When it comes to out-and-out hypercars, what the Sunday Times calls the Noughties were a fine decade for the go-faster crowd among us petrolheads. At the top of the hypercar food chain there was the Ferrari Enzo (also called the F60), of which a mere 400 examples were produced from 2002 to 2004.
By comparison, the Maserati MC12, which was the Enzo's almost identical twin, spawned just 62 copies, making it a way more rarefied breed. 50 of the 62 hypercars from the House of the Trident were road-going MC12s, while the other 12 came in the guise of the hardcore Corsa variation we're covering today.
Officially dubbed the Versione Corse, one such highly desirable example is offered for sale by Ferrari-Maserati of Fort Lauderdale for a hefty $3 million, about a million dollars more than what a pristine condition Bugatti Veyron 16.4 is worth in this day and age.
Maserati MC12 Corsa chassis #002 is a 2005 model that's finished in Blue Victory, with an interior that's awash with Sparco bucket seats, carbon fiber everything and some blue accents here and there. Only one MC12 Corsa was reconfigured for being road-legal, but this one isn't it. Wanna have a guess how much these babies were going for when they were brand spanking new? $1.47 million. Yup, that much.
The original and the current stickers are not nearly impressive though, especially if you consider that the 745 horespower V12 engine and the shortened nose are shared with the Maserati Corsa MC12 GT1 racecar. So how about it – if you had the money and you wanted a track-only machine, would the MC12 Corsa be it?
