Maserati, renowned for its dominance in GT competitions with the iconic MC12, made a triumphant return to the racing world at the highly anticipated 24 Hours of Spa. Today, the prestigious Italian automaker unveiled its latest masterpiece, the Maserati GT2, marking a new era of track excellence.
Following the initial announcement in early March, Maserati dedicated rigorous testing to fine-tune this cutting-edge racing car. The House of the Trident has now officially presented its new gem, a harmonious blend of Maserati’s past, present, and future aspirations. With the MC12’s rich legacy as its foundation and the remarkable performance of the MC20 super sports car as its inspiration, the GT2 embodies the pinnacle of technology and performance.
The heart of the Maserati GT2 lies in its racing version of the MC20’s exceptional 463-kW/621-hp Nettuno V6 engine, pushed to the extreme to unleash its full potential. With this powerhouse, Maserati is poised to script exhilarating new chapters in the history of motorsport, showcasing the brand’s unwavering commitment to innovation and high-performance engineering.
Maserati has meticulously crafted the GT2 as a dedicated racing car catering to private teams and gentleman drivers. It represents a remarkable fusion of history, innovation, and a sporting attitude, which have always defined Maserati’s track and road cars. Purpose-built to compete in GT2 class championships and individual events, the GT2 is set to make its track debut during the final stages of the 2023 Fanatec GT European Series, with full participation scheduled for the entire 2024 season.
This triumphant return to GT competitions marks an extraordinary milestone for the Trident, made possible through a collaborative effort between the Maserati Innovation Lab, the Centro Stile Maserati, and the technological excellence of the Maserati dynamic simulator. The result is an unparalleled racing machine that showcases Maserati’s unwavering dedication to pushing boundaries and creating automotive works of art.
