Maserati unboxes MCXtrema at MCW

Maserati unveiled the MCXtrema at the recently-held Monterey Car Week.

Previously called Project24, the Maserati MCXtrema is a veritable “beast” designed for the track.

According to the Italian luxury car brand, there are only 62 samples of the limited-edition super sports car. They are, Maserati pointed out, dedicated to a selected, highly discerning clientele in terms of performance, sophistication of design, luxury – all the hallmarks of a Made in Italy product – and extreme driving experience.

Presented as the Modena-based brand’s most powerful track car, the Maserati MCXtrema is a courageous and exceptional machine from all points of view, designed for purist collectors and for the loyal customers of the brand, who wish to add a new “toy” to their garage that can swallow up the curbs of the most exciting tracks during private tests.

The Trident brand’s latest creation boasts a V6 twin-turbo engine that comes with the Maserati Twin Combustion Twin Spark with TJI double combustion control and a dry sump system.

Aiding gear shifts is a six-speed sequential racing gearbox with paddle shifters.

The beast makes as much as 740 horses.

“Maserati MCXtrema was created with the aim of offering an incredibly exclusive product that can set a new paradigm for our track cars. The project is dedicated to a selected clientele who are particularly attentive to distinctive details, ranging from the most refined and innovative design to exceptional performance. MCXtrema embodies the sporting spirit typical of Maserati's DNA, a declaration of a new pathway for our brand, devoted to superlative manufacturing and able to stand out in the world of luxury engine production with uncompromising performance,” said Maserati Chief Executive Officer Davide Grasso.
