Maserati unveiled its latest track creation, the Maserati GT2, at the prestigious 24 Hours of Spa racing event. This new gem of technology and performance marks Maserati’s return to GT competitions and embodies a synthesis of the brand’s past, present, and future.
Drawing inspiration from the iconic MC12 and the exceptional MC20 super sports car, the Maserati GT2 showcases the best potential of Maserati’s racing heritage. It pushes the limits of performance with its 463-kW/621-hp Nettuno V6 engine and represents an exciting new chapter in the history of motorsport for the Trident brand.
Designed for private teams and gentleman drivers, the Maserati GT2 is a masterpiece that combines history, innovation, and a sporting attitude. It exemplifies the characteristics that have always defined Maserati’s track and road cars. Intended for participation in GT2 class championships and individual events, the Maserati GT2 is set to make its track debut during the final stages of the 2023 Fanatec GT European Series and will compete in the entire 2024 season.
Davide Grasso, Maserati CEO, expressed the brand’s passion for racing, stating, “Our DNA and our spirit have always lain in racing. The decision to return to track racing forms part of a thorough strategic framework, inaugurated this year with the debut in Formula E, to which we have now added our return to the world of GT competitions.”
Maserati’s comeback to the thrilling GT competitions is marked by the collaboration between the Maserati Innovation Lab, Centro Stile Maserati, and the technological excellence of the Maserati dynamic simulator. This cutting-edge product showcases the brand’s commitment to excellence and represents a significant milestone in its racing legacy.
Maserati continues to produce a range of unique cars renowned for their exceptional personality. From the flagship Quattroporte, the Ghibli sports sedan, and the Levante SUV to the recently introduced Grecale SUV, each Maserati model represents the pinnacle of Italian sports car design, performance, comfort, elegance, and safety. The lineup includes 4-cylinder hybrid powertrains, V6 and V8 petrol engines, and the groundbreaking MC20 super sports car powered by the 100% Maserati Nettuno V6 engine.
Looking towards the future, Maserati is committed to electrification. By 2025, all Maserati models will have a full-electric version available, and the entire Maserati range is set to run on electricity alone by 2030. The brand’s latest addition, the GranTurismo, is offered with a powerful V6 petrol engine derived from the Nettuno and a 100% electric version, marking a significant milestone in Maserati’s history.
Maserati’s dedication to innovation, performance, and electrification ensures that the brand will continue to captivate the automotive world with its exceptional range of cars, combining tradition with forward-thinking technology.
