Limited edition Maserati super-GT could be launched in 2026

Maserati recently debuted the MCPura, the replacement for the MC20, at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. The Italian is now working on a new flagship super-GT that is expected to arrive sometime next year.

Santo Ficili, COO of Maserati, said, “We have infinite possibilities to customise products for our customers, for the entire range of Maserati. I’m imagining to do something like we did in the past, also considering Alfa Romeo.”

“We can imagine a ‘few-off’ Maserati. It’s easy, because you can look at the past of these two brands, and you can find a nice car like the 33 Stradale, and we can invent something like this,” he added.

The new super-GT will be the most exclusive and powerful combustion-engined car Maserati has ever produced since the MC12. Unlike the legendary V12 supercar, the new model is likely to be powered by a V6 engine.

It is said that the new limited edition will be a tribute to Maserati’s Nettuno V6 engine, which powers the Granturismo, Grecale and the new MCPura. It is expected to be tuned beyond 621 hp, but more interestingly, it could be paired with a manual gearbox.

Davide Danesin, Head of Maserati Engineering, said, “A manual gearbox is an opportunity. I don’t see that in big series [production], but why not do a special version with a manual gearbox. No reason to say never. It could be the right choice for a limited edition of a car.”

“By doing a purely mechanical car, it does make sense to have a mechanical gearbox with a shifter,” he said. “So why not?”
