshi Fujiwara to create a stunning bespoke MC20 Cielo dubbed the MC20 Cielo Fuoriserie. 

Fujiwara is the creative director of the brand Fragment, which has a long-standing partnership with Maserati. 

The beautiful vehicle is part of a larger ‘refined collection of cars curated by select tastemakers’ and really showcases the depth of Maserati’s customization program. 

For the first time ever, Maserati has removed its iconic Trident logo from a car and replaced it with Fragment’s double lightning bolt symbol.

The bespoke MC20 Cielo Fuoriserie is a very special vehicle

Maserati unveiled the MC20 Cielo in 2022 as an open-top variant of the MC20. 

The car features the same 3.0 litre twin-turbo V6 and styling you’d find in the original MC20 but added a two-piece foldable hard-top that has an electrochromic glass roof. 

Now, the luxury carmaker has unveiled two special edition MC20 Cielo Fuoriseries and the cars really are a thing of beauty.

First up, there’s one with Nero Vulcano paintwork and Fragment’s badge in matte black – replacing the Trident symbol for the first time in Maserati history. 

The second option is presented in Bianco Audace with a matte white Fragment badge.

Inside, both cars have 6-way power sport seats in black full leather with white stitching and the Trident logo embroidered on the headrests; there’s also a matching sport steering wheel in black with white stitching. 

The cars also come with a special nameplate between the headrests that marks the collaboration between Maserati and Fujiwara.

The bespoke cars are ‘out of the ordinary’

The cars highlight the scale of the Italian marque’s customization program, allowing customers to create a true one-off vehicle.

“Fuoriserie means ‘out of the ordinary’ in Italian, and our Trident’s customization program is conceived to create extraordinary experiences for our clients,” Maserati’s head of design Klaus Busse said in a statement. 

“Our wish here is for them to express their personality and passion by creating their very own Maserati.

“Just like Hiroshi, everyone can choose from a wide range of personalization features from our Fuoriserie collections or take more individual journeys to design true one-of-a-kind rolling sculptures.”

Both MC20 Cielo Fuoriseries configurations are now available to customers on request – if you fancy getting your hands on something a bit special in 2025.
