Maserati has unveiled its latest super sports car, the GT2 Stradale, during the 2024 Monterey Car Week in California. Presented at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering, the GT2 Stradale blends Maserati’s racing heritage with everyday road performance, offering a new take on the brand’s iconic MC20. You could also think of it as a rival to the legendary Porsche 911 GT3.
With a top speed exceeding 320km/h and a 640hp (477kW) output from its twin-turbo V6 engine, the GT2 Stradale promises serious performance, achieving 0-100 km/h in just 2.8 seconds. It’s also more focused for the track and performance driving, sitting 60kg lighter than the MC20.
Combined with refined aerodynamics, it aims to deliver a more agile and responsive drive. Despite its racing character, Maserati has focused on maintaining comfort and drivability, ensuring the GT2 Stradale is as suited to road trips as it is to the track.
The GT2 Stradale also brings customisation to the forefront, offering various options to enhance performance and aesthetics, as well as a range of bespoke paint colours and combinations.
Davide Grasso, Maserati’s CEO, describes the GT2 Stradale as a model that captures the essence of Maserati’s racing DNA while delivering technical innovation and design. In a statement, he said:
“This model intended for everyday driving was created based on the desire to offer our customers more and more in terms of technical mastery, innovation, design and emotions in road driving: On the one hand, we find sophisticated solutions reserved for models designed for track use only, the epitome of Maserati’s racing DNA; on the other, we can guarantee optimal comfort paired with all the most advanced driver assistance systems.”
Production numbers and prices are yet to be confirmed, but it is expected to be a limited edition only. And likely an expensive one.
