The Maserati Project GT4 Is The Race Car You Didn’t Expect

Let's put a Maserati GranTurismo race car on our list of things we didn’t expect to see in 2026. The Italian automaker showed up to this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed with the Project GT4, a new vehicle from its Maserati Corse division. The Project GT4 is set to hit the racetrack in the GT category starting in 2028.

Maserati may be known as a luxury brand in the modern era, but the company has a deep motorsport heritage dating back to the 1920s. The Trident has been represented in the Targa Florio, 24 Hours of Le Mans, Mille Miglia, Indianapolis 500, Formula E, and even Formula 1. Most recently, the Maserati GT2 race car, based on the MC20 street car, has been competing in the European GT2 Series since 2023.
