Maserati Is Going Track Side
This year The House of the Trident revealed the Maserati GT2 at the legendary 24 Hours of Spa in Belgium. This marks the return of Maserati to GT competitions, after previously carving a name for itself with the MC12 dominating from 2005 to 2010.
This beast has been built for private teams and gentleman drivers, with all the performance required to be competition ready, but with all throwbacks and hat tipping to it’s past, making it a living piece of history right out the gate. Made of Ultra-light carbon fibre It evolved out of the lines of the MC20 super sports car, and comes packed with the 463-kW/621-hp Nettuno V6 engine.
Davide Grasso, Maserati CEO, commented: “Our DNA and our spirit have always lain in racing. Our story began and developed from the track to the road. 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. Now more than ever we want to rekindle and nourish that competitive passion that has always characterised and motivated us to achieve major milestones”.
The Maserati GT2 will debut on the track in the final stages of the 2023 Fanatec GT European Series, and is due to participate in the entire 2024 season.
