“We’re very proud to provide our teams and gentleman drivers with a car
that can stand out and guarantee cutting-edge technologies, significant performance
and a unique, unmistakable driving style. Expanding the range of competitions in
which Maserati GT2 can take part equates to accommodating the desires and
requirements of our passionate customers. Plus, thanks to the new Endurance Pack,
we’re delighted to take the Trident to the tracks for the world’s most famous
endurance races. We promised we would return to covered-wheel racing and last year
we did so, reaping a season of great successes; we are now expanding the range of
competitions we can take part in and can’t wait to be back on the starting grid of
the European GT2 Series by Pirelli, with more and more Maserati
cars.”
New Endurance Pack for Maserati
GT2
After various test sessions on the track, the kit is now
ready for teams and drivers who own a Maserati GT2 or those looking for a
competitive car on any track and in any race format to also participate in endurance
car competitions that test the endurance of the super sports car over long periods
of time, from four to 24 hours.
The new pack consists of Endurance lighting kits, electroluminescent number
panels on the door, additional sensors, brake bell system and cabin UV light
kit.
With lightweight, resistant components, the package guarantees excellent
visibility in night sessions, greater speed during pit stops, enabling teams to
compete at the highest level without compromising reliability. The lighting kit and
electroluminescent number panel will also christen the debut of Maserati GT2 at
night.
The Endurance Pack can be purchased as an optional extra for a new car or
as an adaptation kit for a previously purchased Maserati GT2. The kit’s components
will be available as spare parts on the after-sales portal dedicated to Maserati
Corse customers. The Endurance Pack is available as a complete kit or individual
packages, for customisation tailored to the specific requirements of each team or
driver. *
* The new Endurance pack can be purchased as part of a package, although
the configuration with no kit or the full kit is type-approved.
New scope of conquest for Maserati GT2 in sprint
races

25-minute races scheduled as part of the GT Sprint Cup series. After the runner-up
position (also equivalent to second in the UCS2 class) for Charlaix in Race 1 came
the two overall victories by teammate Boisson, in rounds 2 and 4. Race 3 also saw
another podium for Charlaix, who finished third.

for the Maserati GT2: the countdown has begun and the new season of the GT2 European
Series by Pirelli is due to kick off on the French track.House of the
Trident’s cars starred in the 2024 season with victory in the drivers’ and teams’
titles in the Am Class.

permitted to enter the series. The Trident super sports car was suitable to engage
in the four race weekends of the season, each of which will include two 50-minute
races (+ 1 lap).
Maserati S.p.A.
Maserati produces a
complete range of unique cars, immediately recognizable for their extraordinary
personality. Thanks to their style, technology, and innately exclusive character,
they delight the most discerning, demanding tastes and have always been a benchmark
for the global automotive industry. A tradition of successful cars, each of them
redefining what makes an Italian sports car in terms of design, performance,
comfort, elegance, and safety, currently available in more than 70 markets
internationally.
Maserati line-up includes the Grecale, the “everyday
exceptional” SUV, the GranTurismo, the iconic Italian grand tourer, and the
GranCabrio, the new convertible of the Trident; all models characterized by the use
of the highest quality materials and excellent technical solutions. A range equipped
with 4-cylinder hybrid powertrains – available for Grecale – and V6 petrol, with
rear-wheel and four-wheel drive, embodying the performance DNA of the Trident brand.
The top of the range is made up of the MC20 super sports car and the MC20 Cielo
spyder, powered by the ground-breaking 100% Maserati Nettuno V6 engine, which
incorporates F1-derived technologies into the power unit of a standard production
car for the first time. The GranTurismo is available with both the high-performance
V6 petrol engine, derived from the Nettuno, and a 100% electric version: the
GranTurismo Folgore, the first car in the Modena-based brand’s history to adopt this
solution. The full-electric range also currently includes the Grecale Folgore,
Maserati’s first 100% electric SUV, and the GranCabrio Folgore. Finally, the House
of the Trident’s latest addition is the Maserati GT2 Stradale, the road-legal
version of the GT2 that took Maserati back to the track in closed-wheel
championships. The heart of the new super sports car is the V6 Nettuno engine,
reaching 640 hp (471 kW) in the latter configuration. The GT2 Stradale is therefore
the most powerful road-going Maserati with an internal combustion
engine.
The mission at Maserati is to write the future of mobility in the
luxury segment, focusing on its customers’ requests. The Brand, in line with the
Stellantis “Dare Forward 2030” strategic plan, is now taking Italian luxury all over
the world.
