Part of the Maserati Fuoriserie customization program which allows customers to create their own tailormade Maserati, David Beckham’s MC20 sits at the intersection of performance personal character. Employing a collaborative design process, Beckham and the designers at the Centro Stile developed the MC20 Fuoriserie Edition for David Beckham. The bespoke sportscar takes shape in a harmonious dichotomy of pink and black – representing the colours of Beckham’s Miami soccer club – and houses a patented V6 petrol engine that utilises Formula 1 technology.
The MC20 Fuoriserie Edition for David Beckham plays with surface texture, with the glossy black bodywork contrasting with Trident logos in a black opaque finish, while the MC20 badge and brake calipers are pale pink. Step inside and you’ll find leather and Alcantara interiors in black with pink contrast-stitching. The backrests, in Alcantara, are worked with a tone-on-tone laser engraving method and the headrest features a three-dimensional pastel pink embroidery. Resting on the centre tunnel between the two seats is a personalised nameplate bearing the Masterati Fuoriserie lettering in pastel pink, with ‘For David’ below it in italisized aluminium.
“I have always been a car enthusiast, so to be part of designing and creating my MC20 through the Fuoriserie customisation programme has been an amazing experience,” said David Beckham. “Cars are about individual taste whether it’s the model, colour or small personal details on the inside. It has been incredible to collaborate with the Maserati team and designers to create this one-off car that is inspired by my second home, Miami and my football club there. It is a joy to be behind the wheel.”
