The car wasn't designed to meet any racing regulations, meaning its designers were free of all constraints when shaping the car.
Under the bespoke carbon-fiber body is the same Dallara-developed carbon tub found in the MC20, but here augmented with an FIA-homologated roll cage. The engine, a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6, is also borrowed from the MC20 but with output dialed to 730 hp, up from the MC20's 621 hp. The key upgrade were new turbos, according to Maserati.
Other features include a 6-speed sequential transmission with paddle shifters, adjustable aero, adjustable suspension, lightweight Lexan windows, Brembo brakes, and 18-inch forged wheels with center locks. Maserati hasn't released full specifications but has previously hinted at a dry weight of less than 2,755 pounds.
Maserati plans to offer a full program built around the MCXtrema. It will include driver coaching courses, track experiences, and logistics support, similar to programs offered by Ferrari and Lamborghini.
