Maserati’s supercar renaissance goes even further.
Maserati introduced the MC20 a few years ago, and it started a new chapter for the Trident. It was the first Maserati supercar since the legendary MC12 introduced the high-performance Nettuno twin-turbo V6 engine and spurred on a radical change in Maserati’s lineup. It ushered in a new design language, and after it came the open-top MC20 Cielo, the Grecale, the new GranTurismo and GranCabrio, and the Maserati GT2 race car and track-only Maserati MCXtrema based on the MC20. Maserati is continuing along that journey, introducing the new Maserati GT2 Stradale.
Unveiled at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering, one of the most prestigious events at Monterey Car Week, the new Maserati GT2 Stradale bridges the gap between the Maserati GT2 race car and the roadgoing Maserati MC20 supercar, bringing the racing machine’s aggressive style and performance focus to a new road-ready high-performance machine. With 640 horsepower from its evolved version of the Nettuno twin-turbo V6, it eclipses the MC20’s power figure by 10 horsepower and has a top speed of over 200 mph. It gets from 0-60 in just 2.8 seconds and promises a race-car feel while taking on incredible driving roads.
Maserati offers exclusive Furoriserie customizations for the new GT2 Stradale while also offering packages dedicated to further improving performance, with items like Michelin semi-slick tires, carbon ceramic brakes, four-point seatbelts, a fire extinguisher, a new driving mode, and more. Exposed carbon fiber is available for detail pieces like the door sills, paddle shifters, diffusers, side skirts, hood, roof, and more. The striking launch color of the car comes from the Fuoriserie palette: Digital Aurora Matte. A blue with shades of red with a magenta mica, it provides a head-turning and unforgettable finish.
Other Fuoriserie colors for the GT2 Stradale include Grigio Lamiera Matte, Digital Mint Matte, Nero Cometa Textured, Powder Nude Textured, Blu Corse, Azzurro Astro Matte, and Military Teal Matte. The standard colors are Nero Essenza, Blu Infinito, Gloss Giallo Genio, and Matte Bianco Audace. The interior combines aspects of the MC20 and the GT2 race car, with carbon fiber throughout, Alcantara upholstery, a carbon fiber floor, new racing-focused seats designed with Sabelt, and a sportier steering wheel with shift lights.
Features like a modern infotainment system powered by the Android Automotive OS with over-the-air updates, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and Amazon Alexa integration, as well as a Sonus faber sound system boasting 6 or an optional 12 speakers, give the new Maserati GT2 Stradale luxury grand touring appeal, while still brandishing profound racing ability. Maserati’s high-performance lineup gained a significant new addition with its racing supercar hero now translated as a road-legal supercar in the new GT2 Stradale.
