Much attention has been paid to developing the right aerodynamic load balance - the lower part of the car is designed for exemplary synergy with the front splitter and adjustable rear spoiler. Quick-disassembly body panels allow quick replacement of components, and the chassis features high torsional and flexural rigidity.
The power steering is fully electric. All suspension components are race-specific, with adjustable dampers and adjustable anti-roll bars front and rear. The same applies to electronics. A six-speed sequential racing transmission, paddle shifters and an electric rotary selector make for an adrenaline-pumping experience.

“The first few days are always special, especially for me, because I was lucky enough to lead Maserati to success in the GT1 World Championship, where I won four titles. Now we are back on track with another great car. We have had many test runs and the initial feedback is positive.”
“It's very exciting to be back in the GT car and you can see that everyone is interested and enthusiastic. We are focused on developing a product that not only stands out from the competition, but is also the ideal vehicle for our gentleman drivers in terms of handling, comfort and performance. We want each of them to have a unique experience in this car.”
“In recent months, thanks to the commitment of our fantastic team, we have been working intensively on the simulator. I would like to thank them all! But the best part is that now everything is materializing - and in the best possible way. We have a series of intense tests ahead of us that will prepare us for a return to the track.”
