The customers will also have the option of the carmaker's Fuoriserie Personalization Program. The MC20 Icona gets Bianco Audace Matte and Blu Stradale exterior. There's the Fuoriserie logo in Bianco Audace along with the Italian flag. 

The interiors get 4-way monocoque racing seats in the MC20 Icona feature a Nero/Blu color scheme against a silver background, while the Leggenda version sports Nero seats on a silver background. Both models are equipped with the same premium Sonus faber sound system, a carbon fiber interior package, and an electronic limited-slip differential (E-LSD).
