Enhanced Dynamics for the Maserati MC20 GT2 Stradale
The latest iteration of the Maserati MC20, the GT2 Stradale, boasts enhanced dynamics that make it a standout in the supercar world. The springs have been stiffened by around 10%, providing a more responsive and agile driving experience. However, the core dynamics hardware remains largely unchanged, with a focus on fine-tuning for optimal performance.
Like its predecessor, the GT2 Stradale comes equipped with a mechanical limited-slip differential as standard. For those seeking even more control, an electronically controlled differential is available as an optional upgrade.
Drivers can easily adjust the drive modes to customize their experience, from firming up the dampers to sharpening gearshifts and loosening driver aids. The most aggressive mode disables stability and traction control, optimizes the differential for maximum performance, and minimizes ABS intervention within legal limits.
Despite the slight increase in stiffness, the GT2 Stradale maintains the relaxed and comfortable ride quality of the original MC20. With excellent body control and a relatively light curb weight of around 1500kgs, the GT2 Stradale offers a dynamic and engaging driving experience.
On the track, the GT2 Stradale continues to impress with its balanced handling and responsive nature. It may not be as raw as some of its competitors, but it offers a more approachable and forgiving driving experience. The GT2 Stradale excels in absorbing bumps and maintaining stability through corners, rewarding smooth and precise inputs from the driver.
During steady-state cornering, a hint of understeer can be felt, providing a predictable and controllable driving feel. By modulating the throttle or utilizing trail braking techniques, drivers can optimize cornering performance and achieve a more planted front end.
Overall, the Maserati MC20 GT2 Stradale is a true delight on the track, offering a harmonious blend of performance and handling that is sure to satisfy even the most discerning drivers.
