maserati mc12 corsa

Isn't this the car that was at Geneva?

 

Yes, VIN #24052.

 

I dont think this is the new Maser . Looks more like the regular FIA GT car ..

 

If it is the new "Maserati FXX" it looks excellent! I like the idea of keeping it in the design spec of a campaigned racecar

 

Those are the pics that were issued with the press release about it, gotta assume it's right, at this point.

 

The front picture reminds me of a fish..

 

I was informed that my MC12 Corsa post in the "Showroom" forum was, in fact, a repost. So, I brought it over here for your viewing pleasure. The images are the same, but in higher resolution. Enjoy!

05/26/2006 - Modena

Maserati is pleased to announce the production of the MC12 Corsa, a supercar build-to-order for a select number of Maserati clients.

The MC12 Corsa has been developed from the MC12 GT1 type which won the 2005 FIA GT Manufacturers Cup, and will allow its owners to test their driving capability in the most exclusive gentlemen drivers’ environment. It will be used exclusively on track during private test sessions - or exhibition activities organised by Maserati. It will not be homologated for road use or for any racing activities.

The Maserati MC12 Corsa – living testimony of Maserati’s ability to individually tailor-make specially produced high-tech cars - will be on sale at the price of 1,000,000 Euros (plus tax) starting from next Autumn. Available in the official Maserati “Blue Victory” color, it can be personalized upon request with several optional items, starting from a different colour upon request by the client.

Total production of the Maserati MC12 Corsa will not exceed 12 units worldwide.

thats incredible..... really looks so much better than the fxx

 

I think that the front looks better on the Maserati, plus I love the color. But the FXX's back looks much better than the Corsa. Different styles.

 

I think this is a good photo op, and by that i mean photo chop. can someone with the talent (paging Michiel van den Brink!) photoshop a FXX tail on a MC12 Corsa front? could be interesting.

 

The FXX has nothing on this. At least styling wise. I think its beautiful!
