Maserati has set the stage for an unforgettable showcase at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed, one of the most prestigious motoring events on the global calendar. Amid the rolling hills and historic backdrop of West Sussex, the Italian marque is not just participating—it’s making a powerful statement. The House of the Trident is using Goodwood to unveil a world debut, signaling a bold new chapter in its legacy of performance, luxury, and design.

A World Premiere with Italian Soul

At the heart of Maserati’s presence is a mysterious new creation, described as an “authentic expression of energy,” crafted in true Maserati fashion. This global debut marks the culmination of a journey that began in Modena—Maserati’s spiritual and technical homeland—and arrives at Goodwood with both reverence and spectacle. While details remain tightly guarded, expectations are sky-high, especially given the context of the “Year of the Trident” celebrations.

Track-Bred Thrills: GT2 Stradale

Among the stars of the Supercar Paddock is the jaw-dropping Maserati GT2 Stradale, a road-homologated evolution of the championship-winning GT2 race car. Under the hood lies the heart of a beast—the 640 hp (471 kW) Nettuno V6 engine, catapulting the Stradale from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.7 seconds, and on to a top speed of over 320 km/h. It’s the most powerful road-legal combustion-engine Maserati ever built.

Clad in a dazzling Blu Corse finish from the Officine Fuoriserie program, the GT2 Stradale combines motorsport function with unmistakable Italian flair. With 20” alloy wheels, matte carbon-fiber accents, and black Alcantara with Alcantara Blu racing seats, it exudes both aggression and elegance—fitting for a car born on the track and built for the road.

Refined Performance: GranCabrio

Next in Maserati’s triumphant trio is the sophisticated GranCabrio, now presented in a striking Verde Giada paintwork. Powered by a 490 hp, 3.0-liter Nettuno Twin Turbo V6, the GranCabrio rockets to 100 km/h in just 4 seconds and reaches a top speed of 300 km/h—while keeping all four passengers in sublime comfort.

Its retractable soft top, diamond-cut wheels (20” front, 21” rear), and Ice-colored perforated full-grain leather cabin make it a masterclass in open-air grand touring. Blending top-tier craftsmanship with a dynamic edge, this convertible embodies the true Maserati duality: style and substance.

Extreme Exclusivity: MCXtrema

For the track purists and collectors, the MCXtrema is Maserati’s ultimate expression of unfiltered power. Built exclusively for the circuit and limited to just 62 units worldwide, this supercar is not just a machine—it’s an event.

Finished in a custom Blue Xtrema livery, the MCXtrema houses a blistering 740-hp version of the Nettuno engine. Designed for gentleman drivers and elite enthusiasts, this purpose-built racer merges advanced aerodynamics with a design language that screams velocity. It’s the kind of car that makes an impression even standing still—and will make a statement as it devours the Goodwood Hillclimb.

The Iconic Hillclimb Challenge

All three models—GT2 Stradale, GranCabrio, and MCXtrema—aren’t just for show. They’ll take on the iconic Goodwood Hillclimb, a demanding 1.86-kilometer course weaving through tight corners, stone walls, and narrow tree-lined passages. The hill’s 100-meter ascent tests even the most skilled drivers and machines, and Maserati’s lineup is more than ready for the challenge.

A Festival Steeped in Heritage

Since its inception in 1993, the Goodwood Festival of Speed has evolved into a dynamic celebration of motorsport, innovation, and design. From classic legends to cutting-edge prototypes, the event bridges generations of performance, with Maserati playing a central role in 2025’s narrative.

This year is especially poignant. As Maserati honors its 100-year-old Trident emblem and prepares for the 2026 centenary of its racing debut with the Tipo 26—which claimed class victory at the Targa Florio—it reaffirms a commitment to excellence that stretches from the past into a bold new future.

A New Chapter for the Trident

Goodwood is more than a showcase—it’s a stage. And Maserati, with its blend of heritage, innovation, and sheer performance, is delivering a show worthy of the brand’s legendary name. Whether it’s through the raw power of the MCXtrema, the elegant ferocity of the GT2 Stradale, or the graceful speed of the GranCabrio, Maserati is proving that Italian craftsmanship and passion for driving remain timeless.

As the engines roar and the Hillclimb beckons, one thing is clear: the Trident is sharper than ever.
