Here at Jim Butler Maserati of St. Louis, we’re still buzzing from the action at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed, one of the automotive world’s most iconic events. Maserati made a dramatic statement over the four-day celebration of speed, design, and Italian engineering. If you love performance, this year was one for the history books.
Butterfly Doors, Nettuno Roar: Why the MCPURA Was the Talk of the Festival
At the center of it all? The global debut of the new Maserati MCPURA—a bold evolution of the already legendary MC20. With its sleek carbon-fiber structure, striking butterfly doors, and the advanced Nettuno V6 engine, the MCPURA isn’t just a supercar. It’s a masterclass in what Italian performance can be. It’s available in both a fixed-roof coupe and a convertible variant known as the MCPURA Cielo. The MCPURA Cielo features a state-of-the-art electrochromic glass roof that shifts transparency at the touch of a button.
Between the unveilings, Hillclimb thrills, and rare appearances of collector-grade models, the Maserati pavilion was a magnet for enthusiasts. Crowds gathered to witness firsthand how Maserati blends old-world craftsmanship with future-facing performance. Drivers and engineers were on hand, offering rare insights into what it takes to design machines that ignite the senses. But the excitement didn’t stop there.
Sculpted for Speed: Maserati GT2 Stradale Is Motorsport in Motion
As engines roared and tires screeched, it was clear, this wasn’t just a show; it was a statement. Maserati is more than back. It’s leading. The GT2 Stradale lit up the Hillclimb with raw energy and an unmistakable soundtrack, thanks to a newly developed racing exhaust system crafted in partnership with TubiStyle. Inspired by Maserati’s dominance on international tracks, this road-legal version of the GT2 race car delivers pure mechanical emotion—engineered for the street, born from the circuit.
Every curve, note, and detail is intentional—from its handcrafted titanium exhaust, which cuts weight and boosts sound, to its aggressive aerodynamic lines. This is Maserati’s motorsport DNA brought to life, and we can’t wait to show you what that feels like behind the wheel.
Meet the MCXtrema: 740 Horses, 62 Units, Zero Compromises
Also turning heads was the stunning new GranCabrio, finished in an elegant Verde Giada and powered by the same 3.0-liter twin-turbo Nettuno V6 under the hood. With nearly 500 horsepower and a 0–60 time around four seconds, it blends drop-top cruising with serious performance—all wrapped in signature Italian luxury.
And for the true collectors among us? Meet the MCXtrema. Built strictly for the track and limited to just 62 units worldwide, this ultra-exclusive supercar was shown in a jaw-dropping Blue Xtrema finish. With 740 horsepower and a racing pedigree, it’s a car that defines extremes in every sense.
Maserati Reborn: Past Victories, Future Visions
This entire lineup is part of Maserati’s global celebration of the Trident’s legacy—from the first victory at the Targa Florio in 1926 to today’s innovations in both gas-powered and all-electric performance. With Maserati now pushing forward into a new era of high-performance luxury, it’s an exciting time for long-time fans and new enthusiasts alike.
From the elegant GranTurismo and GranCabrio to the thrilling MC20, and now with electrified models like the Grecale Folgore and GranTurismo Folgore, Maserati continues to redefine Italian excellence for a new generation of drivers.
