Maserati Delivers Bespoke MCPURA Cielo Tributo 1926 During the 1000 Miglia
Maserati's Fuoriserie program delivers a one-of-a-kind MCPURA Cielo Tributo 1926, honoring the centenary of the Trident logo with a livery inspired by the 1926 Tipo 26...
On April 25, 1926, Alfieri Maserati took the start of the Targa Florio at the wheel of the Tipo 26, carrying the Trident logo on the hood for the very first time. One hundred years later, that same symbol and that same car become both inspiration and tribute: inspiration for a unique, personalized car, and a tribute to the centenary of Maserati’s iconic logo and to its first one hundred years as a protagonist on racetracks around the world, company officials stated in a press release.
From this vision comes the MCPURA Cielo Tributo 1926, a bespoke car created through the Maserati Fuoriserie customization program.
The car was unveiled and handed over to its owner at the Maserati showroom in Modena, just as the 2026 Mille Miglia passed through the city, bringing together the thread that connects Italian motorsport, Maserati’s racing tradition, and the most exclusive present of the Trident brand, the release noted. The bond between the brand and the Mille Miglia began with the 1931 Tipo 26 C, the first Maserati to take part in the prestigious competition, where it achieved a class victory.
A Livery Rooted in 1920s Racing History
The MCPURA Cielo Tributo 1926 was personalized around the colors and shapes of 1920s racing. The bodywork is finished in Grigio Lamiera Matte, a shade that evokes the raw materiality of competition car bodies from that era, and a bespoke livery combines Rosso Capannelle, Blu Infinito and Bianco Pastello. At the center of the hood, the original Tipo 26 badge is faithfully reproduced with historical accuracy, establishing the most direct point of connection between the car of 1926 and that of 2026.
The historic Trident stands prominently on the front and on the B-pillar in Bianco Pastello, alongside the Fuoriserie logo painted in the same shade. The 20-inch Cyclonic wheels, diamond-cut with a red surface, echo the chromatic accent of the livery and are complemented by the black brake calipers. On the tonneau cover, the livery is completed by the Trident in Blu Infinito and white, in a dual interpretation of the current logo combined with the first historic Trident designed by Mario Maserati in 1926.
The door badges bear the signatures of the protagonists of that first race: Alfieri Maserati and mechanic Guerino Bertocchi. Finally, the Exterior Carbon Package integrates the color scheme with visible carbon-fiber inserts, a further sign of its performance vocation, the company said.
Inside the Fuoriserie Cabin
Inside, the open-top car features Fuoriserie catalog specifications, with the Trident stitched on the headrests, reaffirming the narrative coherence of the project within the cabin as well. The interior includes heated seats, the Interior Carbon Package and a 695-watt, 12-speaker Sonus faber High Premium audio system. The Driver Assistance Pack and front axle lift complete the equipment.
With this symbolic delivery, the Year of the Trident continues through events and initiatives dedicated to the logo designed 100 years ago by Mario Maserati, a great art enthusiast who drew inspiration from the Fountain of Neptune in Bologna, the birthplace of “Società anonima officine Alfieri Maserati,” founded in 1914. That emblem of strength and power first became the symbol of Maserati racing cars and later the unique signature on all road production models, the company said.
