Maserati MCXtrema: The Track Awaits Its Unleashing Ahead Of 2024 Delivery

Maserati has unveiled its latest marvel in the world of high-performance racing, the MCXtrema race car. This exceptional vehicle, boasting a robust 730-hp engine, is set to undergo rigorous track tests until late April. With production limited to a mere 62 units, anticipation is high for the first model's delivery in late summer 2024. The MCXtrema is not just any race car; it's an evolution of the Maserati MC20 super sports car, embodying the pinnacle of advanced engineering and innovative design.

The development journey of the MCXtrema has been extensive, involving four years of meticulous work on the MC20 and thorough engine reliability checks. Maserati's dynamic simulator played a crucial role in its testing, equipped with the latest and most sophisticated equipment available. This process saw a close collaboration between Maserati's Virtual Analysis team and Powertrain Calibration team, ensuring every aspect of the MCXtrema was perfected.

Andrea Bertolini, Maserati’s Chief Test Driver, praised the MCXtrema as a "wonderful creation made to devour the asphalt and trip through the curves". The car's cockpit is meticulously designed around the driver, promising an exhilarating driving experience that is both immersive and unparalleled.

Maserati is also introducing a customisation programme for the MCXtrema, dubbed MCXlusiva. This initiative allows customers to tailor their cars to their personal preferences, offering three variants and a selection of options for wheels and seats. In addition to this bespoke service, Maserati is launching an exclusive customer experience named MCXperience. This programme grants access to on-track experiences and includes a special kit designed to make drivers feel like true racers.

Giovanni Sgro, Head of Maserati Corse, described the MCXtrema as a "true marvel of racing", highlighting its unique position in Maserati's lineup of vehicles known for their extraordinary personality and style. The company's range includes SUVs, grand tourers, and super sports cars.

In line with global trends towards sustainability and environmental responsibility, Maserati has committed to electrification across its range. The company plans to offer full-electric versions of all its models by 2025 and aims for its entire range to run solely on electricity by 2028. This ambitious plan underscores Maserati's dedication to innovation and its vision for the future of automotive excellence.

The introduction of the MCXtrema race car marks a significant milestone for Maserati as it continues to push the boundaries of performance and design. With its limited production run, advanced engineering, and exclusive customer experiences, the MCXtrema is set to become a coveted gem in the world of high-performance racing.
