Maserati announced its upcoming track-focused hypercar, currently named 'Project24.' This hypercar boasts a lightweight carbon fiber body comprised of very few additional materials, such as polycarbonates. As a result of this, the Project24 weighs approximately 1,250kg, or only 2755 pounds. This means the ultra-light vehicle will achieve incredibly fast speeds when its acutely aerodynamic frame is also factored into play.
In terms of its concrete performance, the Project24 features a V6 Nettuno engine with turbochargers, resulting in a powerful 740 horsepower at the wheels. In addition to this, the Project24 includes track-ready Brembo brakes as well as racing-focused tires, calipers, and more.
Maserati will only produce 62 units of the Project24 hypercar when it releases in 2023.

What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Carbon Fiber Commoditization
- Opportunity for companies to invest in cost-effective production of carbon fiber and polycarbonates for lighter and faster hypercars.
- Hypercar Limited Editions
- Growth of exclusive hypercar limited editions, with a focus on lightweight materials and high-performance features for discerning customers.
- Electric Hypercars
- Rise of all-electric hypercars, where lightweight materials and aerodynamic design are critical to maximizing range and speed.
Sectors Adopting This
- Automotive Manufacturing
- Opportunity for automakers to invest in lightweight materials and other features for high-performance track-focused hypercars.
- Materials Science
- Growing demand for more cost-effective and sustainable ways to produce carbon fiber and polycarbonates to meet the demands of the hypercar industry.
- Luxury Goods
- Opportunity for high-end luxury companies to cater to supercar enthusiasts through the production of ultra-exclusive hypercars and accessories.
