I presume the rear window louvers ( aka louvres ) are removable ?

That's a good question, Dan. I think they are part of the overall engine cover structure and hence fixed (of course, one could open it, but in one piece), but I am sure Maserati would accommodate special solutions within its new Fuoriserie program: Maserati - FuoriSerie, il programma di personalizzazione del Tridente

How would you describe it 'in person'?
Did they fire up the engine?

I believe from my experience yesterday that Mc20 enthusiasts are very different from today's Ferrari enthusiasts.
Less aggressive than the Ferraris, and with more fluid lines, it will be successful with amateurs who prefer a more discreet sports car.

I am not at all convinced "amateurs would prefer a more discreet sports car" ; probably rather the opposite ,... but I certainly see the lure of the MC20's design. It is very exquisitely elegant, yet a full blown sports car.

We race at the track and relax on the street.....unless poked one too many times......

Is there any reason why the MC20 convertible couldn‘t have the same doors design ? I know absolutely nothing about structural engineering, so just trying to figure out if it would only require a fairly standard built modification, as is the case with any regular doors convertible, or a major change which would add a much heftier price tag to the model .
I only recall seeing coupes with “unconventional“ doors, although there may be convertibles out there with them, it’s just that none come to mind at the moment.. 🤔 ..

McLaren does this all day long.

I just love this formula: carbon tub, hardtop spider, doors that go up... I can't wait to see the Spyder version of MC20!

I really hope this is not true. Maserati must develop a racing version of the MC20:

Have Maserati Shelved Plans For GT3 Version of MC20? | dailysportscar.com

Another potential motorsport victim of the economic downturn caused by the COVID19 pandemic may well have been a GT3 version of the recently launched Maserati MC20 Supercar. When the new car was unveiled, a racing version was said to be under development but DSC sources have confirmed that an...

I really like GT races and just about all the car brands participating.. having a Maserati MC there would be heart-warming and pride-instilling.

One of the first reviews, and a very favorable one, based on a test drive of a prototype: Maserati MC20 review: we blast-off in the prototype supercar

Excellent review, great reading , thanks for sharing !

Great video (I came across the link in another forum), and a nice opportunity to tune in on one's Italian 😄; the guy seems totally in love, and basically runs out of superlatives 😄:

I received an invitation from Maserati for the Driving Experience 2021, these pictures were included:

Although I really liked the MC20 from the beginning, I like this car even more with each new picture.

Cabrio version to be presented soon. Now in testing: Prototype of new MC20 Convertible in Modena | Maserati

It has the roof on, so not easy to see how it will differ from the coupé version...

Don't know why it took Maserati so long to release the spyder version.

I'd bet some people who already put deposits on the coupe might be a bit pissed.

I don't think so. If I remember the statements of my dealer it was clear from the beginning that Maserati will bring a Spider, that was actually always communicated.
