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.

If I had the money, the time and the car, I’d do the same.
Sounds like I have nothing, lol.
Oh I’ve seen this car drive the track too! It sounds so monstrous at half throttle it’s absolutely brilliant. He took part in a program called “Racing For a Cure” where people pay money to have 2 laps in various track toys and supercars, and all the proceeds go to various cancer charities. Absolutely awesome cause, and an even better guy to put such an expensive car in it. He himself raised over $2000 that day. Just fantastic seeing this get the recognition it deserves
At least there’s a good supercar owner out there! That car is beastly tho from the sounds of it…
…a plethora of titanium titanium bits…
I reckon this is not quite right, Matt Robinson . :)
Just give it black stripes and this thing would be perfect for failrace….
Who was the owner of this that one day said: ‘my Enzo-engined Maserati is a bit too slow and i would like to stand out a bit more, I will tune the engine!’ ? :D
I’m broke though
Fun Fact: My dad worked on that car
I live in Canada and I have seen that car!!!
I’ve seen this car on their instagram a lot, surprised they’re letting it go
Titanium titanium bits lol
