Supercars of all time (IX): Maserati MC12 0

Posted on April 27, 2011 by Justin Ridge

Maserati MC12Maserati makes fantastic cars, but the vast majority with a touch complacent and bourgeois obviously necessitated the emergence of a beast to take out the wildest of the Italian brand, and that car is the MC12.

With a superb base

To make a good car is a must have a solid base, either new or existing. The MC12 is the Ferrari Enzo as a chassis is concerned, something that gives a large percentage of the success of this car at the time marked in different circuits.

No less important is the six-liter engine and twelve-cylinder engine that develops 632 horsepower, achieving a maximum speed up short for the type of car it is: 330 km / h.

Many buts

At least in Top Gear, the Maserati MC12 was superior to the Ferrari Enzo in spite of having a lower top speed, although the difference was clearly a negligible 0.1 second.

So, it’s fast … but something is wrong. Is a car that was manufactured to compete with him for approval, “not a car which has competed after being manufactured, and that brings some problems: lack of rear window, no luggage, limited interior comfort a little too sharp reactions.

Sibling

I have not even remotely more than half a million euros it costs, but if I did I tell you something: I do not buy the MC12 before the Enzo, you lose too much to gain 0.1 seconds in one lap.
