The high-performance GT2 marks the return of Maserati to racing, with its debut taking place at the Autodromo Varano de’ Melegari. The shakedown at the Parma circuit serves as a prelude to a series of events leading up to the official unveiling of the car in June at the 24 Hours of Spa in Belgium. The brand aims to evoke the exploits of its victorious MC12 with the hungry new car, ready to participate in the GT championships.
Maserati’s long history in motorsport is characterized by almost a century of success, a unique and distinctive DNA, and a passion being reignited by the brand’s link to its potent legacy from the past and its drive toward the future.
The Maserati GT2 is a masterpiece of speed, elegance, style, and innovation, designed to celebrate Maserati’s return to the circuits. In late 2022, the brand announced its participation in the 2023 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, along with the GT2 European Series, as part of its strategy to bring the Trident back on track.
The car was conceived and designed by Maserati engineering in collaboration with Centro Stile Maserati, ensuring the aesthetic quality standards typical of the brand. The Maserati GT2 inherits the extraordinary 463kW/630CV Nettuno V6 engine from the Maserati MC20, taking it to new heights of performance.
The technical specifications of the Maserati GT2 are impressive, featuring patented MTC (Maserati Twin Combustion) technology inspired by F1 engines, an ultra-light carbon fiber central monocoque that provides an excellent weight-power ratio, and lightweight full composite bodywork that maximizes aerodynamic features to improve vertical load while ensuring optimal efficiency in terms of drag. The aerodynamic load has been carefully balanced, and the bottom has been designed to work well with the front splitter and rear wing. The car has quick-release removable bodywork for efficient component replacement and a chassis with high torsional and bending stiffness.
The power steering is fully electric, and all suspension components are specific racing components, including adjustable shock absorbers and anti-roll bars in both the front and rear. The electronics are also adjustable. The 6-speed sequential racing gearbox and steering wheel paddle shift with an electrical rotary gearshift actuator delivers adrenaline-fueled emotions.
The Maserati GT2’s futuristic, intuitive cabin features a carbon fiber dashboard and a 10″ integrated display. The bodywork is painted with Maserati Corse-specific painting and livery options (Blu Infinito).
The Maserati GT2 is a masterpiece of mechanics and engineering, with a futuristic, minimalist, and sculptural interior that complements the extreme lines of the body. The car is designed for racing teams and gentleman drivers who will participate in the GT2 Championships.
The Trident single-seater with covered wheels is the result of a winning synergy between Maserati’s men and women and the avant-garde design and style that have always characterized the Italian brand’s creations. The car is complemented by its unmistakable flair for luxury, even when the road becomes a track. The fierce GT2 is ready to explore new horizons, solidify and define Maserati’s racing future in the world of motorsport.
