Maserati has finally made public a true absolute jewel to the motoring world. We are talking about the fabulous GT2 Stradale car. This car was born as an evolution of the MC20, an already high-performance car, but now this new supercar is intended to be a symbol of the pinnacle of Italian automotive engineering, stylishly bringing together the elegance of Maserati design with the extreme power of racing cars.

The GT2 Stradale, presents itself to the public with its only 1365 kg, therefore it is characterized with a featherweight in the world of supercars. The credit for this goes to the extensive use of carbon fiber, a rather light but at the same time very strong material that made it possible to minimize the weight of the car without having to sacrifice any details in terms of structural rigidity. Under the hood the car features the powerful Nettuno V6 engine, a 640-hp powerplant that gives the GT2 Stradale the ability to go from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.8 seconds, while also reaching a top speed of 324 km/h.

The GT2 Stradale’s aerodynamics have also been studied in great detail to ensure maximum grip on the ground and completely flawless stability at high speeds. The rear spoiler, front splitter and large air intakes work in complete harmony to generate quite a high aerodynamic load to greatly improve road holding and reduce drag.

The GT2 Stradale’s cabin is a perfect mix of sportiness and luxury. Carbon fiber, as already mentioned is very prevalent in the vehicle, also takes center stage inside, giving a racing feel to the ambience and atmosphere when you get on board. The seats are fully sporty, wraparound and also made of carbon fiber. Thanks to their structure, they offer optimal lateral support and ensure maximum comfort even in the most demanding driving.
