Edo Maserati MC12 Corsa
If you've got Krugerrands enough to give King Midas a case of the wobblies, and you want a GT1 racecar to take shopping, call Edo Competition. Never one to shrink from a high-buck project, Edo created a tuner version of the Maserati MC12 Corsa. That's the $1.7 million, track-only version of Maserati's Enzo-based halo…
Edo Competition's Maserati MC12 at Hockenheimring
Edo Competition's juiced Maserati MC12 is about as close to a street-legal Le Mans car you can get for less than an oil tanker filled with Krugerrands (or is that more?). Actually, Edo's tuner proves what can be done when money is no object, which is to say a race-ready weekend sports car that's impractical for…
Bologna Show: Maserati MC12 Corse Debuts

We're Gonna Go Be a Sheik Now: Inside Hamad bin Hamdan's Garage
Dude, being a sheik kinda seems as if it's the business. Harems, all the oil one can slather upon oneself, warm weather, clothes that never go out of style, hanging with T.E. Lawrence, and oh, most importantly, a whole shiek-sized garageload of exotic iron. Or, in Sheik Hamad bin Hamdan of Abu Dhabi's case, aluminum…

The Maserati MC12 Corsa in a Parking Garage — in Monaco
One of the Gawkerettes, much to our considerable and unrelenting jealousy, spent Sunday in Monaco checking out the Grand Prix (go, go Alonso) from a yacht in the Mediterranean. While there, she (by the grace of Bill the parking attendant) captured a shot of the just-revealed Maserati MC12 Corsa — the track-only,…
Let the Maserati Owners Have Some: The MC12 Corsa
Loyal Maserati owners stood by and watched as loyal (and super-rich) Ferrari customers ponied up their Amex Centurion cards for one of a few special Enzo Fxx models. Considering the Maserati MC12 is based on the Enzo, it'd seem logical that the Prancing Horse's bretheren would get a similar limited-edition…

How Does the Maserati MC12 Compare to Its Cousin Enzo?
Motor Trend has an extensive profile on Maserati's MC12 supercar, with an eye toward the similarities and differences between the Maserati and the Ferrari Enzo, with which the MC12 shares mechanicals.
