Maserati MCXtrema

The Maserati MCXtrema, first known as Project24, is a sports car that the Italian maker has built since 2023 for track use only, not approved for the road, on the platform of the Maserati MC20. In its name MC refers to Maserati Corse, the racing division, and Xtrema stresses the aggressive design. It was shown to the public on 18 August 2023 at Monterey Car Week after teasers on the company's social channels. A 3.0 litre Nettuno V6 with 90 degree banks, dry-sump lubrication and a Formula One derived pre-chamber, based on the MC20 engine, sits behind the driver and gives 740 CV at 7,500 rpm and 730 N·m of torque. The chassis is a carbon-fibre monocoque with an FIA-approved roll cage and a six-speed sequential racing gearbox, and the dry weight of 1,250 kg is more than 250 kg less than the MC20. The bodywork by Maserati Corse and the Centro Stile under Klaus Busse has an adjustable rear wing, front splitter and large diffuser, and recalls the MC12 and the Tipo 61 Birdcage.
