TRIDENT THRILLS
Maserati’s new racing hero gets a roadgoing counterpart.
WORDS : Tyler Rampersaud
THE NEW GT2 STRADALE SHOW THAT MASERATI’S NEW ERA IS ONE TO BE REMEMBERED.
MMaserati has transformed as a manufacturer in recent years, and much of that transformation was spurred on by the introduction of the Maserati MC20, the brand’s halo supercar which introduced the flagship “Nettuno” twinturbocharged V6 engine and succeeded the legendary Maserati MC12 supercar. However, the MC20 also served as the basis for Maserati’s return to GT racing, which the MC12 previously championed. Based on the Maserati MC20 is the Maserati GT2 racing supercar and a customer track-only supercar: the Maserati MCXtrema.
However, at this year’s Monterey Car Week, Maserati unveiled a new supercar: the GT2 Stradale. Made as a roadgoing version of the GT2 race car, the car brings the thrill of its heroic new racer to the street, resulting in an exclusive supercar that is bound to turn heads and pique the interest of performance enthusiasts.
The new GT2 Stradale bridges the gap between the stylish and luxurious MC20 and the racing-bred GT2, adding the GT2’s aggressive aerodynamics, added power, and track-ready equipment to the MC20’s stylish looks and on-road driving pleasure. The GT2 Stradale gets 640 horsepower from its 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine, a 10-horsepower increase from the MC20’s number. In addition, the car’s weight is decreased compared to the MC20 by over 132 pounds.
Exposed carbon fiber is available for detail pieces like the door sills, paddle shifters, di users, side skirts, hood, roof, and more.

As a result, the GT2 Stradale will rocket from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.8 seconds, reaching a top speed of over 198 mph. Despite its impressive, track-focused performance, Maserati says that the GT2 Stradale doesn’t sacrifice the driving experience of the MC20.
Style is a common trait throughout Maserati’s lineup, and the GT2 Stradale is no exception. Made as a race car for the road, the style of the GT2 Stradale borrows the beautiful proportions of the MC20 and gives the iconic supercar a wider, more aggressive stance and enhanced aerodynamics for excellent on-track performance. A revised front fascia, a large fixed rear wing, and carbon fiber vents visually set the car apart from the standard Maserati MC20.
Fuoriserie, Maserati’s bespoke department, will provide exclusive content and specific, eyecatching configurations for the new Maserati GT2 Stradale. In addition, customers seeking even more outstanding performance from the street-legal race car will be o ered packages dedicated to improving said performance, including Michelin semi-slick tires, carbon ceramic brakes, four-point seatbelts, and more.
Unveiled in a Fuoriserie color, Digital Aurora Matte, a blue with hints of red and magenta mica, the Maserati GT2 Stradale is available in a range of seven Fuoriserie colors and four standard colors. The interior combines the racing focus of the car with the luxury of the MC20, with carbon fiber seen throughout, as well as Alcantara upholstery for a luxurious yet motorsport-inspired feel. The seats were designed in collaboration with Sabelt to combine comfort and racing prowess, and the steering wheel features shift lights and a race-ready shape. Yellow accents can be found throughout the cabin, providing an edgy visual interest. Maserati also included creature

comforts in the GT2 Stradale, like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a Sonus faber sound system, a WiFi hotspot, and more.
Maserati says that the new GT2 Stradale was created for Maserati enthusiasts to experience the thrill, dynamics, and incredible performance of its premier GT2 race car while enjoying the supercar’s excellence on the greatest driving roads in the world. For an enthusiast who wants a vehicle that combines Italian style and luxury with the thrill and driver-focused characteristics of a true race car, Maserati has the answer to their wish in the GT2 Stradale. The new MC20-based supercar shows that Maserati’s new era is one to be remembered and that its anticipated return to GT racing has expanded beyond the track to include a new racing-focused but roadgoing supercar.

A NEW V12 FLAGSHIP
We flew to Q New York, the carmaker’s flagship US showroom to get a sneak preview of an upcoming model ahead of its release.
WORDS : Gabriel Vega Cortés
For years, it was unclear whether the Aston Martin Vanquish would return. The Vision Concept unveiled in 2019 envisioned it evolving into a mid-engined supercar. However, flash past a global pandemic and a major shakeup of the company’s ownership, we’re left with something entirely di erent. True to its heritage, the new Vanquish debuts as a big, rear-wheel drive grand tourer powered by a new V12.
Aston Martin’s Senior Manager of Vehicle Engineering, James Owen, walked us through what’ll dominate the conversation surrounding this car: its new 5.2-liter twinturbocharged V12. It can trace its roots to the twelve-cylinder unit that powered the outgoing DBS. “If we look at the old engine, which was first introduced in DB11 and then ran out on the DBS 770, to gain the extra power and torque, we’ve had to completely overhaul everything. So it really is a new engine. It’s simply unrecognizable.”
This extensive reworking results in a monstrous 824-horsepower and 738-pound-feet of torque output, achieved without any electrification. To capitalize on it, the Vanquish incorporates a new Boost Reserve feature, which, according to Owen, “works by e ectively over-boosting the turbos, so demanding more from them, holding the pressure
Although the Aston Martin Vanquish won’t technically be limited to a specific number of units, the carmaker aims to produce less than 1,000 of them yearly.
behind the throttle blade and then giving back when it’s demanded by the driver.” He added, “This isn’t about creating a big number in terms of power and torque. It’s about giving the driver the experience, the feedback as well.”
A ZF-sourced eight-speed automatic transmission routes power to the rear wheels, which, for the first time in a V12 Aston, is put down by an electronic locking rear di erential. The result is a car with a dry weight of 3,911 pounds that can sprint to 60 mph in 3.2 seconds while continuing to a 214 mph top speed.
Beyond its stats, however, and as we have seen with the rest of the carmaker’s lineup, plenty of work went into ensuring that the Aston Martin Vanquish wouldn’t just be quick but genuinely fun to drive.
These e orts begin with its structure. It incorporates a bonded aluminum body with double wishbones up front and a multi-link setup in the rear. However, it’s longer by 3.2 inches, with the extra length gained between the front axle and its A-pillar. Thanks to new underbody sti ening and a firmer engine cross brace, its lateral sti ness increases by 75 percent over the DBS. This creates increased mounting sti ness for its adaptive Bilstein DTX Dampers, first seen in the DB12.

“We’ve utilized that same technology because it gives us such a breadth of tuning capability. Compared to DBS technologies, it’s around about 500 percent bigger bandwidth of capability in those dampers, and that allows us to really position the car exactly how we want, particularly through the di erent modes as well.
Owen concluded the walkaround with some insight into his team’s philosophy. “We don’t expect these cars to be in a showroom. We expect them to be driven, and we expect them to be capable when they are driven.
There’s nothing like a little electrical stimulation, and the all-electric Taycan delivers. From the 20” Taycan Sport Aero Wheels with brake calipers in High Gloss Black to its heated multifunction steering wheel, it’s Porsche Exhilaration, electrified.

IT STARTS WITH A WISH
During this year’s The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering, Porsche did something unexpected.
WORDS : Gabriel Vega Cortés
RRather than debut one of many highly-anticipated new models, the German carmaker unveiled a car of which just one example exists. As the cover fell and the crown began to snap photos, a 993-generation Porsche 911 Speedster emerged. A one-o built by its Sonderwunsch program, colloquially known simply as “Special Wishes.”
The reborn classic wasn’t alone, either. A few miles away, prominently displayed at the carmaker’s temporary downtown Monterey HQ, sat yet another unique creation. Commissioned by US collector Jorge Carnicero, it’s a 992-generation 911 S/T adorned with countless Sonderwunsch touches and finished in a distinctive shade of Dani Blue.
We sat with Porsche’s Vice President of Individualisation and Classic, Alexander Fabig, and Philipp Setter, Manager of Sonderwunsch Customer Consulting, to discuss the brand’s increasing focus on highly individualized cars and one-o commissions.
“The customer is very well-known because he’s done quite a few projects with us, and for the S/T, he wanted to go big,” said Setter. Adding, “Maybe you’re familiar with his former cars, they were green, but he always said ‘green is not my favorite color. I like the green concept, but for this car, I’m the blue guy,’ so he wanted to go with something more intense in the blue direction and make it a true masterpiece.”
To commission a car through the Sonderwunsch program, customers in the US market must first express interest through their local dealer after placing an order for a new car. A US-based team of specialists will review incoming requests forwarded by dealerships. An appointment is then set with the customer to discuss their vision.
Setter says, “Usually, how we work is we bring in the customer. Of course, we have a lot of samples and materials to work and start with, and in this particular case, that was just not enough. When it came to the outside color, we started with one as a starting point, but he still wanted something even more special. For the first time, we included someone from the design team in Weissach, our Colour & Trim designer Daniela Milošević.”
Milošević worked directly with Carnicero to create a unique shade, starting with Enamel Blue as its base. Milošević said the color became “a little more colorful, more intense and darker, but not too loud.” As a show of appreciation for her role in the project, Carnicero named the finish “Dani Blue,” a tribute to its designer.
Inside, its cabin sports a Graphite Blue leather base with a contrasting tri-colored pepita pattern incorporating Graphite Blue, Chalk, and Blue fabric. Practically every surface, including its air vents, is covered in leather. Alongside the long list of special requests, this S/T features a one-o embossed logo in its center console and a signature reading “Dani,” a further nod to Milošević’s involvement. The result is the most individualized S/T built, and although Porsche won’t publicly state its cost, likely the most expensive as well.
Speaking more broadly about the Special Wishes program, Fabig commented, “On all levels, be it paint to sample, be it Sonderwunsch, our biggest challenge at the moment is that there is more demand than supply.” He added, “The waiting time for the new cars we measure in months. The waiting time for one-o s has to be measured in years.
Determining which customers will receive limited edition cars is up to the dealerships to decide. And while a long-standing relationship with the brand certainly helps, Fabig says, “From our point of view, there is no clear objective ranking you can make. You can argue it’s the loyal customers who go first, but then it’s also important for us
to welcome new customers who are new to the brand. It would be wrong to say, ‘Well, Sonderwunsch is only for people who have spent 20 years with the brand.’”
Setter said, “The demand has been growing over the last few years. It’s amazing how much more focus is on the world of individualization.” Porsche plans to expand its capacity to accept highly customized new cars and one-o s to meet this surging interest. Setter added, “The customers asked for it, but we also figured this is important for the brand. We have to expand to some extent. I think we still won’t be able to manage all of the demand, but at least we are getting better.”
The allure of commissioning a one-o vehicle goes beyond the car itself, with Setter commenting, “What we want to do with this one-o program is create something unique to the customer. Something that’s never been there and make it a new part of the history. When a customer or project is completed, such as the Speedster, we have all the documentation our Porsche archives. So it’s basically a new car registered under Porsche as a 911 Speedster, and it becomes part of history.”
Fabig added, “What started with individualizing dorsal guards and became complete projects like the 911 S/T with di erent materials, specific colors, and so on grew even bigger. And we had a lot of discussions with customers who were asking for complete technical concepts, body styles, and other aspects like the lights we see on the car or drivetrain compomnents. So it follows the desire of individualization, which we also see as a trend beyond automotive.”
As of writing, Porsche is currently working on five other one-o projects, with Fabig stating that these vehicles currently under development have a higher degree of technical complexity.According to Fabig, “You can choose di erent starting points. You can start with a 911, but you can use a 918 Spyder or a Carrera GT, which makes things a lot more complex. There is a certain dominance of the 911, as it is our brand icon, but we also have everything on the list, from Panamera to Cayenne.”
Today, Porsche can handle up to three of these special projects per year. However, the brand aims to expand its capacity to build at least ten, eventually capping production numbers.
Regarding pricing for one-o s, the owner of the 911 Speedster asked that its cost not be shared publicly. However, Fabig commented, “For the first 12 months, we ask for a minimum of $100,000. It could be more depending on the complexity. You don’t get the car for this money; you get documentation of what would be your car, and if you start building, then there would be a cost involved as a result of the development phase, and we can tell you it’s in the seven-figure area. Sometimes substantially above seven figures.”
Given the carmaker’s focus on expanding its Sonderwunsch program, as seen by its recent unveilings during Monterey Car Week, it’s clear that Porsche is invested in growing the brand by focusing on more than just its new models. Be it highly individualized commissions like the Dani Blue S/T or the one-off Speedster, the Special Wishes team is only getting started.
“ON ALL LEVELS, BE IT PAINT TO SAMPLE, BE IT SONDERWUNSCH, OUR BIGGEST CHALLENGE AT THE MOMENT IS THAT THERE IS MORE DEMAND THAN SUPPLY.” PORSCHE’S VICE PRESIDENT OF INDIVIDUALISATION AND CLASSIC, ALEXANDER FABIG

TIME FOR CHANGE
WORDS : Ed Jones
The mastermind behind Red Bull’s engineering prowess is set to join Aston Martin in 2025.
Whenever Red Bull’s dominance is brought up in conversation, Adrian Newey’s name is bound to be mentioned. Over the years, Newey’s name has been synonymous with cutting-edge advancements and innovations in the world of Formula 1, building a reputation as the sport’s most successful engineer. His journey towards the current point in his career started in the 1980s after he earned a degree in aeronautics from the University of Southhampton. After graduating, Newey would find himself working his way up through several engineering roles, including a stint at Fittipaldi Automotive and the March IndyCar Project.
In 1997, Newey’s career would take a turn when he joined McLaren after a few impressive years at Williams. With Newey’s help, McLaren would surge to the top of the grid through innovations like the MP4/13 design. This all helped McLaren and driver Mika Häkkinen take back-to-back World Championships in 1998 and 1999. Newey’s technical genius revolutionized car design at McLaren and set a benchmark for engineers to try and attain. His ability to find aerodynamic advantages gave the team an edge over the competitors and ultimately allowed McLaren’s car to win races. Formula 1 fans and executives looking to take their team to the next level certainly noticed Newey’s engineering prowess. Red Bull Racing decided his knowledge and ability were needed and hired him away from McLaren. While he couldn’t do much with the car during
ADRIAN NEWEY’S NEW ROLE WILL BE ASTON MARTIN’S MANAGING TECHNICAL PARTNER, STARTING ON MARCH 1, 2025.
his initial year, he began work on designing cars of his own. It wasn’t until 2009 that his presence on the team could truly be felt. His designs for the RB5 and RB6 in 2009 and 2010 were revolutionary for Red Bull, incorporating advanced aerodynamic principles that gave the cars unmatched downforce and handling.
Under Newey’s leadership, Red Bull would secure its first Constructor’s Championship in 2010, with Sebastian Vettel becoming the youngest World Champion in F1 history. After this year, Red Bull would continue to dominate, with Red Bull and Vettel winning four consecutive Constructor’s and Drivers’ championships. After years of success, Newey would find himself stepping back from his dayto-day role with the team and would instead be given a broader role with Red Bull. This move allowed him to explore other projects and ventures, like the Aston Martin Valkyrie hypercar.
Now, in 2024, after years of Max Verstappenled victories and Championship wins, it has been announced that Adrian Newey has signed a long-term contract to join Aston Martin Racing. His new role will be Managing Technical Partner, starting on March 1, 2025. This means he will have a short amount of time to influence the car that Aston Martin will be racing in 2026 under the new regulations. Still, Newey has proven that no matter the time given, he can still have a massive impact on a motorsport team, and his tenure at Aston Martin will be no di erent from his past employments.
