The Maserati Project24 is an exclusive, 740hp track weapon

MANILA: The Project24 is Maserati's next exclusive, track-only machine. Only 62 super sports cars will be produced as part of a project (known only by its codename) to increase the brand's "limitless" performance to a new degree of exhilaration on the track.

The Project24 is the epitome of exclusivity with which Maserati will provide a special array of services, such as track-specific experiences and cutting-edge support, only for the supercar's owners.

The truly extreme track-only car inherits the features of the Maserati MC20 while enhancing them with even more advanced technical features.

These modifications include the cutting-edge V6 Nettuno engine that now adds new turbochargers to increase its power to 740hp, innovative suspension, carbon-ceramic braking system, racing-tuned tires, as well as FIA-approved safety features.

The Project24's 740hp, three-liter, V6 engine features the Maserati Twin Combustion (MTC) Twin Spark with TJI double combustion control and dry sump. The engine is mated to a six-speed sequential racing gearbox that sports paddle shifters, racing clutch, and limited-slip self-locking mechanical differential for the rear-wheel drive. 

Complying with FIA regulations, the Maserati Project24 is equipped with an FIA-homologated FT3 120-liter fuel tank, and FIA-spec fire extinguisher with safety roll cage. 

The new Maserati car will have a goal weight of less than 1,250 kilograms to fit the brand's concern with lightness. With the ideal balance of output and lightweight, an amazing vehicle with a power-to-weight ratio of roughly 1.69 kg/hp is produced.

The goal weight will come from the carbon-fiber bodywork with specific components in natural fibers, which is matched with high-performance aerodynamics and a multi-adjustable front and rear wing. An ultra-light carbon fiber central monocoque is the also a highlight of the chassis. 

Aside from standard six-point racing harnesses and adjustable anti-roll bars and dampers, the Maserati Project24 will come with optional extras to enhance its track-driving experience. These include telemetry recording, in-car camera for video recording, dash and data acquisition system, and driving performance optimization display. 

The Centro Stile Maserati-designed Project24 has an entirely new appearance. This time, Maserati design pushes the limits without the limitations often present in a race car. The end result is something that has never been seen before, fusing elegance with real sporting prowess to instantly become a great collector's item.
