Goodwood FOS: Maserati to make a world debut

LONDON: At the Goodwood Festival of Speed (July 10 - 13), The House of the Trident will unveil a world debut of a new and authentic expression of energy crafted in the true Maserati way.

In a statement, Maserati said the debut will take place during the event, capping a groundbreaking journey that started in Modena — the brand’s nerve center and symbol of Italian knowhow —and culminates at the prestigious Goodwood estate in West Sussex, in the south of England.

The GranCabrio, Maserati GT2 Stradale, and MCXtrema will also take centre stage as they prepare to conquer the legendary Hillclimb.

The Maserati GT2 Stradale, the homologated road version of the GT2, is one of the vehicles on display in the Supercar Paddock.

Equipped with the iconic 640PS (471kW) Nettuno V6 engine, the GT2 Stradale accelerates from 0 to 100kph in 2.7 seconds and reaches a top speed of over 320kph, making it the most powerful combustion-engine Maserati ever built for both the track and road.

The model on display at Goodwood features a glossy Blu Corse livery by the Officine Fuoriserie Maserati, 20-inch alloy wheels, and numerous matte carbon-fiber details.

The interior is embellished with fine black Alcantara upholstery and Alcantara Blu racing seats.

Alongside it, the new 490hp Maserati GranCabrio stands out with its Verde Giada paint job, black brake calipers, diamond-cut and Crio-design Glossy Black wheels (20-inch in the front and 21-inch in the rear).

Meanwhile, the interior features ice-colored perforated full-grain leather, with the Maserati Trident logo embroidered on the headrest.

The model is topped off with 3D carbon-fiber finishes and full LED headlights with a dark finish.

This GranCabrio is a style icon and the perfect embodiment of pure performance thanks to refined details such as a retractable soft top that offers the best open-air experience and space for four true seats.

The 490PS 3.0-litre V6 Nettuno Twin Turbo allows the car to reach 300 km/h, with acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4 seconds.

Capping off the Trident’s lineup at the Festival of Speed is a Maserati MCXtrema in a stunning Blue Xtrema livery created specifically for this four-wheel masterpiece.

Homologated for track use only and produced in just 62 world-exclusive models, the Trident supercar is a genuine racing “beast” thanks to the sheer power of its formidable 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 engine – derived from the Nettuno and in this case pushed to the limit – that can deliver 740hp.

The three vehicles on display in the Supercar Paddock will also take to the track, tackling the famous Goodwood Hillclimb — a nearly 2km stretch that winds through ancient trees, tricky bends, and flint walls, traversing the center of the estate and passing by the Goodwood House before climbing towards the Racecourse on the top of South Downs.

This stretch features a 100-meter ascent that has always put even the most seasoned drivers to the test.
