Maserati’s Most Powerful Track-Only Car, the MCXtrema

This week, a car collector and race team owner took delivery of a very special vehicle – Maserati’s most powerful track-only car, the MCXtrema! The delivery took place at Sytner Maserati Ascot in Berkshire where the sight of the car must have created quite a stir.

The Maserati MCXtrema

Known as “The Beast of Modena,” the Maserati MCXtrema has a 730-horsepower, 3.0-litre twin-turbo Nettuno V6 engine, designed specifically for the race track. Only 62 units have been made so this will likely be the only one, or one of a very few ever to be seen in the UK.

 “I’m thrilled to receive the keys to my very own MCXtrema today. A lot of work has gone into defining the car to my exact configuration requirements and I couldn’t be happier. It’ll be great to get it out onto the track shortly where it belongs and seeing what it can really do in the UK!”

Design and Engineering: Crafted for Racing Excellence

The MCXtrema’s design includes a low ride height and several aerodynamic features like a front splitter, rear wing, and sculptural diffuser. All of these are for the purpose of enhancing stability and speed. Built with a carbon-fibre monocoque chassis, the car is both strong and lightweight, with a kerb weight of about 1,300kg.

Inside, the MCXtrema has a racing seat with a six-point belt, a protective roll cage, and a unique carbon and aluminium steering wheel with a central display and ergonomic controls. The car’s double-wishbone suspension, adjustable dampers, and high-performance braking system also help with the car’s performance on track.

The MCXtrema underwent extensive testing, with over 200 hours of dynamic tests and virtual simulations to ensure optimal performance on the track. Following its reveal at the Monterey Car Week and appearance at Laguna Seca earlier this year, the MCXtrema has set a high standard in Maserati’s racing lineup.

A Customised Race Car

MCXtrema owners are offered a tailored experience through Maserati’s exclusive MCXperience program. This package provides access to unique track events, the guidance of the Maserati Corse racing team, and a personal MCXperience Concierge for customised driving experiences and dedicated support. Each MCXtrema also comes with a specialised racing kit, co-designed with Sparco, to ensure maximum comfort and performance on the track.
