The Maserati GT2 is an MC20 turned up to 11

Maserati’s resurgence continues with the carmaker entering the final rounds of the Fanatec GT European Series with the GT2. And just look at it, the GT2 looks WILD.

The GT2 is basically a single seater MC20, built to comply GT2 regulations, pumping a whopping 621 horsepower and 730 Nm of torque from the 3.0-liter, twin-turbo Nettuno V6. The engine is mated to a six-speed, sequential gearbox with paddle shifters and a motorsport-spec clutch. Oh, and it also comes with air conditioning, so the driver will hardly break a sweat.

The driver will also have access to a 6.5-inch dashboard display and an adjustable racing pedal box and steering column. Customers willing to buy the GT2 can also add a passenger seat, rearview camera, and a tire pressure monitoring system, by paying extra costs.

Mechanical changes include a limited-slip mechanical self-locking differential developed for racing use, forged 18-inch center-lock wheels and two-way adjustable dampers for both axles. 

While the composite body of the GT2 resembles the MC20, the Maserati engineers have been hard at work back at the factory to make it as aerodynamic as possible and improve the cooling of the race car. And so, the GT2 has a massive rear wing, canards on the front bumper, newly designed hoods with extra vents and a splitter as part of its extreme aero package. 

Maserati says that the GT2 is “a jewel of handling, driveability and performance.”

After racing in Belgium during the 24 Hours of Spa, the GT2 will be entering its first full Fanatec GT European Series season in 2024.
