Maserati's doing a track-only take on its MC20 called Project24. Does this preview a future one-make racer?
car. Maserati has not mentioned whether it intends to create a race series based around the Project24, instead just calling the car the ultimate expression of the MC20’s on-track potential.
Being based on the MC20 road car, the Project24 will share its technical foundation, including the carbonfibre monocoque made by Italian racing outfit Dallara. In combination with this is a revised version of the Nettuno V6 engine, here connected to a competition-level drivetrain. As in the road car, the Nettuno unit features a clever pre-combustion chamber system that increases both performance and efficiency, making it one of the most powerful V6 engines on sale.
Something that has been changed quite substantially between Project24 and MC20 is the styling, with almost no relation between them in either design or detailing. As revealed in these sketches, the Project24 has an aggressive motorsport-derived design, with new carbon panels making up all the exterior bodywork.
What Project24 might do, however, is reveal what design motifs we could see on future iterations of the MC20, perhaps leading to a stripped-out lightweight derivative in the mould of Lamborghini’s brilliant Huracán STO. For now we’ll have to wait a little longer to see the Project24 in the flesh, the ‘24’ in its moniker perhaps suggesting it’ll reach customers some time in 2024.
