Maserati MC12 Corsa

The Maserati MC12 Corsa is a two-seat car that Maserati built from 2006 to 2007, developed from the MC12 GT1 that won the FIA GT Championship in 2005. It was made for private customers to use only on the track, and although derived from a racing car it is not approved for competition or for road use. The company developed it in mid-2006 in answer to customers who wanted the racing version of the MC12 for track days, where Maserati looked after the cars. Its mid-rear longitudinal engine is a version of the Ferrari F140 V12 with a 65 degree angle and 5,998 cc, without the intake restrictors required by the FIA GT rules, so it gives 755 CV (555 kW) at 8,000 rpm, 125 CV more than the road engine. It has a six-speed Cambiocorsa semi-automatic gearbox, steel and carbon racing brakes without ABS, a weight of 1,150 kg and a top speed of 330 km/h. It sold for about a million euros, and only 12 were made for customers plus three for testing and publicity.
