When Maserati shows up, it never blends in. And the Maserati MCXtrema at Spa? It steals the spotlight without even trying.
This year marks a historic nod to 2005, twenty years after the iconic MC12 claimed victory at the 24 Hours of Spa. That win wasn’t just a milestone, it was a statement. Maserati never forgot it, and the MCXtrema’s arrival proves just how deeply that legacy still resonates.
Maserati MCXtrema at Spa Celebrates a Legend
The MCXtrema took center stage as the official Leading Car for Spa’s GT celebration. Draped in a blue and black livery, just like the legendary MC12 GT1, it captured fans’ attention from circuit to city centre.
Piloted by world champion Andrea Bertolini, the MCXtrema led a parade of hundreds, every detail of its design evoking Maserati’s iconic past. Lettered tributes across the body honored the brand’s greatest cars, drivers, and victorious tracks.
Performance with Purpose
Powering the MCXtrema is a race-spec evolution of Maserati’s Nettuno engine, a twin-turbo V6 that roars with purpose. It’s not built for the road. It was born for the track. Lightweight, aggressive, and dripping in motorsport engineering, this beast commands respect and admiration in equal measure.
A Step Toward the Century Mark
This isn’t just a reunion with glory. It’s part of a bigger journey. Maserati’s centenary in racing is just a year away, and this event plants another bold flag on that timeline. From the Tipo 26’s class win at Targa Florio to today’s electric-hybrid evolution, Maserati’s racing spirit has never wavered.
GT2 Series Action and More from Spa
Beyond the MCXtrema, Maserati brought muscle to the track with two GT2 entries from DINAMIC Motorsport and LP Racing. As part of the GT World Challenge Europe, the brand also supplied the full grid of support vehicles, from Grecales to the MC20, making Maserati’s presence felt well beyond the start line.
From Legacy to Future
The MCXtrema isn’t just a tribute. It’s a mission statement. It reminds fans and rivals alike that Maserati’s past still fuels its future. And as the Trident inches closer to its 100th year on track, one thing is clear: racing remains its beating heart.
Summary Maserati’s MCXtrema roared through Spa in 2025 with presence, passion, and performance. Paying homage to the MC12’s legendary victory, it sets the stage for another century of Italian racing brilliance.
