Maserati has unveiled the Project GT4 ahead of the 2026 Goodwood Festival of Speed, with the aim of entering the GT4 category from 2028 onwards.
The Italian marque, which has returned to motor sport with programmes in GT2 and FIA Formula E in recent years, has based the Project GT4 on the new GranTurismo, with it set to be powered by a 3-litre V6 engine.
Maserati previously competed in GT4 in the 2000s with the GranSport-based Trofeo Light GT4, which holds the honour of being homologated as GT4-001.
Andrea Bertolini has acted as the lead test driver for the new car, which has been unveiled in a special livery celebrating 100 years of Maserati.
“Project GT4 represents a natural step in the evolution of the Maserati Corse programme and completes our vision for the future of GT racing,” said Vincent Biard, head of Maserati Corse.
“On the back of the experience gained with the Maserati GT2, this project was created with the aim of bringing all the technical, sporting and operational know-how developed in recent years to the GT4 category, while maintaining a strong bond with the new GranTurismo on which it is based.
“Our objective is clear: to develop a car that is competitive, reliable and accessible to the teams and drivers who choose Maserati. The development process has just begun, but we are already working to reach the 2028 season with a car that can compete at the highest level and aspire to success.
“In a year in which we celebrate 100 years of the Trident and 100 years of Maserati in competition, Project GT4 represents another piece in the jigsaw of our sports strategy and confirms the brand’s willingness to continue its investments in international motorsport”.
Maserati’s announcement continues a strong run of momentum for GT4, after Porsche revealed its new 911 GT4 R at last month’s 24 Hours of Spa.
