2024 GT2 Stradale is Maserati’s most powerful supercar for the road

GT2 Stradale’s 3.0 twin turbo V6 packs 640 PS

If you wanted a race car with the Trident badge, Maserati has the GT2. If you want a road-going supercar, there’s the MC20 where the GT2 was based from. But what about if you want something with a little bit of both? Well say no more signori, says Maserati.

Maserati has revealed the new GT2 Stradale at the 2024 Monterey Car Week. And as the name suggests, it’s an MC20 with a style and performance infused with GT2 aggression. Think of this as Porsche’s GT3 RS, so you’ll get a clearer picture of what this new super sports car has to offer.

The GT2 Stradale carries over the GT2’s aerodynamic elements for a more aggressive look, with bigger intakes, vents on the hood and wheel arches, as well as the fixed GT2 wing bolted at the rear of the car. As a result, the added aero components generate up to 500 kg of downforce. Combined with the same front suspension setup as that of the GT2 race car, the Maserati GT2 Stradale has the makings of being a cornering monster.

Inside, the GT2 Stradale combines racecar aesthetics with the modern features you can find in road-going vehicles nowadays. There are more exposed carbon fiber elements along with Alcantara trims and matte surfaces, but nevertheless still features digital screens, a 10.25-inch center display and six-speaker audio system found on the MC20. The seats were specifically designed with double-shell carbon fiber pieces, with a choice of size that suits both larger and smaller drivers.

Under the hood, the GT2 Stradale has the same 3.0-liter, twin turbo Nettuno V6, but tuned to produce more power at 640 PS and 720 Nm of torque. With the car being 60 kg lighter than the MC20, acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h takes only 2.8 seconds, and a top speed of over 320 km/h.

When it comes to customization, there are two available performance packages that takes performance of the GT2 Stradale a notch higher. The Corsa Evo mode is derived from the race car and comes with four levels that allow you to progressively get rowdier.

Meanwhile, the regular Performance Package adds semi-slick Michelin tires, an electronic limited-slip differential, carbon-ceramic brakes, plus track-specific ESC, MSP, and ABS calibrations. Along with this, you can even opt for the Performance Pack Plus which gets everything listed above, together with four-point harnesses and a fire extinguisher.

For now, pricing of the Maserati GT2 Stradale is yet to be announced. Should Maserati PH bring this model here to compete with Porsche’s GT model lineup? Let us know in the comments.
