Unveiled at the 2004 Geneva motor show, it was a very exclusive mid-engine model originally intended to be hand-built in just 25 units, all of which sold-out before its launch. Due to the MC12s considerable success, immediately followed up with numerous victories in the FIAs GT1 class, a second batch of 25 cars was built in 2005. 

Designed for high level road use, the MC12 exceeded 330 kmh at full throttle, sprinting from 0 to 100 kmh in just 3.8 seconds. The MC12 benefited from the Ferrari-Maserati Groups most advanced technologies and competition experience. Its naturally aspirated 6 litre V12 punched out 465 kW at 7500 rpm, yet offered absolutely excellent drivability, remaining exceptionally lively and fluid even at low engine speeds. 

The MC12 was Maseratis first mid-engine road-legal GT since 1982. In June 2004, Maseratis CEO Martin Leach personally demonstrated the car at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Its a true gemtrackside and in this 1:18 scale version!
