Maserati’s commitment to high-octane performance is evident in their latest offerings. The GT2 Stradale, a road-legal variant of their GT2 race car—which itself draws heavily from the MC20—serves as a prime illustration of this ambition. For those truly seeking the adrenaline rush, the manufacturer has introduced the Maserati MCXTrema, a specially modified MC20 designed exclusively for the track.

Exclusive Racing Attire for Discerning Drivers

As Maserati propels itself into the world of high-speed motorsport, safety remains a paramount concern. In partnership with Sparco, a respected name in racing apparel and equipment, they have unveiled a range of FIA-approved racing kits. Named the “Replica” and “MCXtrema”, these kits include essential gear such as race suits, helmets, shoes, gloves, and various accessories.

The launch took place at the Modena Autodromo during Maserati’s Trident Experience event, celebrating the brand’s illustrious 110-year history.

Replica Racing Kit: A Nod to Professional Drivers

The Replica kit is designed to replicate the racing suits worn by Maserati’s professional drivers. Customers have the option to select from two helmet styles: the Air RF-5W full-face model or the Pro RJ-31 Air open-face variant, both designed with sun protection in mind. Additional gear includes racing undergarments, balaclavas, and twin duffel bags in varying sizes.

MCXtrema Kit: A Prestige Statement for Elite Owners

On the more exclusive end of the spectrum lies the MCXtrema kit, crafted for the 62 discerning individuals privileged to own this remarkable vehicle. It comes standard with both a “Top Suit” and a “Super Light Suit,” catering to different racing scenarios. Owners can also choose between reinforced “Laces Shoes” or the lightweight “Strap Shoes.”

Notably, Maserati indicates that this version of the kit offers personalization options, though specific details were not disclosed.

Innovative Helmets and Upgraded Gear

The helmets in the MCXtrema kit are composed entirely of carbon fiber, with choices including the Sky RF-7W full-face helmet and the Sky RJ-7 open-face option. Like its Replica counterpart, this kit allows for racing underwear and balaclavas, but elevates the duffel bags to two-wheeled cases for increased mobility.

Conclusion

Bringing your own racing kit to the track can be impressive, but donning a tailored Maserati ensemble next to a vehicle that only 61 others share globally takes exclusivity to a whole new level. Although Maserati has yet to disclose pricing details for this bespoke racing gear, it is likely that the age-old adage, “if you have to ask, you can’t afford it,” rings true here.
