2023 Maserati MCXtrema

The Maserati MCXtrema is the physical track-car programme first announced as Project24. The two names belong to one development story and one stated sixty-two-car allocation.

History and verified programme identity

Maserati’s 2023 reveal expressly connects MCXtrema with the earlier Project24 code name. The spreadsheet contains both the 2022 announcement and the 2023 vehicle, so they are consolidated into this profile instead of creating duplicate uploads. The original announcement year remains in the evidence while the title uses the physical reveal year. The manufacturer describes a sixty-two-car worldwide programme. That allocation is not treated as an independently reconciled tally of finished deliveries. The supplied real photo shows a later MCXtrema at London Concours, rather than illustrating the physical car with a 2022 proposal render.

Engineering and design

The manufacturer describes a track-focused car without type approval for road use and publishes a 730 hp reference. Its aggressive front treatment and prominent rear wing support the visible track purpose, while exact delivered mechanical configuration requires the individual technical record. MCXtrema should not inherit every road MC20 feature simply because the programmes share development ancestry. The driver-oriented track package also differs from an FIA-homologated race car with a particular championship specification. A display photograph does not establish an actual race result. Record factory purpose, subsequent demonstrations and any technical changes as separate dated information. The published specification describes the programme or the explicitly named configuration. An individual car can receive revised parts during use or restoration. Keep those changes dated when comparing it with other Maseratis, so current hardware does not silently rewrite the original engineering record. Weight and output figures also require their printed measurement convention and market context rather than being treated as measurements of the pictured vehicle.

The physical car in the supplied photograph

MrWalkr photographed this source-identified 2024 MCXtrema at London Concours in June 2025. The real track-car body illustrates the 2023 physical programme, not a second Project24 vehicle.

How to identify and compare the programme

Keep Project24 and MCXtrema together in the chassis research file and duplicate aliases. The earlier design announcement and later physical reveal are stages of one programme, not two separately allocated sixty-two-car runs. Original delivery and technical documents can establish a particular customer car’s configuration. The photograph gives a later illustrated appearance, while the manufacturer establishes purpose and announced scope. Do not derive road legality or competition eligibility from visible equipment alone. This also keeps comparisons with MC12 Versione Corse useful: both are private track programmes, but they have separate chassis identities, engineering periods and allocation structures.

Collecting and chassis evidence

An individual MCXtrema record starts with its original chassis identity, delivery specification and dated documents. Preserve the engine and body references separately where the car was coachbuilt or changed during competition. Original correspondence, build sheets and early photographs can establish details that a modern exterior cannot show. Record replacement panels, engine changes and restoration work chronologically. A present appearance may differ from the original specification without representing a second manufactured vehicle. For a numbered edition, retain its plate and allocation paperwork alongside the chassis file. Historical names and race numbers are useful search references, but they are not substitutes for permanent identity or a reconciled production register.

Related Maserati designs and meaningful comparisons

The MCXtrema belongs to Project24 / MCXtrema track programme. Compare it with the two linked profiles to follow how Maserati changed its engineering or its presentation. Their original model identities remain separate, even when a coachbuilder, engine family or anniversary theme connects them. Shared ancestry does not merge their manufactured quantities or make their photographs interchangeable.

Reading the sources

The programme sources and the photograph answer different questions. Manufacturer and custodial records establish the original model, Type, category and published production scope. The creator’s file establishes the pictured subject, setting and image permission. An individual chassis history can then add ownership, competition entries and dated repairs without changing the scope of the original programme. Build references are not survivor counts, and a later specification does not automatically become an additional newly manufactured vehicle. Where primary evidence does not establish a complete fabrication census, that field remains unassigned.

Specifications and rarity evidence

Frequently asked questions

What does the published rarity reference cover?

Project24 announced in 2022 became the physical MCXtrema revealed in 2023. Same 62-car programme; MAS-134 consolidated as alias. Announced worldwide limit not an independent completion census or road approval.

How is MCXtrema classified?

This is a named Maserati private track programme. Its original factory purpose is distinct from road approval and from a car homologated for a particular championship. Manufacturer allocation references remain separate from independently audited deliveries and later individual conversions.

Which technical details are established for the programme?

The primary record supports initial project announcement: Project24, 2022; physical reveal: MCXtrema, 2023; announced allocation: 62 worldwide. These are programme or explicitly attributed photo references. A particular surviving car’s engine, chassis repairs and competition preparation require its own dated documentation.

Does the photographed appearance establish factory originality?

The caption records a real creator-identified MCXtrema subject and its documented setting. It establishes the illustration’s scope, while original components, restoration work and individual race provenance require chassis-specific evidence. A competition number, current paint or museum display is not used as an originality certificate.

What rarity or archive scope is verified?

Project24 announced in 2022 became the physical MCXtrema revealed in 2023. Same 62-car programme; MAS-134 consolidated as alias. Announced worldwide limit not an independent completion census or road approval.
