Based on the Maserati MC20 super sportscar, the Project24 series will be an extreme version of it. The new car will feature the state-of-the-art V6 Nettuno engine, however, this time it will have new turbochargers to help push power output to 740 horsepower. The car will also feature an innovative suspension, carbon-ceramic braking system, and tires tuned up for racing, as well as FIA-approved safety features.

Following the brand’s obsession with lightness, the target weight of the new Maserati vehicle will be below 1,250 kg (2,755 lbs). The combination of output and lightness should result in an astonishing vehicle with a power-to-weight ratio of approximately 1.69 kg/hp (2.2 lbs/hp).

Designed by Centro Stile Maserati, the Project24 has a completely new look. This time, Maserati design pushes the boundaries to the limits, free of the constraints usually seen in a racing car. The result is something never seen before, combining beauty with genuine sporty capabilities to become an instant classic collector’s item.

Maserati claims that Project24 will be the “emblem of exclusivity” and will offer a unique range of services, including track-specific experiences and state-of-the-art support, exclusively for the owners of Project24. 

But don’t expect to purchase the car and drive it to local car shows, as this model will be a non-road-homologated car and strictly built for track use.
