Maserati MCXtrema: Redefining Performance Excellence
The Maserati MCXtrema, a 730-horsepower powerhouse, represents the pinnacle of Maserati's engineering prowess. With only 62 units produced worldwide, this limited-edition marvel seamlessly blends stunning design with unrivaled racing dynamics. The MCXtrema embodies Maserati's DNA, bringing the brand's legendary performance to a new level.
This special occasion at Laguna Seca also saw the debut of the V6 3.0L twin-turbo Nettuno race engine in North America, a momentous event as it roared to life on the legendary track. The MCXtrema underwent rigorous testing, culminating in this first customer delivery during the late summer of 2024, a fitting tribute to the track-only nature of this extraordinary vehicle.
A Grand Debut at Monterey Car Week
Following its showcase at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering, Maserati's presence at Monterey Car Week was further highlighted by the delivery of the MCXtrema at Laguna Seca. Maserati's Chief Test Driver, Andrea Bertolini, a celebrated figure with four world titles in the GT class aboard the Maserati MC12, took the MCXtrema for its inaugural laps on the iconic track. This ceremonial handover celebrated the journey of the MCXtrema from concept to reality, with Bertolini playing a pivotal role in its development through extensive simulation testing.
Giovanni Sgro, Head of Maserati Corse, reflected on the journey, stating, "Seeing the MCXtrema come to life has been a rewarding journey. Maserati unveiled the concept here in Monterey just a year ago, and now, we're delivering the first one at Laguna Seca. This car truly embodies the spirit of Maserati, combining the most advanced technology with our signature Italian craftsmanship."
Crafted for Excellence
The Maserati MCXtrema represents the peak of automotive innovation, blending Italian craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology. As one of Maserati's most powerful performance cars, the MCXtrema was developed with extensive virtual analysis to ensure optimal track performance.
