Maserati MCXtrema

Inside the MCXtrema, everything extraneous has been removed for weight savings and to help the driver focus on the task at hand.

Making its debut at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering, the Maserati racer will be limited to 62 units, and as a track toy, it won’t be street-legal.

The steering wheel boasts a 5.0-inch display, buttons and rotary selectors, carbon and aluminum construction, and a squared-off grip design for both aesthetics and ergonomics.

The command center and steering wheel controls will give the driver access to steering and traction control calibration, lap times, pit speed limiter, and communications systems.

The hits from Monterey Car Week keep on coming, with the latest being the Maserati MCXtrema track-only supercar.

Based on the gorgeous MC20, the MCXtrema boasts far more angular styling, an aggressive aerodynamics package, and 730 horsepower from its Nettuno twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6.

Above an oversized diffuser is an imposing design for the rear, with a complex mesh of carbon fiber surrounding the exhaust outlets and trident-theme taillights.

But for privateers and collectors, the MCXtrema will be a worthy followup to the MC12 Corsa from the mid-2000s.

Underneath the carbon fiber monocoque and body structure is a version of the twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 found in the MC20.

Maserati says the underbody of the MCXtrema is almost completely flat for better aerodynamics.

The MCXtrema will be customizable for each individual customer, including the position of the steering wheel, pedal box, and controls

In the transition from slinky MC20 supercar to aggressive track rat, the MCX gets sleeker, sharper bodywork, with a longer and lower front end

Peaked front fenders recall the legendary 1959 Maserati Tipo 61 “Birdcage,” while trident-shaped air vents on the clamshell add downforce.

A flying buttress around the B-pillar channels air toward both the rear wing and the mid-mounted engine’s radiator vents.

There’s also a roof-mounted split air intake that flanks a prominent, illuminated sharkfin, which improves stability and routes air toward the massive rear wing.
