Fifty-five race wins were recorded by Maserati in its motorsport history. The brand with the trident achieved its last Formula 1 victory at the 1967 South African Grand Prix in Kyalami. 37 years have passed since then, and Maserati's once glorious racing history is long gone. The newly developed racing car, the MC 12, is intended to revive the brand's racing history in the FIA GT series. Maserati is making use of the help of its former main competitor Ferrari. Since 1997, Maserati has officially belonged to the Ferrari Group and now benefits from the technical developments of its colleagues from Maranello. With first successes: On September 19, 2004, the former Formula 1 driver Mika Salo and his Italian colleague Andrea Bertolini won the FIA GT race on the racing version of the MC 12 at Oschersleben. The technology of the Maserati MC 12 comes from Ferrari: chassis, suspension, engine and transmission are supplied by the super sportsman Enzo. If the differences under the sheet metal cladding are still marginal, the two differ significantly from each other visually. In length, the probably rounded flounder from Modena surpasses the angular variant from Maranello by no less than 44 centimeters. In terms of wheelbase, the MC 12 also measures a clear 15 centimeters more. In contrast to the angular Ferrari Enzo, the 5.14-meter-long Maserati flat body is characterized by soft proportions. Only the variously placed cooling air slots and openings, which serve to provide optimum cooling for the engine, brakes and sophisticated aerodynamics, interrupt the smooth surfaces of the bodywork. These body incisions give the body a pleasing lightness despite its stately dimensions. Pulling the folding handles of the carbon fiber doors reveals an undreamed-of luxury inside the 1.20-meter sports car: the interior, which is finished in blue leather, is adorned with additional carbon parts and high-quality fabric. Even automatic air conditioning and power windows are included in the standard scope of delivery, as is the typical oval clock in the center bar. There, on the transmission tunnel, are also the buttons for ASR, chassis tuning and reverse gear. The only thing the driver has to do without is to do without the otherwise familiar interior mirror and instead look into the exterior mirrors which protrude like proud deer antlers. The excellently shaped seat shells press the driver and front passenger firmly but still sufficiently comfortably against each other. Behind the almost rectangular-looking valance, the driver sits very comfortably and with an unimagined sense of well-being: nothing pinches or pinches. The shift paddles of the electro-hydraulic six-speed transmission are located behind the steering wheel rim. The instruments are easy to see, and the materials used are carefully selected for their perfect fit. In times of digitalization, the displays look comparatively classic. In contrast to the Enzo, the MC 12 has other analog clocks for cooling water, oil temperature and oil pressure in addition to the brightly highlighted tachometer located in the center of the dashboard. The speedometer, which is completely black, is discreetly set to one side. There is enough space for two. And even a luggage compartment with a capacity of up to 150 liters is available for the Maserati for a quick passage for two. And the passengers do not have to do without the feeling of a convertible. The removable roof made of carbon fiber invites you to enjoy the open-air automotive experience in just a few easy steps. The cream of the Maserati is undoubtedly behind the two bucket seats: With its 632 HP, the MC 12 is one of the absolute top sports cars. However, the engine power is reduced - compared to the Enzo - by 28 horsepower to 632 hp (Enzo: 660 hp) due to modified cylinder heads and a lowered maximum speed in the Maserati. The maximum torque of the engine is 5500 rpm, whereby at 3000 rpm 80 percent of the maximum value is already present. There is no question that the Maserati engine is also blessed with everything that Ferrari's Formula 1 world champion forge has to offer: This includes cast iron housings, dry sump lubrication with a total of four oil pumps as well as variable timing and intake paths. When the blue starter button located in the center bar is pressed, the large-volume six-liter V12 engine comes to life.
