Monterey Car Week 2024: Maserati set for world premiere of new super sports car
Modena, Italy – August 1, 2024 – On Friday, August 16, in the setting of the traditional and unmistakable “The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering” event in California, Maserati is preparing to unveil its newest creation to the world.
Resulting from the Trident's experience on track and dedicated to those who do not wish to sacrifice extraordinary performance on the road, this new car guarantees innovative technological solutions and impressive aerodynamic performance, typical of the fastest and most exciting racing cars.
The Maserati super sports car will be presented as part of one of the most anticipated and prestigious motorsports gatherings of the year, an event that brings together enthusiasts from all around the world, breathtaking models, as well as previews and exclusive auctions: Monterey Car Week, due to take place in California from August 14 to 19.
This powerful car – designed, developed, and produced entirely in Italy by Maserati – inherits the racing spirit of the Maserati GT2, the spearhead of the Modena brand's racing production; at the same time, it is a further evolution of the MC20, the Trident’s halo car, first equipped with the unmistakable V6 Nettuno engine.
The MC20 project represents state of the art of Maserati performance. From the outset of its technical development, a racing evolution was envisaged that would come to life in two directions, with the track version and its road counterpart, developed in close synergy by the same team that shares technological know-how and certain specific components.
The highly anticipated new leading light in the Maserati range will be the focus of this electrifying American show, which offers glamour, style, refined elegance, and stunning array of classic and modern cars that win over crowds and enchant the most discerning of collectors.
Enthusiasts will find themselves before a one-of-a-kind car with an unmistakable aesthetic, defined by a wide range of customisation options, with details typical of a racing car without sacrificing the comfort and hallmarks of road models.
A car destined to be on the wish list of customers attracted by the most extreme super sports cars, is ready to welcome drivers and make them feel like a true racer, even off the track.
The world premiere of this new Maserati, due to take place on Friday, August 16 at 9:12 am PST, will be introduced by Giovanni Perosino, the brand’s Chief Marketing and Communications Officer, along with Klaus Busse, Maserati Head of Design. The exclusive setting of The Quail will also play host to the MC20 Icona and MCXtrema.
MC20 Icona, a special series produced as a limited edition and inspired by the 2004 MC12 Stradale, was presented in June 2024 and will be seen for the first time in person by the North American public.
MCXtrema, unveiled at The Quail in 2023, is the most formidable Maserati racing car, type-approved for track use only: dedicated to the excellence of gentleman drivers and fans of racing cars, only 62 units have been produced, the first of which will be delivered at the Laguna Seca circuit during Monterey Car Week 2024.

Maserati delivers Quattroporte Grand Finale and MC20 Iris One-Offs: two masterpieces with unique details, the epitome of Italian artisanship
On Wednesday 31 July in Stresa, in the enchanting setting of Lake Maggiore, two special Maseratis – symbols of the Modena-based company's most exclusive and extraordinary custom-built production – were delivered to a passionate Trident customer in the US, a significant entrepreneur in the biomedical sector.
One is the last Quattroporte – as well as the final model made with the V8 combustion engine – renamed for the grandiose Quattroporte Grand Finale farewell from the automotive scene. The other, MC20 Iris, referring to all the colours of the rainbow (iris is the Latin equivalent) that feature all over the car, inside and out.
Thanks to the fine details and complex workmanship used in both cars, designed as part of the Maserati Fuoriserie customisation programme, the House of the Trident has produced two unique creations to fulfil the requirements of a customer who has witnessed the customisation of two leading lights in the brand’s history becoming a reality: the Quattroporte luxury saloon, for six generations the perfect interpreter of Maserati excellence, and the more modern Maserati MC20, an iconic super sports car with an unmistakable style.
The exterior of the Quattroporte Grand Finale features the elegant Blu Nobile colour, with the body kit made of carbon fibre, painted in the same tone, and brake callipers in brushed aluminium. The last Quattroporte Maserati will ever make is equipped with the unforgettable, powerful 572-hp V8 engine. On the windscreen, and inside the driver door, the identification number of the car is imprinted: 999999. A custom cover has also been created to house the roaring engine, imprinted with the signatures of the Fuoriserie team and the engineers who worked on the project.
The interiors are a tribute to meticulous Italian artisanship and renowned mastery, to enhance the high-quality materials and meet the customer’s specific requests: these include the steering wheel with burl accents, door panels in tan, A-pillar in black leather, Trident logo with black stitching on the headrest, leather-lined boot and passenger door handle accents in burl. The special ‘Grand Finale' badge on the central tunnel, and the dedicated door sill with the same wording, give the Quattroporte Grand Finale a decidedly distinctive appearance, for a car that even in its latest version is confirmed as an undisputed icon.
The MC20 Iris is another very special car, the result of the equally precise and detailed artisanship of Maserati engineers, who requested greatest experts in the industry, for a final result that would be difficult to replicate. The car’s common thread is the rainbow (iris), a motif personally chosen by the customer. The lively and futuristic AI Aqua Rainbow colour distinguishes the exterior and is reproduced on the Trident in plain sight in the centre of the hubcaps, defining this car’s strong stylistic personality.
In the cabin, the AI Aqua Rainbow colour enhances the stitching that serves as the standout feature on the armrest, on the central tunnel – both in ICE leather, the first time a tunnel has been made of this prestigious material – and on the steering wheel.
The ‘+’ and ‘-’ signs on the steering wheel paddles are also the same colour as the viewfinder on the upper rim of the steering wheel, rather than in white. The door sill is embellished with the laser-cut 'MC20 Iris' lettering; the AI Aqua Rainbow colour returns in the stitching, the standout feature on the engine compartment and the boot. In this specific, exclusive guise packed with refined details, the MC20 is once again a first of its kind, a car that combines Maserati tradition and the best elements that characterise the brand's future.
