Monterey, CA, August 16, 2024 – Maserati has once again captivated the automotive world with the unveiling of its latest super sports car, the Maserati GT2 Stradale, at the prestigious 2024 Monterey Car Week. Debuting at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering, this masterpiece of performance and design marks a new chapter for the Trident brand, blending racing prowess with luxury road capabilities.
The GT2 Stradale, a fusion of the race-bred Maserati GT2 and the iconic MC20, delivers an unparalleled driving experience. With a top speed exceeding 320 km/h, a beefed-up 640 hp engine, and a 0 to 100 km/h sprint in just 2.8 seconds, this car is engineered for both the track and the road. Maserati has managed to reduce the weight by 60 kg while enhancing aerodynamics, resulting in a machine that is as thrilling to drive as it is to behold.
“The Maserati GT2 Stradale is not just a car; it’s the embodiment of our racing heritage, paired with the luxury and comfort our brand is known for,” said Davide Grasso, CEO of Maserati. “This vehicle offers the ultimate driving experience, marrying track-level performance with the refinement needed for everyday driving.”
Adding to the excitement at The Quail, Maserati also showcased the MC20 Icona, making its first appearance in North America. This special edition celebrates 20 years since Maserati’s triumphant return to GT racing, paying homage to the legendary MC12 with a limited production run of just 20 units.
The weekend’s festivities continued with the MCXtrema, a track-only beast boasting 730 hp, taking center stage at Laguna Seca. This model, with just 62 units produced, marks Maserati’s most powerful track car to date, setting the tone for the brand’s future in motorsport.
Monterey Car Week 2024 has proven to be a landmark event for Maserati, as the brand continues to push the boundaries of performance, design, and innovation. With the GT2 Stradale, MC20 Icona, and MCXtrema, Maserati is not just celebrating its past but is also paving the way for an exciting future in automotive excellence.
