They say, in the world of racing, you're either a Maserati or you're not.
And they're not wrong. No other car gets grabs as many eyeballs on the track as a Maserati. Nor does any other brand garner as much attention for their launches as this one.
That's exactly what happened when Maserati brought the GT2 Stradale to the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi. Everyone who is anyone from the world of motorsport was there to witness the overseas debut of the road-legal evolution of the GT2 race car. Fans of racing would remember it from the Fanatec GT2 European Series Championship 2024, where the car secured 16 pole positions, 12 victories, seven second-place finishes, and five third-place finishes, ultimately winning both the drivers' and teams’ titles in the Am class.

Since it's limited to just 914 units (paying a tribute to the brand's founding year), the racing car happens to also be a collector's item, along with being a motorsport powerhouse.
And at the Yas Marina Circuit, a professional driver took various adrenaline-pumping hot laps, powered by its 640 CV Nettuno V6 engine, much to the delight of those in attendance over the course of the two-day track event.

Iconic is as iconic does, after all.
