It won’t swallow the weekly shopping or ski bags, but for anyone after pure driving fun and sun-on-your-face weekends, few cars match its sheer charm and value.

Maserati MC20 Roadster

The Maserati MC20 Roadster is an open-top Italian exotic that pairs razor-sharp handling with a cathedral-like exhaust voice and sculpted, winglike bodywork that stops people in their tracks. It’s for buyers who want rarity and drama in a usable package — a car that looks like gallery art, sounds like a declaration and asks for a confident owner with a generous sense of adventure (and budget).
