CarTell take

We haven't driven the MC20 yet. On paper, after-sales parts wait times can stretch given the small Australian dealer footprint. Folgore-specific cabin tech and EV displays will arrive with the local Folgore launch, confirm spec with your dealer before signing.

Why consider it

  • In-house Nettuno V6 with Formula 1-derived pre-chamber combustion, a world-first in production.
  • Dallara carbon monocoque keeps dry weight under 1,500 kg, lighter than every rival.
  • Cielo's electrochromic glass roof is a genuine class-leading party trick.

What to know

  • 3-year warranty is short for the asking price.
  • Folgore launch timing and Australian pricing not officially confirmed.
  • Cabin tech is deliberately minimal but feels under-specified versus Porsche or McLaren.

Who it suits

Carbon-monocoque buyers wanting a Dallara-built sub-1,500 kg supercar, exclusivity hunters who do not want a 911 or Artura, open-top buyers drawn to the Cielo's electrochromic glass roof, and EV supercar curious buyers waiting on the Folgore.
