Maserati MCXtrema

The Maserati MCXtrema is a limited-production track day car by Italian marque Maserati. The MCXtrema is a derivative of the Maserati MC20, with significant weight savings and more advanced aerodynamics. The Nettuno engine found in the MC20 has also undergone changes to produce more power. Customers who purchase the car will be able to customise it via Maserati's Fuoriserie (custom-built) program, and production will be limited to 62 units.[2][1]

Specifications

Built upon a carbon-fibre monocoque, the car features significant use of carbon-fibre along with other natural fibres to significantly lower the weight compared to the road-legal MC20.[3] Maserati aims for a dry weight of 1,250 kg (2,756 lb),[4] which would mean that it is over 250 kg (551 lb) lighter than the MC20. Double wishbone suspension along with adjustable dampers, front and rear anti-roll bars provide ride height control for the car.[5] The Nettuno engine has been fitted with two new turbochargers, increasing the power output to 544 kW (740 PS; 730 hp), sent to the rear 18 in forged aluminium wheels via a 6-speed sequential manual transmission paired with a mechanical limited slip differential.[6] Stopping power is provided by ventilated carbon ceramic Brembo brakes.[7] Other features include a FIA-standard 120 L (32 US gal) fuel tank, along with a FIA-standard fire extinguisher and roll cage. Air-conditioning, a feature traditionally not found on track-focused cars, is also standard along with a seat for a passenger.[8]
