Driving The Maserati MC20 GT2 Around A Racetrack

With the introduction of the MC20 GT2, Maserati is embarking on a new journey, melding top-tier performance with accessibility for amateur racers. Derived primarily from the acclaimed MC20 supercar, the GT2 variant boasts Maserati’s signature Nettuno V6 engine, delivering an impressive 621 horsepower and 538 lb-ft of torque.

To distinguish itself from its road counterpart, the GT2 is outfitted with a six-speed sequential gearbox, complemented by paddle shifters and a motorsport-spec clutch, ensuring seamless gear changes on the track.

Maserati’s commitment to racing excellence is further exemplified through the use of a limited-slip mechanical self-locking differential, purpose-built for racing applications. Additionally, the GT2 features forged 18-inch center-lock wheels and two-way adjustable dampers at both axles, enhancing stability and maneuverability on the circuit.

Notably, the exhaust system on the GT2 has been reimagined, with the two exhaust tips positioned higher than on the MC20, reflecting its tailored design for competitive racing conditions.

Henry Catchpole from Hagerty was given the opportunity to test drive the Maserati MC20 GT2 to sese how fast can he go as an amateur racer around the race track.
