Maserati makes its mark at the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed
A memorable edition of the Goodwood Festival of Speed draws to a close, and Maserati bids farewell to the British public after four days celebrating Italian excellence. Amidst the world-bests, the Trident captivated motorsport fans with a charismatic and high-adrenaline presence, track runs, world premieres, and a paddock showcasing the very best of luxury and the standout highlights was the debut of the new MCPURA Super Sports Car, the purest expression of Maserati's performance-driven philosophy, which was unveiled on Thursday, 10 MCPURA takes the spirit of the MC20 and elevates it, bringing it to its most intense and refined form. Available immediately in both coupé and convertible versions (the latter dubbed MCPURA Cielo) this new model features four defining elements: a carbon fiber monocoque, the iconic Nettuno V6 engine with a patented pre-chamber combustion technology, the 'Butterfly' doors, and the retractable electrochromic glass roof for the cabrio terms of dynamics, it was the Maserati GT2 Stradale that stole the show, lighting up the legendary Hillclimb with its deep, magnetic sound—delivered by a brand-new racing exhaust system. Its mechanical symphony electrified the crowd, turning each run into a visceral experience. Born directly from Maserati's expertise on international racetracks, the GT2 Stradale is the road-legal version of the iconic GT2 race car that marked Maserati's return to victory in GT championships. The extraordinary roar came from a new racing exhaust system developed by Maserati Corse in collaboration with TubiStyle, a benchmark in high-performance exhaust and supplier of the original system for the legendary MC12. Built exclusively for track use and crafted from high quality titanium, the new system reduces weight by 7 kilograms compared to the standard setup, enhancing the car's dynamic capabilities even component is welded by hand to the highest artisanal standards, reflecting Maserati's commitment to technical and stylistic excellence. Created to amplify the performance of the engine, the new system delivers a direct and authentic sound that mirrors the GT2 Stradale's sporty character and Maserati's deep roots in motorsport. With this new system, Maserati Corse reaffirms its role in the development of high-performance on the same track as the legendary Hillclimb, two different interpretations of Maserati competed in a perfect alternation of dynamic refinement and extreme power. Under the spotlight, the new GranCabrio 490 hp, sporting a refined Verde Giada livery, with perforated Ice top grain leather interiors, powered by a 3.0 litres V6 Nettuno Twin Turbo engine, the GranCabrio reaches a top speed of 300 km/h and can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4 the event, the exclusive MCXtrema made its debut at the event, showing a spectacular Blue Xtrema livery. Homologated for track use only and limited to just 62 units, the MCXtrema is a true racing beast, equipped with a V6 3.0-litre twin-turbo derived from Nettuno producing 740 hp of pure power for an extreme driving 2025 thus comes to a close under the unmistakable sign of the Trident, which stole the show with the world premiere of MCPURA, the introduction of the new racing exhaust, and the presence of its most striking models both in the Super Paddock and on the challenging Hillclimb, defining Maserati's unique interpretation of high-performance was an exclusive top-class stage perfectly aligned with the Year of the Trident celebrations for the famous logo designed 100 years ago: an enduring symbol of Maserati's global excellence. A journey that will culminate in the centenary of Maserati's first racing victory, when the Tipo 26 (the first car with a Trident on its hood) won the Targa Florio in 1926 with Alfieri Maserati behind the wheel. An anniversary that honours the brand's glorious past while reaffirming Maserati's ongoing commitment to a future of excellence, innovation, and authentic Italian spirit. © 2000 - 2025 Al Bawaba ( Signal PressWire is the world's largest independent Middle East PR distribution service.

Maserati could offer a V8 engine again
Maserati has invested in a twin-turbo V6 engine, but it recognises V8s still have pull with premium vehicle buyers and isn't closing the door on ever offering one again. "We know the mood about V8s in the market of course, and would not say that we will never use again a V8 – maybe for special versions or some other models it's something we could consider," Maserati engineering boss Davide Danesin told media including CarExpert. "But for sure, the Nettuno is very much at the centre of our propulsion strategy at the moment. "It has a lot of innovation, it's super light, super compact, very high power density. "So from a design perspective, the Nettuno engine, it really has everything we need to really deliver the best driving experience for the customer." Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. The MC20 and its derivatives are powered by the Nettuno V6 in a rear mid-engine layout, while the new GranTurismo coupe and GranCabrio convertible will use it in a front mid-engine configuration. "The only way we could execute a front mid-engine concept is by going to [a] super compact, super powerful V6, because you can slot it in behind the front axle and even allow for all-wheel drive – a big V8 block, you could have not done [in] a mid-engine car," said Klaus Busse, Maserati's head of design. "So yes, you can say 'I have a V8' for bragging rights, but the driving performance would actually be inferior to that of what Davide and his team executed with the V6. Under its former CEO Carlos Tavares, Maserati parent company Stellantis shifted away from V8 engines – so much so that Maserati, long known for its sonorous V8s, dropped them entirely. The brand's Ferrari-developed twin-turbo 3.8-litre V8 was offered in the Ghibli and Quattroporte sedans and the Levante SUV, but these vehicles recently exited production and took the bent-eight with them; the last V8-powered Maserati built was a special Quattroporte called the Grand Finale (pictured above). The Nettuno V6 pre-dates the formation of Stellantis from the merger of Groupe PSA and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, but it's no secret that V8s were de-prioritised during Mr Tavares' time at the helm. The Hemi and Hellcat V8 engines were dropped from the Ram 1500 pickup lineup in favour of turbocharged six-cylinder engines – a move which Ram CEO Tim Kuniskis has subsequently reversed, calling it a 'mistake' – while the new-generation Dodge Charger moved to electric power and has the same Hurricane six-cylinder engines coming shortly. Jeep has also been progressively phasing out V8 engines. Given Ram is now returning the 5.7-litre Hemi V8 to its 1500 lineup, it appears there's more of an appetite for V8 engines under Stellantis' new CEO Antonio Filosa. Whether that means a bent-eight will return to the Trident marque remains to be seen, however. Maserati is Stellantis' flagship brand, and other high-end brands are sticking with V8s, even amid tougher emissions regulations in key markets like Europe. In many cases, rival brands are not only offering hybrid and electric powertrains alongside V8s, they're also using V8 engines as part of plug-in hybrid powertrains. Luxury brands that continue to offer V8 power include Aston Martin, Audi, BMW, Cadillac, Lamborghini, Mercedes-Benz and Porsche. Jaguar is moving to an electric-only lineup, something Maserati has previously promised to do by 2030. Since this announcement, however, Maserati cancelled plans to launch an electric Folgore version of its MC20 supercar. It has also delayed all-electric replacements for the Levante and Quattroporte.

Why This 70-Year-Old Maserati Is Stealing the Show at the 2025 Mille Miglia
This is the start of the Mille Miglia, a legendary 1,900-kilometer tear through Italy's most beautiful and historic towns. A place where the ghosts of racing legends like Nuvolari and Moss feel like they're riding shotgun. In a country that treats motorsport as a religion, this is one of the holiest events. Lined up are modern marvels from Maserati, including the GranCabrio and a range-topping GranTurismo Trofeo. But the sea of smartphones and appreciative stares aren't pointed at them. They're all aimed at a 70-year-old veteran that is commanding all the attention. We're talking about the Maserati A6 GCS/53, a car that's about pure driving and unfiltered history. It's the effortlessly cool icon in the corner of the room that has more stories to tell than any of the new kids, and frankly, it's the real reason we're paying attention. This isn't just any classic Maserati. This specific car, chassis no. 2043 is a proper legend. Think of it as the Tom Brady of the Mille Miglia. It has more appearances in the original, terrifyingly fast speed race (five consecutive times from 1953 to 1957) than any other Maserati in history. And it wasn't just showing up for a nice drive, being piloted by champions like the world-famous Luigi Musso. Its return to the famous "Freccia Rossa" route, 70 years later, is a truly special moment for racing fans. To make it all official, the car is currently undergoing its Certificate of Authenticity process with Maserati Classiche, the brand's program for verifying its iconic models. The A6 GCS/53 offered up clever engineering packed under that gorgeous bodywork. The short-stroke, twin-ignition "Superquadro" engine was the double espresso shot of 1950s engines. Small, potent, light, and built to rev to the moon. With twin overhead camshafts and a geartrain, this was Formula 1-level technology for a road-racing sports car producing around 170 horsepower at 7,300 rpm. Its whole purpose in life was to take over the super-competitive 2.0-liter sports car category. While it never won the Mille Miglia outright, it was the scrappy underdog that consistently punched way above its weight. In its first major outing at the Mille Miglia, it snagged sixth place overall and first in its class. It was fast, it was beautiful, and it carved out a special place in the hearts of fans for being a tenacious competitor. Related: Could the New Honda Prelude Spark a Comeback for Other Sport Coupes? Of course, Maserati didn't just bring their grandfather to the party alone. Accompanying the historic A6GCS/53, Maserati has designated several vehicles from its current range to serve as official support cars for the 2025 Mille Miglia. This contemporary lineup includes the GranCabrio, the GranTurismo Trofeo, and the Grecale Trofeo. Each one is sporting a special livery to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Trident logo, making this a full-on family reunion. The Maserati A6 GCS/53 is the star of this show because it possesses something that new cars, for all their power and technology, simply don't have yet: a story. It's a rolling, breathing piece of history, a physical link to a golden era of motorsport when drivers were heroes and the cars were breathtakingly dangerous. The A6 GCS/53 represents the very soul of Maserati. It's for the true enthusiast, the person who understands that while horsepower figures are temporary, legacy is forever. The new models are fantastic, but the A6 GCS/53 is a visceral reminder that true greatness isn't just engineered, it's earned over decades.
