Maserati Project24 track-only supercar announced

Maserati has announced a new limited-edition track-only supercar called the Project24.

The Maserati Project24 features a radical design with an aggressive front end. The low-slung front fascia neatly integrates the familiar Maserati grille. The mid-engined racer has an adjustable rear wing with a shark fin and LED tail lights that look like the Trident logo.

The Project24 uses the same powertrain as the Maserati MC20. The 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 gets new turbochargers that bump the overall output to 740 hp. The engine is mated to a 6-speed sequential gearbox via a racing clutch. Power is sent to the rear axle via a limited-slip self-locking differential.

The company is targeting an overall dry weight of less than 1250 kg and a power-to-weight ratio of 1.69 kg/hp. The Project24 track car also features bespoke suspension, carbon ceramic brakes, FIA-approved safety features and race tyres.

Maserati plans to build only 62 units of the Project24 track car.
