The 2027 Maserati MCPura and its convertible sibling, the MCPura Cielo, hit Indian showrooms this week, each boasting a 3.0‑litre twin‑turbo Nettuno V6 that delivers 630 hp and a blistering 0‑100 km/h time of 2.9 seconds.
If you’re hunting for a coupe that feels like a supercar but without the usual price tag of a Ferrari, the MCPura slots between the Ghibli and the GranTurismo, offering a raw, mechanical driving experience that rivals the Porsche 911 Turbo’s 0‑100 acceleration. At ₹4.35 crore, it sits about ₹1.5 crore above the Ghibli but still under the €200,000 threshold that places it in the same bracket as the 911. The Cielo, at ₹5.20 crore, adds 85 lakh more than the coupe, making it a 20% premium for the open‑top experience.
The price hike came as the India‑EU free trade agreement moves closer to fruition. While the deal promises to cut import duties on a handful of European luxury cars, the MCPura is not guaranteed to qualify, so the ₹23 lakh increase may stick for the next 12–18 months. Dealers have yet to confirm any price‑protection clauses, so buyers need to decide whether to lock in now or wait for potential duty savings.
Maserati’s India‑based showrooms in Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, and Chennai will begin taking orders by May, with delivery slated for Q3 2027. Customers should verify the exact delivery window and any after‑sale support availability, especially for a model that blends ex‑German engineering with Italian design.
Keep an eye on the 2028 model, where Maserati may tweak the V6 or add an E‑drive option, and on the UK‑based production shift that could affect lead times. For now, the MCPura and Cielo offer a compelling blend of performance and exclusivity, but the buyer’s decision hinges on timing, duty forecasts, and the willingness to pay a premium for an open‑top luxury coupe.
