Built as a Homologation Special for Racing – The Maserati MC12 was developed primarily for GT racing, with only 50 road-legal units produced to meet FIA GT1 homologation requirements.
Shares Its Platform with the Ferrari Enzo – The MC12 is based on the Ferrari Enzo, sharing its carbon-fiber monocoque, V12 engine, and gearbox, but with a unique body and tuning for better aerodynamics.
Larger Than the Enzo – The MC12 is longer and wider than the Ferrari Enzo, measuring 5.14 meters (202.4 inches) in length, making it one of the longest supercars ever built.
Powered by a Ferrari-Derived V12 Engine – The 6.0-liter naturally aspirated V12, sourced from Ferrari, produces 630 hp and 652 Nm of torque, allowing a top speed of 330 km/h (205 mph).
0-100 km/h in Just 3.8 Seconds – The MC12’s lightweight carbon fiber body and advanced aerodynamics allow it to accelerate from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 3.8 seconds.
No Rear Window for Ultimate Aerodynamics – Unlike most supercars, the MC12 has no rear window, improving structural rigidity and aerodynamics but requiring drivers to rely solely on side mirrors for visibility.
Dominated GT Racing – The MC12 GT1 race car won multiple FIA GT Championships, securing 14 titles and 40 race wins, making it one of the most successful GT1 race cars ever.
Limited Production – Only 50 Road Cars – Maserati originally planned to build 25 road cars, but later extended production to 50 units, making it one of the rarest supercars of its era.
One of the Most Expensive Maseratis Ever – At launch, the MC12 cost around $800,000, but due to its rarity and connection to Ferrari, values now exceed $3 million on the collector’s market.
Paved the Way for the Maserati MC20 – The MC12 was Maserati’s last true supercar until the MC20 debuted in 2020, bringing modern technology and a new twin-turbo V6 engine to the brand’s supercar lineup.

The MC12 is a legendary homologation special, born from the Ferrari Enzo's platform but rebodied for GT racing. Only 50 road-legal units exist (plus 12 "Corsa" track-only versions), making it one of the rarest modern hypercars.

⚠️ Red Flags
"Replica" Claims: No real MC12 has ever been cloned
Non-Factory Paint: Original livery is critical
(Fun Fact: The MC12 was banned from Le Mans for being "too fast" – so Maserati dominated FIA GT instead!)
Pro Tip: For serious buyers:
Verify via Maserati Classiche (€50k certification process)
Check FIA race logs (if ex-works car)
Budget €200k/year for maintenance
(Bonus: The MC12’s rear wing generates 800kg of downforce – more than a modern GT3 car!)
(Note: The Corsa model has no airbags or ABS – it’s a pure track weapon!)
