For luxury cars that pack a punch, Maserati stands tall above the rest. The official luxury car of Italy has been revving engines and breaking records since its racing debut nearly a century ago. Revisiting a journey filled with unforgettable moments on some of the world’s most famous circuits, and engineering marvels that changed the game, this brand has always had racing in its blood.

Maserati’s racing story started off with the Tipo 26—the first car to proudly rock the iconic Trident logo. It was during this debut, Maserati nabbed a win at the 1926 Targa Florio. But the victories didn’t stop there—the legendary Maserati MC12 would go on to dominate with 22 winning races, and pick up an impressive 14 Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile Gran Turismo titles. Now, after a decade-long break Maserati is back with the GT2, channeling the success of its predecessor, the iconic MC12. Designed with a perfect blend of cutting-edge innovation and pure racing spirit, the GT2 racked up more victories than any other manufacturer in its debut season in the Fanatec GT2 European Series by Pirelli. All to say, Maserati knows a thing or two about speed.

This year at the Monterey Car Week in California, Maserati unveiled its latest marvel: the Maserati GT2 Stradale. Showcasing the brand's impressive feel for both style and racing performance, the GT2 Stradale is the lovechild of the GT2, created for the brands return to GT competitions, and the iconic MC20. With a top speed of over 324 km/h, a max output of 640 horsepower, and the ability to rocket from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.8 seconds, the GT2 Stradale isn’t messing around. What we’re saying is, your weekly grocery run is about to feel like you’re zooming around a racetrack.

To make the brand's thrill of racing even more clear, Maserati unveiled its ‘Racing is Life’ campaign along with the world premiere of the GT2 Stradale. The message is loud and clear—with Maserati, racing is not just a sport. It’s all about that unstoppable drive to be the best, whether you’re on the track or just cruising around town, fueled by the pure thrill of competition. Maserati’s here to show that when it comes to racing, it's all about attitude.
