MC12 Corsa for a Select Number of Enthusiast Drivers There are a lot of ways you can spend your Sundays. Some relax by the kitchen table filling in crosswords sipping a cup of organic decaf before heading out to the garden, while others pack up the kids and head out to lay siege on rows and rows of suburbia box stores to cash in on all the "savings". Hey, some even go to church! Others, however, find solace in the church of sport. Whether taking part or watching on the tube, ball and stick games are always on the schedule and motorsport is more popular than ever. But be honest, when it comes to the latter, wouldnt you rather drive the car than just watch them go round and round? Maserati has the answer: race | | Theres watching sports and then theres participating. (Photo: Maserati) | car of your own!
The storied Italian marque, best known in motorsport circles for its glorious Typo 151s and Birdcages, some piloted by the man many consider the greatest driver of all time, Juan Manuel Fangio, is preparing an even more enticing version of its sensational MC12, in the spirit of ex-parent Ferraris FXX variant of the Enzo, introduced last year.
This ultra-exotic track-only car features a 755-horsepower version of the MC12s Ferrari-derived V12, integrated into a 2,535 pound carbon-composite chassis. | | A racing car of your own? Too bad all twelve of Maseratis MC12 Corsas are already completely sold out. (Photo: Maserati)? |
Dubbed the MC12 Corsa, the car will be built-to-order for what Maserati calls (and say it with an Italian accent to get the full flavor) "a very selected number of Maserati clients who will enjoy the possibility to test their driving capability in the most exclusive gentlemen drivers environment."
