Maserati GT2 Stradale, Escape from the Asylum

The Italian manufacturer has presented the road-legal version of its race car, the MC20 GT2 Stradale.
Timing is an art. Presenting its GT2 Stradale version on the day of the Lamborghini Temerario launch is quite unfortunate, especially between Italian manufacturers just 20 kilometers apart, whose communication heads probably cross paths at the supermarket on Saturdays…
History will forget this brake-test from Maserati and retain only the essentials. Starting with the fact that connoisseurs of good taste can now drive a civilized race car legally on the streets. The big spoiler, cooling vents, carbon body components, everything is there to toughen up a car, the MC20 which was initially very successful. Now… But everything is a matter of taste and color, let’s not judge.
Light is right!
Irony aside, we must applaud the approach at a time when a car devoid of hybridization, or even not 100% electric, is being criticized. Maserati has thoroughly pursued its approach, lightening its GT2 Stradale by 60 kg compared to the MC20 and tentatively increasing the power of the 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 from 630 to 640 horsepower. Enough to reach 100 km/h in 2.8 seconds.
Knowing that Maserati is not doing well financially, struggling to stand out alongside very powerful and media-savvy English, German, or Italian rivals, seeing the manufacturer strive to keep developing such toys should be applauded.
Orders are open but the retail price is currently unknown.
