Maserati Delivers an MCXtrema to Modena — A New Jewel Joins One of the World’s Most Prestigious Car Collections
The beating heart of Maserati, the Viale Ciro Menotti plant in Modena, once again became the stage for a historic moment. Within its sacred walls, where the Trident’s legacy has thrived for nearly 90 years, a new chapter unfolded — the delivery of an extraordinary Maserati MCXtrema to one of the world’s most exclusive car collectors.
The car was handed over to Jacques Sicotte, a nuclear engineer and entrepreneur from southern France, whose private collection of over 60 rare vehicles already includes the legendary Maserati MC12. For Sicotte, the new MCXtrema was not just another acquisition — it was an evolution of his passion, a successor worthy of standing alongside the icons of his personal automotive museum.
A Tribute to Maserati Heritage
The delivery event took place at Maserati’s historic Modena headquarters, a location that has witnessed countless innovations and the birth of some of the world’s most iconic supercars. Seeing the MCXtrema unveiled in such a setting was symbolic — a tribute to the Trident’s DNA, its Italian spirit, and its relentless pursuit of perfection.
Sicotte’s bespoke MCXtrema features a two-tone matte blue and pearl white livery, highlighted by a striking Trident motif on the bonnet — a clear nod to Maserati’s racing heritage. The number “77,” Sicotte’s personal lucky number, adorns the doors, giving the car an unmistakably personal touch.
Inside, the cabin reflects the same dedication to craftsmanship. A deep blue theme dominates the minimalist racing cockpit, complemented by optional features such as the passenger seat kit, rearview camera, and advanced telemetry system. Every surface, every stitch, and every contour reflects the harmony between Italian design and racing functionality.
A Beast Born for the Track
The Maserati MCXtrema is not a road car — it’s a purebred track machine built for the few who crave the thrill of uncompromised performance. Limited to just 62 units worldwide, this hypercar channels the spirit of the MC12 while pushing engineering boundaries even further.
Under the sculpted bodywork lies the 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 Nettuno engine, delivering an astonishing 740 horsepower (540 kW). This makes it the most powerful track-focused Maserati ever created. Every component has been honed for precision — from its lightweight construction to its aerodynamic profile that’s optimized for maximum downforce on every corner of the circuit.
The MCXtrema’s development was backed by cutting-edge simulation technology: over 200 hours in the dynamic simulator and 1,000 hours of virtual analysis were dedicated to perfecting its handling, balance, and aerodynamics. Maserati’s Virtual Analysis and Powertrain Calibration teams worked relentlessly to transform raw power into usable, refined performance — the kind of driving experience that only true enthusiasts can appreciate.
The MCXperience: Beyond Ownership
Owning an MCXtrema is not just about possessing a hypercar — it’s about joining an elite circle. Maserati has launched an exclusive MCXperience program, offering a tailored suite of services designed for the 62 owners of this “Beast.”
Through MCXperience Concierge, owners can access private track days, expert driving sessions with Maserati Corse professionals, and dedicated after-sales support. Each MCXtrema also comes with a custom racing kit developed with Sparco, merging comfort, safety, and high-level performance — allowing owners to fully connect with the car’s pure racing DNA.
A Ceremony of Legacy
At the Modena plant, the moment became even more special when Andrea Bertolini, Maserati’s Chief Test Driver and four-time GT World Champion, personally handed the keys to Sicotte. Having overseen every stage of the MCXtrema’s development, Bertolini’s presence symbolized the continuity between Maserati’s past triumphs and its bold future.
As the engine roared to life, the sound of the Nettuno V6 echoed through Modena — a reminder that the Maserati spirit is alive and stronger than ever.
Final Thoughts
The Maserati MCXtrema is more than a hypercar — it’s a statement of engineering excellence, artistry, and pure passion. Hand-built in Modena and powered by Italian heritage, it stands as a symbol of how far Maserati has come, and how boldly it continues to move forward.
For collectors and enthusiasts in the UAE, the MCXtrema represents the pinnacle of exclusivity and performance — a glimpse into the essence of what makes Maserati one of the world’s most revered marques.
