==Variants== With limited production and service life, the C.205 saw only a few modifications. After the first 100 examples, the wing-mounted 7.7 mm (.303 in) machine guns were replaced with a couple of 20 mm [[MG 151 cannon]]. ;M.C.205 :One prototype armed with two 12.7 mm (0.5 in) and two 7.7 mm (0.303 in) machine guns. ;M.C.205V :Main production version. ;M.C.205S :Long-range escort fighter with a 200 L (53 US gal) fuel tank replacing the fuselage machine guns; 18 converted from production aircraft. ;M.C.205N :Proposed DB 605-powered fighter with a more significant design revision than the C.202-derived C.205V. The aircraft had a new wing with the wingspan increased to {{convert|11.25|m|ftin|abbr=off}} and wing area increased to {{convert|19|m2|ft2|abbr=on}}, and a lengthened fuselage that brought the length to 9.65 m. Also, the fuselage was finally adapted for a 20 mm MG 151 cannon. The heavier weight resulted in decreased performance and handling. ;M.C.205N-1 :High-altitude interceptor fighter prototype. Armed with four 12.7 mm (0.5 in) machine guns mounted in the fuselage, and one 20 mm cannon mounted in the engine. ;M.C.205N-2 ''Orione'' :High-altitude interceptor fighter prototype. Armed with three 20 mm cannon and two 12.7 mm (0.5 in) machine guns. The machine gun bulges were replaced by a streamlined fairing. ;M.C.206 :Similar armament to the C.205N/1 with a larger yet lighter wing (21 m<sup>2</sup>). Reduced weight resulting in performances similar to that of the C.205V again. The larger wing would have enabled it to fight at higher altitudes. Single prototype destroyed by Allied bombing before being completed. ;M.C.207 :Powered by a [[Daimler-Benz DB 603]] engine. Other than that, similar to C.206 but with armament of four 20 mm cannon, none built.
