Modena, 14 July 2025 – Against the dramatic backdrop of the Goodwood Festival of Speed, where heritage and horsepower converge, Maserati marked its most commanding presence yet. With the global debut of the all-new MCPURA super sports car and the spine-tingling hillclimb performance of the GT2 Stradale, the Trident delivered a festival of emotion, engineering, and Italian excellence.
Over four days, Maserati enthralled more than 200,000 enthusiasts, reaffirming its place at the pinnacle of motorsport-inspired luxury. From the paddocks to the fabled Hillclimb, the marque presented a dazzling portfolio of dynamic debuts, visceral soundtracks, and world-class design.
MCPURA: The Pinnacle of Maserati Performance
Unveiled on Thursday, 10 July, the MCPURA made its world debut as the purest embodiment of Maserati’s performance DNA. A spiritual evolution of the MC20, this new model takes the Trident’s engineering to its most exhilarating edge. Available in both coupé and convertible forms—the latter known as MCPURA Cielo—this ultra-high-performance model is built around four defining pillars:
- A carbon fibre monocoque chassis for maximum rigidity and lightweight performance
- The Nettuno V6, Maserati’s proprietary twin-turbocharged engine featuring pre-chamber combustion derived from Formula 1 technology
- Striking Butterfly doors, fusing drama with aerodynamic function
- And for the Cielo, a retractable electrochromic glass roof that transforms from clear to opaque at the touch of a button
The MCPURA is not just a new Maserati—it is a manifesto. A bold declaration of performance artistry, born from racing, built for the road.
GT2 Stradale: A Roar to Remember
While the MCPURA stole hearts in the paddock, it was the GT2 Stradale that sent shockwaves through the Hillclimb with its intoxicating roar. This road-legal version of Maserati’s victorious GT2 race car thrilled the crowd with every pass, powered by a brand-new racing exhaust system developed by Maserati Corse in partnership with TubiStyle—the same artisans behind the iconic MC12’s exhaust.
Crafted exclusively for track use from high-grade titanium, this hand-welded system reduces weight by 7 kg, intensifying the GT2 Stradale’s already aggressive dynamics. But more than numbers, it’s the sound that defines it: a raw, mechanical symphony that embodies Maserati’s motorsport soul and delivers a pure, unfiltered experience. With this innovation, Maserati Corse once again affirms its leadership in performance-driven engineering.
The GranCabrio and MCXtrema: Dual Personalities of Power and Poise
Complementing the GT2’s visceral performance was the elegant and refined GranCabrio, presented in a stunning Verde Giada livery. Its 490 hp Nettuno V6 Twin Turbo allows it to reach 100 km/h in just 4 seconds, while interior luxuries—such as Ice perforated top grain leather—make it as graceful as it is fast. The GranCabrio embodies open-air grand touring at its most sophisticated.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, the MCXtrema made a thunderous appearance in Blue Xtrema paintwork. Limited to just 62 units and built for track use only, this 740 hp machine redefines extreme performance. Derived from the Nettuno platform and honed without compromise, the MCXtrema is not merely a car—it’s a statement of Maserati’s relentless pursuit of racing perfection.
A Centenary in Motion
Goodwood 2025 also marked a pivotal celebration in the Year of the Trident—honouring 100 years of the emblem that has become a global symbol of Italian engineering prowess. This year-long journey of milestones will culminate in 2026, the centenary of Maserati’s first racing victory, when the Tipo 26 triumphed at the Targa Florio under the command of Alfieri Maserati.
The Festival of Speed proved a fitting chapter in this ongoing story—celebrating not just Maserati’s iconic past, but its bold vision for the future. With the debut of the MCPURA, the ferocious soundtrack of the GT2 Stradale, and an unrivalled display of luxury and power, the Trident leaves Goodwood not only as a showstopper but as a standard-bearer for what’s next in high-performance motoring.
Maserati isn’t just building cars—it’s writing history in real time. And the future has never sounded so good.
