- A one-off example of the Maserati GT2 race car has also been unveiled.
Maserati’s GT2 Stradale, a road-legal beast inspired by the GT2 race car, is already the most striking car the Italian brand builds. It has now unveiled a special livery for it, inspired by the Maserati 250F, which won two Formula 1 titles in 1954 and 1957.
The livery was unveiled over the weekend at the first round of the GT2 European Series at the Monza circuit in Italy. In addition to adorning the road-going GT2 Stradale, a one-off Maserati GT2 race car has also been finished in the striking color combination.

Up front, the livery includes a bright yellow strip running between the headlights, while most of the rest of the body is finished in red. Maserati has also added a yellow Trident emblem to the front grille, as well as yellow Tridents just behind the side windows. Additionally, the badge at the back of the GT2 Stradale is finished in yellow.
Inspired By An Icon
Juan Manuel Fangio helped the Maserati 250F become motorsport royalty. In addition to the car winning two F1 titles with Fangio behind the wheel, the Argentine racing driver won races in Belgium, Monaco, France, and Argentina. Sir Stirling Moss also drove the 250F to victory in Italy and Monaco in 1956, and in 1958, it was the car that Maria Teresa de Filippis drove to become the first woman to qualify for a Formula 1 Grand Prix.
The livery of the 250F has been faithfully recreated with the GT2 Stradale. Like the 250F, the GT2 Stradale also includes a large number ‘1’ finished in white on the passenger-side front quarter panel.
While Maserati notes that this special livery will be available for custom-spec GT2 Stradale models, it hasn’t mentioned whether it’ll restrict the livery to a certain number of units or how much it will cost. Regardless, it’s one epic way to make your road-going supercar stand out.
