Maserati Returns to GT2 Racing with a Heavily Modified MC20

• Maserati is returning to grand tourer racing with the GT2, a modified version of the MC20 supercar.

• The same twin-turbocharged V-6 sits behind the race driver, but it'll likely make more than the road-legal car's 621 hp.

• The GT2-spec MC20 features adjustable dampers and anti-roll bars as well as a huge rear wing to go with plenty of carbon fiber.

Maserati will enter the GT2 European Series with a track-ready version of its MC20 supercar. The automaker today revealed the first images of the race car, simply dubbed GT2; a full reveal will take place in June at the 24 Hours of Spa.

The GT2 class, confusingly, slots between the GT4 and GT3 cars in terms of performance, and other homologated GT2 cars include versions of the Mercedes-AMG GT, KTM X-Bow, and Brabham BT63.

The GT2-spec MC20 will share the Nettuno twin-turbocharged V-6 engine with the road-going version. In the production MC20, the engine pumps out 621 horsepower and 538 pound-feet of torque, but Maserati says the race car takes it "to a higher level."
