In a few months, Maserati will premiere its new racing beast, the Maserati MCXtrema. The car is still in the testing phase and deliveries should start in Q3 2024.
Maserati hasn’t revealed a lot of information, but what we do know so far is that the MCXtrema will be powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 engine with 730 hp (540 kW) and 538 lb-ft (730 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 6-speed sequential gearbox and a limited-slip differential. The car has so far undergone 200 hours of simulator testing, as well as 1,000 hours of virtual analysis.
It will be equipped with the MCXlusiva programme that allows customers to choose between three variants: Tech Beast, Corse and Speed Beast. Also, they can choose two options for the color of the wheel rims, Matte Black or Grigio Corsa Bright, and three versions for the seats: Blue, Black or Ice.
“A wonderful creation made to devour the asphalt and trip through the curves, a true gem of mechanics and aerodynamics, perfect for balance and handling. With MCXtrema, we have raised the bar of development even further, working with the track in sight and always bearing in mind the needs of the Maserati customer, who remains the focus of our work and to whom this car is dedicated. The interior has been designed around the driver; we developed a cockpit as a cross between a fighter and a Formula 1 single- seater. MCXtrema is an evolution of the MC20 without type approval for the road: for the Trident’s super sports car par excellence, we had already worked obsessively on its handling and overall architecture, to achieve this ultimate, extreme, and exhilarating version. MCXtrema is a thrill to drive, unlike any other car,” said Andrea Bertolini, Maserati’s Chief Test Driver.
Maserati will produce only 62 copies of this car, and customers will be able to choose the “One of 62” plate inside the passenger compartment.
