Aug 22, 2023

Monterey, CA is a city that offers an unforgettable coastal experience, with an optimal climate and beautiful vistas. Every summer here, enthusiasts from all over the world gather on the Peninsula to take part in seeing what is coming next in the innovative and exciting world of engineering and design. One of our pristine new creations ready to be unleashed is the MCXtrema, and this setting with charming shops and natural beauty is where it was first unveiled to the public.

The MCXtrema is ready to fully unleash 730 horsepower and is housed in a modern design that has track-like charm with a swooping front end that must be seen to closely comprehend. At this point, just 62 units of the limited edition have been produced, and they will surely benefit from a driving experience that was just a decade ago purely unimaginable. Presented illustriously and proudly as our outright most powerful car to contend with corners and straightaways, it will no doubt serve as an outright amazing and very inspiring addition for loyal Trident purists.

The partnership between the genius team at Centro Stile and our Maserati engineering team has made this model possible: it will be thrilling to see the legacy of the Maserati MC12 be passed on in an environment of very stiff track competition, and consistently inspire future racing worldwide. There is no doubt that this will be a model that will achieve the highest level of distinction in the details, displaying innovative and refined design. The MCXtrema goes all-in to embody an aggressive and very free spirit that is typical of Maserati’s DNA, and the thrilling beginnings of a new chapter for our brand.

Luxury engine production is still in its prime, even as the future of electrification has ushered in a new set of expectations and potential boundaries for the future. As the original symbols of heritage such as the Grecale and Levante had shown that the highest-quality materials and world-class technical engineering would always remain exceptional, the lofty goal of fully-electric versions for each model will be accomplished within two years. The MCXtrema’s streamlined aesthetics provide an enthusiastic nod to the iconic Birdcage, with safety and high performance as key high-quality components.

Inside there’s an amazing racing seat with a 6-point belt and roll cage for the utmost in safety, with ergonomic engineering brazed to perfection offering maximum comfort. The carbon steering wheel itself is an alluring design masterpiece with its 5-inch central display, buttons, rotary selectors, and satisfying trademark grip. Ultimately stacking up with a fully flat underfloor, minimal ride height, incredible rear wing and shark fin, and intensified cooling system for the engine, this exhilarating and corner-hugging racer is just waiting to be primally pushed into the red.

A power-to-weight ratio of 1.8 kg/CV and a resounding dry weight of about 1,300 kg, the MCXtrema is going to truly evoke a “feather-light” driving character and presence. The carbon-fiber racing brakes have been adapted for extreme track usage, and the brand-new double wishbone suspension geometry allows for conquering every imaginable road condition. The racing world will be thrilled to usher in this car dedicated to the presence of gentleman drivers and diehard enthusiasts everywhere and to properly carry the torch for extreme racing passion. From the steering wheel, the driver will be able to adjust the traction control and ABS, solidifying the qualities that will make an elite group thrilled to “contend and qualify” each day!
