A Fusion of Maserati’s Past, Present, and Future
The Maserati GT2 stands as a compelling synthesis of Maserati’s rich legacy and ambitious future. Drawing from the revered MC12, the GT2 also taps into the best racing attributes of the MC20 super sports car, pushing its formidable 463-kW/621-hp Nettuno V6 engine to its limit.
