Maserati, an Italian luxury supercar manufacturer, obsessed with speed. When the Maserati brothers started the company more than a century ago, they built a racing car that could win the high-level motorsports competition. The car maker was successfully on the racing track, but eventually wandered to make luxury street cars as well as racing cars. One of the sports cars ordered first is the MC20 Maserati that we took for a test drive – this is a Halo car for Maserati and will be charged no less than $ 212,000.
Although the MC20 is limited with a high price label, Maserati is considering producing more exclusive sports cars outside. “Yes, there is room for that, the client is interested, but (I) do not want to say more,” Davide Grasso, the CEO of the Maserati brand told Reuters in early 2022. Forward quickly to Friday, July 22, and Maserati revealed more details about The next super sports car is limited.
Project24 is more advanced than the MC20
The next Limited Super Sports Maseti car is named Project24, and see the picture given, the concept car has not been produced. The company says that “inheriting the MC20 maserati specifications” but will be more advanced. To put it in the context, it will use the same Nettuno V6 engine as the MC20, but Project24 will include turbocharger to increase power to 740 horsepower – this is 119 more horsepower than MC20.
The next limited car maseti will also weigh less than 2,755 pounds. This means it will be lighter with a better power-to-weight ratio than the MC20, which weighs around 3,300 pounds. In addition, it will be designed with better suspension and carbon ceramic brakes. Another big difference is that Project24 will use a six-speed gearbox instead of eight-speed double clutch transmission on MC20. However, it came with rear wheel drive like MC20.
It will be a track only race car
Maserati said Project24 will be a super sports car only track and “only 62 units” will be produced. This means that it will be more exclusive than MC20 Maserati. Because Project24 will not be legal road, passenger seats are optional. Of course, it will also come with a roll cage approved by FIA, 6 points safety belt, rain lights, fire extinguishers, and tires that are set. To improve experience, buyers will have an option to include tire pressure monitors, video recording cameras in cars, drive performance display, telemetry recording, and rear view cameras.
Interesting – The owner will have access to racing tracks and customer support if they want to test how fast it can happen. Maserati has not revealed when Project24 will come out or how much it costs. The car manufacturer hasn’t even revealed the original name! But because it will be more exclusive than the MC20, we can bet it will be more expensive.
