Maserati reveals Eldorado-inspired liveries for GT2 and GT2 Stradale at TUTTO BENE Hillclimb 2026

Maserati revealed new commemorative liveries at the third edition of TUTTO BENE Hillclimb on Lake Maggiore, honoring 100 years of the Trident emblem. Inspired by the 1958 Maserati Eldorado, the liveries are available for both a one-of-a-kind GT2 race car and the GT2 Stradale super sports car, underscoring the connection between track and road. On display, a unique GT2 Stradale wearing the Eldorado livery sits alongside the restored original 1958 single-seater, part of the Collezione Maserati Umberto Panini in Modena.

The Eldorado liveries are the second act of a project celebrating two anniversaries: 100 years of the Maserati emblem and 100 years of the brand in motorsport. In 1926, the Tipo 26 became the first Maserati to carry the Trident logo and won its class at the Targa Florio with Alfieri Maserati. The first commemorative livery debuted last May at the Monza Circuit, inspired by the legendary 250F, which secured Juan Manuel Fangio two Formula 1 World Championship titles in 1954 and 1957, with memorable victories in Argentina, Belgium, Monaco, and France, and also carried Stirling Moss to wins in Monaco and Italy in 1956. The 250F was also the car that captured the heart of Maria Teresa de Filippis, the first woman to qualify for a Formula 1 Grand Prix in 1958.

The original Eldorado, chassis number 4203, was the first modern example of sponsorship in motorsport: Eldorado ice cream owner Gino Zanetti commissioned it, so the car was painted cream instead of Italian racing red. Engineer Giulio Alfieri created it in a few months, using a V8 engine derived from the 450S twin-cam models with displacement reduced to 4,190 cc and generating 410 hp at 8,000 rpm, a tubular chassis derived from the 250F, and handcrafted aluminum bodywork by Fantuzzi with an aerodynamic vertical fin; it weighed 758 kg. After the Monza crash the car suffered only limited damage and was later raced at Indianapolis.

Also at TUTTO BENE Hillclimb, the Maserati MC20 Cielo will take on the famous 9-kilometer ascent on the private Borromea road, winding through spectacular curves from the foothills to the summit of Mottarone. There will be no stopwatch and no race against the clock: the initiative's essence is captured in the slogan 'slow down to go fast,' an invitation to rediscover pure driving pleasure. The experience is further enhanced by the open-air super sports car and the unmistakable sound of the V6 Nettuno, a symbol of Maserati's enduring passion for racing.
