Maserati MCXtrema Takes To The Track Before First Delivery
730 Horsepower, Track Machine Looks Ready To Go...
The all-new, ultra-limited production Maserati MCXtrema has been unleashed onto the track before it undergoes a series of tests until late April. The aim is to deliver the first model in late summer 2024. The MCXtrema, a track-only homologated race car with only 62 units allocated globally, was created to break the mold and invent new paradigms.
Development / Testing –
In February, the MCXtrema had its first official track outing at the Autodromo Varano de’ Melegari (Parma). There, Maserati Chief Test Driver Andrea Bertolini, one of the most successful drivers in the GT class with four world titles, has been working on its development in the dynamic simulator since the early stages.
The February shakedown was to refine the performance of the 730 horsepower twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter NETTUNO V6. The MCXtrema has benefited from the latest and most advanced equipment globally. Fundamental contributions have been made by the Virtual Analysis team, using cutting-edge technology in the Maserati dynamic simulator, and by the Powertrain Calibration team, managing the enormous power delivered by the NETTUNO engine.
The experience gained during the development of the Maserati MC20, the in-depth characterization of each component, and the stringent bench tests on the engine have guaranteed the greatest accuracy in the simulation. This ensures that an extremely meaningful car would reach the track testing stages with figures similar to the validations in the simulator, required purely for real-world fine-tuning.
The virtual work done on the MCXtrema – about 200 hours in the Maserati dynamic simulator and 1,000 hours of virtual analysis for simulations of various types, as well as comparison with feedback from the track, combined with the previous four years of development on the MC20 and the subsequent engine reliability checks – have made it possible to create a car that now represents the ultimate in advanced engineering and innovation, where the perfect design created by the Maserati Centro Stile converges with the engineering requirements of efficient aerodynamics for every track configuration.
MCXlusiva Customization Program –
Adding to the MCXtrema’s exclusivity, customers are getting ready to receive something unique.
From the earliest stages of the car’s construction, Maserati has taken each MCXtrema customer on a personal journey to discover more about the car’s creation, jointly researching and taking care of every last detail in the best tailor-made experience a car can offer.
Maserati has considered everything down to the minutest detail, ensuring that future owners of the Modena-based Brand’s most powerful track car could feel part of something truly exclusive from all points of view.
In addition to the elegant livery, in the Blue Xtrema color explicitly created for this four-wheeled masterpiece, the MCXlusiva program provides the option to customize your car in one of three variants, each with its own identity and racing spirit, created by the Maserati Centro Stile: Tech Beast, Corse, and Speed Beast.
The car’s customization continues with two options for the color of the wheel rims, Matte Black or Grigio Corsa Bright, and three versions for the seats: Blue, Black, or Ice.
Alternatively, the BEASTspoke variant is dedicated to the more creative customers, who can choose their number to be added to the livery and select the color of the grips on the steering wheel.
A further customized detail is the “one of 62” plate inside the passenger compartment, which can be engraved with the MCXtrema customer’s name or any other inspiration they wish to take to the track.
Exclusive MCXperience Services –
Maserati has decided to make the universe of MCXtrema owners even more distinctive with MCXperience, a customer experience designed to offer a series of services reserved for the customers of the ‘beast’: an exclusive club for them to fully immerse themselves in the Maserati racing world, alongside professional drivers, and the technicians at Maserati Corse Services.
MCXperience also offers Concierge services for access to on-track experiences, as well as the MCXtrema kit, designed for drivers together with the Maserati Centro Stile aimed at ensuring owners feel like real racers in the MCXtrema.
