This Heavily Modified Maserati MC12 Has A Heroic 50,000 Miles On The Clock

With just 50 Maserati MC12s ever built, it’s a fair bet that most have spent the 10 or so years since they were built locked up in a garage somewhere. But don’t worry, we have found one that isn’t a garage queen. Far from it.

This one’s up for sale in Canada via Hemmings, and it has, wait for it - 81,000 kilometres on the clock, or 50,000 miles. Crikey.

Not only that, but it’s modified too: the 6.0-litre V12 has been bored and stroked to 6.3 litres, and it’s packing forged pistons, custom camshafts, a plethora of titanium titanium bits and much more besides. It now kicks out a monstrous 840bhp, and revs to 9300rpm.

The more eagled-eyed among you will have spotted that the body isn’t quite standard either. It’s been festooned with carbonfibre aero pieces, while the aggressive widebody setup is made from MC12 Corsa racing car templates.

Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

I wonder how much fuel it needed to cover that mileage

I wonder how many pairs of underpants the driver went through to cover that mileage.

When your daily broke down and you only got a race car in the garage

When your race car broke down, but you have a daily in your garage

When your daily is Lada, the sports car is Alfa and this is the only not broken…

If you ask me, this is one of the ugliest cars in a long time. Up there with the Multipla..

Sure, probably is fast and expensive. But why was it drawn by a blind person?

I think it looks quite good.

I like it

It isnt ugly

I;m with you on that

lol, 9 butthurt people downvoted

Through some time I got used to it. It’s not ugly, just odd.

Actual photo of the rear.

the orange colour looks nice

I’m just one of those crazy guys that doesn’t think expensive = good looks. I always look past the label or the price.

This car looks liked a beefy Lotus Exige

You’re getting confused :P

Please tell me they call it Nemo!? It has to have a name surely!

It does have a name. And don’t call me Shirley.

Oposite of garage queen - Road King

I know this car, it belongs to the owner of a shop called ZR auto in calgary, they tune and do cosmetic work on exotic cars, owner of the place once crashed his enzo fxx in a river too.
