Recently, Maserati MCXtrema appeared on the track for testing purposes. From now until late April, this high-performance racing car will unleash up to 730 horsepower to conduct a series of professional tests to prepare for its first delivery at the end of this summer.
Maserati MCXtrema, with a limited production of 62 units worldwide, is a track-exclusive high-performance model that breaks through the existing framework through innovative design and exquisite craftsmanship, demonstrating the Trident brand’s unremitting pursuit of sportsmanship. Maserati road sports car MC20 is the creative foundation and source of inspiration for MCXtrema. After undergoing transformation and evolution, the original road sports car has become one of Maserati’s most innovative and bold works. As an interpretation of the brand’s track DNA, it also insists on 100% Italian design and manufacturing. A representative of Dacheng that combines brand excellence with performance. Maserati MCXtrema is currently undergoing a series of important tests on the track. While collecting data and completing final adjustments, it will also demonstrate its extraordinary and disruptive performance.

In February of this year, Maserati chief test driver Andrea Bertolini drove the MCXtrema to complete its passionate debut at the Autodromo Varano de’ Melegari racing track on the outskirts of Parma. Bertolini is one of the most successful drivers in the GT class, having won four world championships with the MC12. In the early stages of model development, he has been using dynamic simulators to assist vehicle development.
After a series of track tests in February and subsequent staged optimization adjustments, the 3.0L twin-turbo V6 “Nettuno” engine with 730hp (540kW) was able to fully release energy and push performance to a new level.
Maserati MCXtrema benefits from Maserati‘s world-leading R&D equipment, virtual analysis and powertrain calibration teams to make outstanding contributions to the birth of this performance masterpiece. By leveraging the cutting-edge technology of Maserati’s dynamic simulator, the incredible power contained in the Nettuno engine can be managed and regulated. Based on the development experience of the supercar MC20, engineers conducted in-depth analysis of each component and rigorous testing of the engine to ensure the high accuracy of the simulation results and ensure that the vehicle meets the expected state to the greatest extent during actual driving conditions.
