Inside Maserati’s long-awaited MC12 successor
The Maserati GT2, based on the road-going MC20, recently made its competition debut and claimed pole position in its first race. It is unique among its competitors as it features a carbon-composite monocoque, making it the perfect starting point for a race car. Maserati partnered with Ycom, a company with extensive experience in composites, for the development of the GT2. The race version of the MC20’s three-liter V6 twin-turbo engine, called the Nettuno, has been developed by Maserati and includes a revised exhaust system and a race-spec ECU. The aerodynamic performance and cooling of the GT2 have been improved while still maintaining the recognizable Maserati design. The interior of the GT2 is pure race car, complete with a six-point FIA-homologated roll cage.
