Fuori Concorso
From May 24 to 25, Maserati will be the leading light on Lake Como with the GT2 Stradale and MCXtrema. This will be the first time these star cars have taken part in FuoriConcorso, a prestigious automotive event held annually since 2019 at the historic residences of Villa del Grumello and Villa Sucota, attracting thousands of collectors, experts, car enthusiasts, and fans of ‘beauty.’ Every year, the event highlights a different aspect of automotive history and creativity with a line-up of customized, iconic, rare, and unreleased cars and prototypes.
Italian Racers
The theme this year is “Velocissimo – Italian Race Cars,” an evocative tribute to the most representative racing cars that have made motorsport history. The two Trident cars on display fit in perfectly: the new GT2 Stradale and the exclusive MCXtrema, both serving as the epitome of the brand’s DNA. While FuoriConcorso stands out for its refined atmosphere and display of iconic, rare cars often never seen before, from both private collections and prestigious car manufacturers, Maserati finds its natural environment here to present two extraordinary creations that strike the right balance between elegance and limitless performance.
Road Legal
The new GT2 Stradale, on show in the refined “Bianco Audace” livery created by Officine Fuoriserie Maserati, represents an evolution of sportiness meant not solely for the track. Created as the road-legal version of the GT2 race car that took the House of the Trident back to racing and victory in closed-wheel championships, GT2 Stradale is a mixture of the two iconic worlds of Maserati, those of elegance and racing. It embodies the brand’s racing spirit and at the same time offers comfort and driving pleasure for everyday use.
Serious Numbers
With an output of 631 hp, acceleration from 0 to 60 mph in 2.8 seconds and a top speed of 201 mph, the GT2 Stradale also stands out for its weight, reduced by 132 lbs compared to the MC20. Courtesy of the extraordinary V6 Nettuno engine, which can achieve 621 hp in the MC20 configuration, the GT2 Stradale is the most powerful road-going Maserati with an internal combustion engine.
Alongside GT2 Stradale, a Maserati MCXtrema is on show with all the expressive power of its classic “Blu Extrema” livery. Not type-approved to be driven on the road, the car is designed for the most discerning of collectors and gentleman drivers seeking the utmost exhilaration on the track. Produced in a limited edition of only 62 units, the MCXtrema is a racing ‘beast’ thanks to the sheer power of its formidable 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 engine – derived from the Nettuno and in this case pushed to the limit – that can deliver 730 hp.
The car on display at Villa Sucota is a unique and distinctive manifestation of the pinnacle of Maserati performance, a creative combination of mechanical mastery, technical cleanliness, irresistible beauty, competitive grit, and refined aerodynamics. Two cars, two spirits, the GT2 Stradale and MCXtrema, but only one Trident. By taking part in FuoriConcorso 2025, Maserati celebrates its vision of luxury, innovation, and passion for driving in a unique setting, where art, beauty, and engines come together.
