Maserati GT2 Stradale: the new MC20 lineage

When Maserati began working on the MC20 project, the House of Trident had already decided to return to the track and with that came the Maserati GT2, which debuted in the 2023 Fanatec GT2 European Championship.

Now comes the Maserati GT2 Stradale, another legitimate daughter of the MC20 and sister of the GT2, only homologated to be driven between the curbs, but with the state of the art performance of the Italian brand.

The V6 3.0 Nettuno of the GT2 Stradale, being a twin-turbo with 640 horsepower at 7500 rpm and an excellent torque of 73.1 kgfm from 3000 rpm, in addition to an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission.

The GT2 Stradale has several driving modes, including Wet, GT (the default setting when the engine starts), Sport and Corsa, also available in four variants with fewer electronic controls when opting for the Performance Package.

The Maserati GT2 Stradale features adaptive suspension, Brembo brakes with carbon-ceramic discs, the Corsa Performance Package with traction control, Maserati Stability Program (MSP) and electronic limited-slip differential (e-LSD). With all this, the Maserati GT2 Stradale accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.8 seconds, making it the most agile rear-wheel drive (RWD) car in its category. The GT2 Stradale can generate 500 kg of downforce at 280 km/h with the ‘high-drag’ rear wing configuration with 130 kg at the front and 370 kg at the rear. 

The GT2 Stradale is available with a carbon fiber aesthetic featuring the door sills, steering wheel paddle shifters, cluster cover, central tunnel blade (upper part) and new central tunnel blade support. The car has even more carbon fiber in the monocoque seat, exposed carbon fiber monocoque on the floor, steering wheel inserts, front bumper, rear diffuser, side skirts and racing aerodynamic flaps on the hood.

In addition to the racing hood inlets, roof, air intakes in the rear fenders, air outlets in the front fenders, adjustable rear wing and rear spoiler.
