Maserati MC12 Versione Corse: Exclusive Supercar Emerges in Florida

Velocity Icon - For those who live and breathe speed, there’s something deeply thrilling about discovering a machine that goes beyond the standard definitions of supercars. Not just fast, but purpose-built for the raw essence of racing. These aren’t vehicles meant to blend in—they’re forged to stand apart. And once in a while, one of these rare legends surfaces again, like a ghost from the golden age of track-dominating performance. That’s exactly what happened when a very rare Maserati MC12 Versione Corse appeared in Florida, silently inviting admiration… and perhaps, the right buyer.

Originally released in 2006, the Maserati MC12 Versione Corse isn’t your everyday supercar. It’s not even your everyday Maserati. Built for those who saw the road as a mere suggestion and the racetrack as home, this machine was created for private enthusiasts who wanted a true racing experience without competing professionally. Maserati only made 12 of them. Twelve. That’s fewer than the months in a year. It was, and still is, a true collector’s dream.

The MC12 Versione Corse takes its DNA from champions. It was developed directly from the MC12 GT1, the very car that conquered the FIA GT Championship in 2005. Every curve, every bolt, every ounce of power in the Corse version is a tribute to that motorsport legacy. But don’t confuse this with just a track car stripped of comfort for performance—this specific unit, chassis number two, has never been modified, making it incredibly unique. In fact, it’s in such pristine condition that it can legally hit the highway, a rarity for vehicles of its class.

Clad in a striking deep blue finish, the car doesn’t just race—it commands attention. That iconic color alone makes it instantly recognizable, even before the engine roars to life. And what an engine it is. Borrowed from the Ferrari FXX, the heart of this beast is a 6.0-liter V12 monster pushing out a staggering 745 horsepower123 more than the standard MC12. It's an engine that doesn’t whisper performance, it screams it, and then backs it up with numbers.

From a standstill to 100 km/h takes just 3.8 seconds, which feels like time folding in on itself. Keep pressing the throttle, and the car won’t stop until it reaches 325 km/h. That’s more than just speed—it’s flight, minus the wings.

The MC12 Versione Corse is a product of rare synergy—Maserati’s deep-rooted racing heritage combined with Ferrari’s relentless pursuit of engineering excellence. Built on the Ferrari Enzo’s chassis, it offers the bones of one legend and the soul of another. There are no gimmicks, no modern infotainment distractions. Just pure, unfiltered driving.

When it made its way to Florida years ago, it was listed for a jaw-dropping $3 million, roughly Rp.38.7 billion at the time. But then again, how do you put a price on rarity, legacy, and performance fused into one? Especially now, nearly two decades later, when surviving examples are even harder to find and possibly more treasured. 
Spotting a Maserati MC12 Versione Corse today is like catching sight of a mythical creature. It reminds us that cars can be more than transportation—they can be art, history, and adrenaline all wrapped into one body of carbon and steel. And even though it first captured the world’s attention years ago, its story still resonates, perhaps now more than ever, with those who understand that some cars were never meant to be forgotten. *** [EKA [28052015] | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | MASERATI | BOLDRIDE | SUPERCARNOSTALGIA ]
