The Maserati GT2 Stradale stands as a remarkable testament to the brand's evolution. In recent years, Maserati has undergone a significant transformation, with the introduction of the MC20 serving as a pivotal moment. This flagship supercar not only introduced the powerful "Nettuno" twin-turbocharged V6 engine but also paved the way for Maserati's return to GT racing, a domain previously dominated by the legendary MC12.

Unveiling the GT2 Stradale

During this year's Monterey Car Week, Maserati unveiled the all-new GT2 Stradale. This roadgoing version of the GT2 race car brings the excitement of the track to the streets. It seamlessly bridges the gap between the stylish and luxurious MC20 and the racing-bred GT2. The GT2 Stradale features aggressive aerodynamics, added power, and track-ready equipment, enhancing its on-road performance. With a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine producing 640 horsepower, a 10-horsepower increase from the MC20, and a weight reduction of over 132 pounds, this supercar is a force to be reckoned with. It can rocket from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.8 seconds and reach a top speed of over 198 mph, yet still offers the driving experience of the MC20.

Style and Design

Style is a hallmark of the Maserati lineup, and the GT2 Stradale is no exception. Drawing inspiration from the MC20, it features beautiful proportions with a wider and more aggressive stance. The revised front fascia, large fixed rear wing, carbon fiber vents, and other details set it apart from the standard MC20. Maserati's bespoke Fuoriserie department will offer exclusive content and configurations, allowing customers to personalize their GT2 Stradale. The interior combines the racing focus with luxury, featuring carbon fiber throughout and Alcantara upholstery. The seats, designed in collaboration with Sabelt, offer both comfort and racing prowess. The steering wheel features shift lights and a race-ready shape, while yellow accents add a touch of edginess. Additionally, modern creature comforts like Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a Sonus faber sound system, and a WiFi hotspot are included.

Racing Performance

The GT2 Stradale is not just a stylish supercar; it is also a track-ready machine. Its enhanced aerodynamics and powerful engine allow it to perform at the highest level on the track. The Michelin semi-slick tires, carbon ceramic brakes, and four-point seatbelts provide the necessary grip and stopping power for intense driving. Maserati's engineers have carefully balanced performance and comfort, ensuring that the GT2 Stradale can be enjoyed on both the track and the road. It is a true testament to Maserati's commitment to delivering a driving experience like no other.
