Maserati GT2 Stradale introduced, reaches 100kmph in 2.8 seconds

The Maserati GT2 has launched an even more hardcore version of its supercar, the MC20. By default, it is based on the track-prepped, GT2-based model MC20, with a weight difference of about 60 kg from the latter, and comes fitted with a 3.0-liter V6 turbo-petrol engine that unleashes an additional 10 plus horsepower. Let us know what else is special about it.

Under the hood lies a 3.0-liter turbo-petrol V6 that churns out 640hp of power. The marque claimed that the GT2 Stradale could do 0-100kph in just 2.8 seconds, considerably faster than the 829hp plug-in hybrid Ferrari 296 GTB.

It gets a new front diffusor and the GT2's larger rear wing, which can enhance its high-speed cornering and generate 500kg of aerodynamic downforce at 280kph. Other than this, the Stradale comes with more of the same suspension setup and steering-rack tune as the GT2. Maserati has fitted it with a braking set-up that includes ventilated discs, calipers and pads, and a slightly track-biased anti-lock system.

There's a new Corsa Evo driving mode added for the Maserati GT2 Stradale, which works as a higher four-level traction control system. However, this is only available with some option packs, detailing Michelin semi-slick tyres, electronic limited-slip differential, four-point seatbelts, etc.

The cost of the new car has not been announced by Maserati Company yet. Nevertheless, it would be rightly said that the car's price might range from $ 242,995 to $ 522,000.
