The exclusive Driving Experience dedicated to the new Maserati MCPURA has just come to a close, showcasing the purest expression of energy and performance according to the Trident. From 6 to 18 October, the thrilling journey crossed some of Versilia’s most renowned locations, such as the sophisticated Forte dei Marmi, the charming village of Pietrasanta, and the majestic Carrara Marble Quarries, recognized as one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

In this unique setting, the Trident’s new supercar revealed its full ability to blend power and elegance, highlighting both its dynamic prowess and the unmistakable sound of the iconic 630-hp Nettuno V6 engine. The warm, soft light of early October days enhanced the exclusive shades of the cars featured in this immersive experience while introducing participants to the world of the Maserati Fuoriserie Program, where craftsmanship stands as the epitome of authentic Italian luxury.

Natural evolution of the iconic Halo Car MC20, the MCPURA represents the new frontier of super sports cars, taking its predecessor to an even higher level of performance and uniqueness. Available in both coupé and convertible versions, it stands out thanks to four exclusive features: a carbon fiber monocoque, the iconic 630-hp Nettuno V6 engine with patented pre-chamber technology, the distinctive “Butterfly” doors, and – for the Cielo version – the retractable electrochromic glass roof. Remarkably, the carbon fiber monocoque combines rigidity with lightness, resulting in an overall weight of less than 1,500 kg. With its extraordinary 630 hp, the MCPURA sets a new benchmark in its class for weight-to-power ratio – 2.33 kg/hp – delivering uncompromising performance, refined elegance, and masterful craftsmanship embodying, in its purest form, the true values of the Trident.

Color played a central role in the Driving Experience as well, an element that defines Maserati’s distinctive approach to customization. The color palette available for the MCPURA is both captivating and evocative, featuring a selection of shades created specifically for the new supercar, all inspired by Italian heritage and the brand’s iconic legacy. Among the new introductions are the striking launch colour AI Aqua Rainbow – blue that changes in the sun, producing a rainbow effect – the new Devil Orange, a fusion of vibrant energy and boldness, and the Night Interaction – sophisticated and luxurious tones that affirm MCPURA as the new flagship of the Trident. The color range expands even further thanks to the extensive personalization options offered by the Maserati Fuoriserie Program, which includes over thirty bodywork shades (solid, metallic, tri-coat, quad-coat or matte), allowing each vehicle to become a truly bespoke creation.

Santo Ficili, Maserati COO, stated: “With this Driving Experience, we wanted to offer our guests the opportunity to step into the very heart of Maserati by living firsthand the energy, elegance, and passion that shape each of our creations. MCPURA was born from this same spirit: a perfect balance between engineering precision and artisanal ability. This project tells the story of our present and our future, while celebrating our deep connection with Modena, the city where, for nearly ninety years, we’ve nurtured our craftsmanship, built the Nettuno engine, and created the most exclusive personalization options in our Officine Fuoriserie. In Versilia, we wanted to evoke all of this, transforming the drive into a sensory experience that expresses the purest essence of Maserati in every single detail”.

Freedom or safety for young drivers? UK can and must deliver both, says GEM 11/05/2026 SHARE: Images are for editorial use only. Experts gathering at Young Driver Focus in London on 13 May to press for action, not further delay Young drivers remain disproportionately at risk, with preventable deaths continuing on UK roads International evidence shows graduated driver licensing can cut crashes by up to 40% GEM Motoring Assist will return to the RAC Club, London, on 13 May as headline sponsor of Young Driver Focus 2026, renewing calls for decisive action to improve protection for newly-qualified drivers. Despite years of evidence and advocacy, the UK has yet to introduce a comprehensive system of graduated driver licensing (GDL) - a move GEM and other road safety groups say is costing young lives. GEM head of road safety James Luckhurst said: “We are long past the point of asking whether we should act. The evidence is overwhelming, and the consequences of delay are measured in lives lost and families devastated.” GDL is a phased approach that allows new drivers to gain experience under lower-risk conditions before progressing to full driving privileges. Common measures include limits on late-night driving and restrictions on carrying same-age passengers during the months after passing the test. International research consistently shows crash reductions of between 20% and 40% where GDL systems are in place. In some regions of Canada, reductions in young driver deaths have exceeded 80%. In the UK, drivers aged 17 to 24 account for around 20% of road deaths, despite making up just 7% of licence holders. Inexperience, distraction and overconfidence remain key risk factors - precisely the issues GDL is designed to address. GEM stresses that a well-designed system supports rather than penalises young people, and a recent TRL review1 found no significant negative impact on access to education, employment or social activity. GEM supports a system that extends structured learning, reduces known high-risk conditions and allows young drivers to build skills progressively and safely. GEM head of road safety James Luckhurst said: “We do many things well in the UK, particularly in driver training, but the current system offers too little structured support once someone passes the test. That’s where the real risk begins. “The choice is simple: continue with a system we know is failing too many young people, or take proven steps that will save lives. Doing nothing is not a neutral position - it is a decision with consequences… and Young Driver Focus offers a chance to translate the latest insight into real-world action.”
