The Maserati MC12 marked one of the great modern resurgences in motoring history. Conceived to re-establish Maserati at the pinnacle of both road and racing performance, it shared its core architecture and 6.0-litre V12 engine with the Ferrari Enzo, yet was entirely its own creation — longer, wider and more aerodynamically sculpted, with carbon fibre coachwork penned by Frank Stephenson and a removable targa-style roof panel that made the experience even more immersive.

Just fifty road-going examples were produced for the global market, the MC12 was the homologation model for Maserati’s FIA GT programme. Its competition derivative went on to dominate the championship, winning multiple Constructors’, Drivers’ and Teams’ titles between 2005 and 2010, achievements that firmly established it as one of the most successful GT racing cars of its era.

This particular example was delivered new through Carrs of Exeter to a highly respected UK collector and benefits from just 5,900 kilometres and two owners from new, the second acquiring it in 2007. The car also remains UK-registered and boasts a full matching number status.

Fresh from a major service at the world-renowned Autofficina Bonini Carlo S.r.l. in Italy, it presents in truly exceptional condition throughout, its appearance and finish virtually indistinguishable from new. Accompanied by its spare keys, original handbooks including the service and warranty supplement plus a dedicated history file that has its original Certificate of Conformity included within.
