Maserati Becomes Mahadev In India!
Majority of the population in India follows the Hindu religion, and Lord Shiva, or “Mahadev,” is one of the most worshiped Hindu deities. As most of us know, his choice of weapon is the holy “Trishul” or the metal trident. Now, apart from Shiva’s Trishul, what else is a trident? It's the Italian supercar manufacturer Maserati’s emblem. Recently, one such “Mahadev” worshiper spotted a Maserati MC Pura supercar on a flatbed and was heard calling it “Mahadev company ki car.”
This hilarious video of a Hindu man calling a Maserati supercar a “Mahadev” car has been shared on Instagram by Monu.exe on their page. In this short clip, we can note that the person who spotted this particular Maserati says, “This car belongs to Mahadeva company.” He then also shouted and told someone else that he doesn't know which car it is, but it seems like it's “Mahadev’s” car.
As mentioned above, the car seen in the video is the Maserati MC Pura supercar worth Rs 4.12 crore. This particular sports car was recently launched in India alongside its spider sibling, the Cielo, priced at Rs 5.12 crore. The MC Pura is the updated iteration of the popular MC20 supercar.
The 2025 Maserati MC Pura has been given styling updates by Dallara. At the front, it now boasts a revised front grille, repositioned intakes, and a tweaked splitter to improve stability and cooling. In addition to these, the rear bumper of the MC Pura is also new compared to the MC20 and offers cleaner airflow.
Powering the MC Pura and its spider sibling, the Cielo, is a 3.0-litre twin-turbo Nettuno V6 engine. This motor is capable of producing an impressive 630 bhp and 720 Nm of torque. As for the gearbox, they come equipped with an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission that sends power to the rear wheels. These siblings can reach 0–100 kmph in just 2.9 seconds (MC Pura) and 3.0 seconds (Cielo).
The billionaire Gautam Singhania, who is the CEO of Raymond Group, bought himself a brand-new Maserati MC20 back in June–July 2024. Initially, the billionaire was regularly spotted driving this supercar around Mumbai. However, after some time, he started bashing the brand online. Singhania shared a series of tweets in which he called the Maserati MC20 the worst car he had ever driven in his life.
He doubled down on the criticisms by saying that “Anybody buying a Maserati car should think twice.” Singhania also highlighted that the car has a lot of “fundamental defects.” In his tweets, he never transparently mentioned what major problems he was facing with his Maserati MC20. However, he often criticized the safety aspect of his Maserati supercar.
In an official press statement released by Maserati headquarters, it was highlighted that all Maserati vehicles undergo rigorous quality control before leaving the factory. It added that the specific technical concern raised by Singhania's team was within the designed capacity of the vehicle and met Maserati’s quality standards. The company concluded by stating that Singhania's car was in “perfect condition.”
