The automaker also provided some technical details about the car that will take to the track in this championship. The MC20 GT2, as mentioned earlier, comes from the road version, from which it inherits some elements such as the Neptune engine, suspension geometry with a double wishbone solution equipped with a semi-virtual steering axle and a carbon monocoque.
Main engine produces 630 hp but the actual horsepower will be determined through the BoP (balance of performance), which also affects the vehicle’s dry weight. The unit is mated to a 6-speed sequential racing gearbox with paddle shifters. We also find a mechanical limited slip differential.
It is clear that the machine complies with FIA rules and has a special roll cage and fire extinguisher in accordance with FIA specifications. The body of the MC20 was modified with the addition of a special aerodynamic kit including an adjustable rear wing. The 18-inch wheels use slick tires. Davide GrassoMaserati CEO commented:
We are driven by our passion, both on the street and on the track. We have a long history of excellence in world class motorsport and we are very proud to be able to compete with the MC20. Racing has always been Maserati’s natural habitat and now, in both the Fanatec GT2 Championship and the Formula E Championship, our brand is being reborn from its roots to build its future.
