Mastretta is not done working yet. It plans to introduce an even more powerful model called the MXR later in the year that will only be legal for track use. 

The MXT-R gets the body from this forthcoming racecar that includes a front splitter and larger rear wing. 

Other than the engine and body kit, the MXT-R is identical to the standard MXT in terms of suspension, brakes and interior. 

Mastretta is taking reservations for the MXT-R now, but it has not announced a price or precise performance figures for the new model.
