Maserati plans return to GT4 motorsport for 2028
The Italian sports car manufacturer Maserati has announced major plans for its future in international motorsport. Starting from the 2028 season, the company intends to return to global GT4 racing with a new race car. This news is attracting significant attention in the automotive world, particularly among fans of fast cars and exciting competitions.
The new model for the racetrack will be based on the current Maserati GranTurismo. Engineers from Maserati Corse, the brand's dedicated racing department, are already working on the development of the vehicle. The goal is to build a car that is technically modern and competitive on the track, in order to compete against other major brands such as Porsche, BMW, or Mercedes.
The GT4 class is an important category in international motorsport. It is considered an attractive class for professional teams and ambitious private drivers, as costs are more moderate compared to higher classes like GT3. In Germany, too, there are many popular racing series in which GT4 vehicles play a central role, making Maserati's comeback particularly interesting for German motorsport fans.
For Maserati, this step is an essential part of its current brand strategy. The company wants to revive its long and successful tradition in racing. After a lengthy hiatus from the GT4 sector, the year 2028 is intended to mark a new beginning and demonstrate that the brand's vehicles can also excel under extreme conditions on the racetrack.
While there is still some time until the first official start in 2028, preparations behind the scenes are already in full swing. Motorsport enthusiasts in Germany and worldwide can look forward to seeing Maserati's famous trident logo back in direct competition on the world's major racetracks soon.
