Maser follows Ferrari FXX
New MC12 Corsa offers exclusive track-only fun
Maserati MC12 Corsa
The car's 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."
A clear response to Ferrari's FXX programme, under which driver-clients become test drivers for Ferrari, the MC12 Corsa will only be used on track during private test sessions, or at exhibition activities organised by Maserati. It won't be homologated either for road use or racing.
The Maserati MC12 Corsa will be priced at €1 million (£685,210) plus tax starting in autumn 2006.
And for that price, you can expect that there'll be a few added options too, to make it even more exclusive. Wonder if Aston Martin will follow this path...

Not sure if the Aston Martin comment was in jest - but surely the DBRS9 is directly along this path? And only £175,000 plus options...

Except the DBRS9 is a GT3 spec car, so nowhere near as quick.
All this is, is an MC12 racer, with a different name. A bit of a lairy thing to sell to clients, if you ask me.
