Maserati will build only 12 new monster cars in total, each with a price tag of a million Euros ($1,275,000), plus tax. The automaker says the car is aimed at a select number of clients “who will enjoy the possibility to test their driving capability in the most exclusive gentlemen drivers’ environment” ??? that is, for exclusive use during private track sessions or at Maserati exhibitions.
The Ferrari Enzo-based MC12 Corsa has another key difference from the Veyron, and that’s engine output. Where the Bugatti’s turbocharged W16 engine makes a ridiculous 1001 horsepower, the 6.0-liter V12 in the Maserati delivers a modest 755 hp through a Cambiocorsa gearbox. The two-place MC12 Corsa features a carbon-fiber monocoque and weighs a mere 2,535 pounds. It rides on 18-inch wheels and tires, and is fitted with Brembo racing brakes.
