MC20 supercar gets a new set of lungs and some serious bodywork

# data.attributes.body.value
Maserati has announced it is to build just 62 versions of the MC20 supercar that won’t be fit for the public highway. Welcome to the latest in a long line of track-only toys that promise serious fireworks.

It’s called the Maserati Project24, built to “raise the brand’s unlimited performance to a new level of adrenaline on the track”. Read: scare customers senseless, make good noise.

To wit, this rather striking new Maserati race car, built around the road-going MC20 architecture, will feature a new set of turbochargers bolted onto the new ‘Nettuno’ 3.0-litre V6. Power rises from 621bhp in the road car, to 730bhp. Dry sumped, too.

That engine is matched to a six-speed sequential racing gearbox and a limited slip diff, sending those horsepowers to the rear wheels. Performance should be sprightly, especially considering Maserati has binned most of the MC20’s comforts and targeted a weight of less than 1,250kg.

It features adjustable dampers and anti-roll bars, vented Brembos, 18in aluminium alloys, the obligatory interior racing paraphernalia (racing seats, steering column, pedal box, harness and so on), wrapped up in a new carbon-fibre body featuring much aero, much downforce and much wing.

“Maserati design pushes the boundaries to the limits, free of the constraints usually seen in a racing car,” Maserati said. Can’t argue with that.

At least judging by these official renders. We’ll report back when something more tangible emerges.
