The Maserati MC20: A Meaner, Leaner, Track-Focused Variant

Imagine a car that is meaner, leaner, and more beastly, with a track-focused design that sets it apart from the rest. That’s exactly what the Maserati MC20 GT2 Stradale is all about. This stripped-out, no frills supercar is the embodiment of Maserati’s performance know-how and the Italian brand’s motorsport division’s expertise. So, buckle up as we zoom into the details of this exciting new offering from Maserati.

Performance and Power

The Maserati MC20 GT2 Stradale is not just another car; it is a beast on wheels. At the heart of this beast is a twin-turbo 3.0-litre V6 engine, which now produces a whopping 471kW, up by 8kW from the MC20’s GT2 racer. This power bump allows the GT2 Stradale to sprint from 0-100km/h in a mere 2.8 seconds, a tenth of a second quicker than the MC20. It doesn’t stop there; the GT2 Stradale reaches a top speed of 324 km/h.

Furthermore, the GT2 Stradale weighs a full 60kg less than its predecessor, the MC20, clocking in at a lean 1365kg. This weight reduction, coupled with the power bump, makes for an exhilarating ride that will have your heart pounding in your chest.

Enhanced Aero Package

But the GT2 Stradale isn’t just about brute force. The engineers at Maserati have designed a new aero package that brings together a broader front grille, a motorsport-derived front bumper, fender air outtakes, enlarged rear fender intakes, a reinforced bonnet, and a carbon-fibre rear wing. This package allows the GT2 Stradale to generate up to 500kg of aerodynamic downforce at 280 km/h, more than triple the MC20’s capability.

Stylish and Sleek Design

Maserati has not compromised on style when creating this high-performance vehicle. The lower section of the GT2 Stradale is decked out in matte black carbon fibre, which can be optionally switched out for raw carbon fibre for added aesthetics. A range of unique paint finishes completes the look, giving the GT2 Stradale a sleek and stylish appearance that is sure to turn heads.

Comfort and Luxury

The interior of the GT2 Stradale is as luxurious as it is functional. It is equipped with Alcantara upholstery and carbon fibre, blending comfort with lightweight design. The new carbon fibre bucket seats, developed with Sabelt, are ready for a racing harness and come in two sizes. In addition, the steering wheel is trimmed in Alcantara with carbon fibre accents, providing a luxurious feel to the driving experience.

Additional Performance Options

Maserati also offers an optional Performance Pack for those who want to push the GT2 Stradale to its limits. This pack includes a new Corsa Evo ‘track mode’, Michelin semi-slick tyres, an adjustable traction control system, and an electronic limited-slip differential. For added safety, buyers can opt for the Performance Plus Pack, which includes a four-point harness and a fire extinguisher.

Final Comments

While Maserati has not confirmed how many examples of the GT2 Stradale will be produced, it’s safe to say that this model will be a limited-run. The sticker price is also expected to exceed the $490,000 price tag of the MC20, making it a must-have for any serious car enthusiast. With its incredible power, sleek design, and luxurious interiors, the Maserati MC20 GT2 Stradale is a car that is sure to make a statement on the track and the road.
