Maserati Delivers Multi-Million Dollar 1-of-62 MCXtrema to owner at Monza Circuit

An exclusive affair

Maserati’s MCXtrema, its track-only variant of the Maserati MC20, is a sight to behold both in photos and in person. With extensive use of carbon fiber, cutting-edge aerodynamics, and a twin-turbocharged Nettuno V6 engine, the 2,756 lb MCXtrema boasts 730 hp sent through a 6-speed sequential manual transmission paired with a mechanical limited slip differential. And yes, it does have air conditioning.

Of course, such a special affair must be a limited edition, which is why the MCXtrema is limited to only 62 units, reserved for some of Maserati’s most loyal customers. One such lucky owner took delivery of his track beast at none other than the “Italian Temple of Speed,” the Monza Circuit.

A delivery experience to remember

The car was customized to the owner’s taste, with a reported “Tech Beast” being the overall theme. The body is finished in a gloss-on-matte-effect blue up front and white at the rear, with a Trident on the hood and the number 44 on the door and rear fin. The interior sports a dark blue color with options like the passenger seat kit, rearview camera, and extra fan kit.

“MCXtrema is the ultimate expression of Maserati’s DNA: a perfect mix of racing tradition, passion, and relentless innovation. To see this extraordinary car brought to life for a customer is a source of pride for the entire brand,” said Maria Conti, Head of Maserati Corse.

In addition to receiving the MCXtrema directly from Maserati’s Chief Test Driver and multiple world champion racer Andrea Bertolini, the lucky owner also took part in what Maserati calls the “MCXperience.” According to the automaker, this gives the owner the privilege of learning about what their car can do on track from professional drivers and Maserati Corse techs. Of course, it wouldn’t be right to take such a car on track without the proper gear, so Maserati offered the owner a Sparco Racing Kit with a Maserati-branded racing suit, shoes, a helmet, and gloves.

Final thoughts

Maserati has been on a roll with their models lately, and the MCXtrema is one hell of a deal. I was privileged enough to see its unveiling in person at Monterey Car Week, and it’s not something I’m likely to forget. It’s also a really lovely gesture when automakers like Maserati arrange such special delivery events for their customers, although when you pay somewhere in the millions for a car like this, it’s to be expected.
