As a Ferrari-led engineering project, the MC12 is the rarest and only racing-derived hypercar built in Maranello, making it the ultimate addition to any Ferrari hypercar car collection
Developed into a more advanced GT homologation version of the Ferrari Enzo powered by Ferrari’s naturally aspirated V-12 6.0-litre engine and chassis design
The Maranello bloodline resulted in six World Championships on the racetrack between 2005-2010 elevating the MC12 to one of the most iconic GT cars of the 2000s
Joins the McLaren F1, Porsche GT1 Strassenversion and Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR as the only modern ultra-limited production GT versions of World Championship winning GT1 race cars
The MC12’s open top configuration, á la the Ferrari F50, presents the very best of Italian styling and performance in the modern hypercar era
The 41st of only 50 total examples built
Retained by its original owner for nearly 20 years until 2024
Just 2,024 km from new at the time of cataloging
Most recent annual service in 2025 and clutch replacement in 2026

When compared alongside its sibling, the Ferrari Enzo, Maserati’s breathtaking MC12 is undoubtably a more enticing proposition. While the Enzo was born and bred for road use (with the exception of the track-only FXX), the MC12 would catapult Maserati into the top-tier of the GT1 Class of the FIA GT Championship.

In order to homologate the car, just fifty examples were built, split evenly across production in 2004 and 2005. This alone made the car far rarer than the Enzo, with 399 examples (plus one built for Pope John Paul II and later sold for charity) built. Longer, wider, and arguably more purposeful than the Enzo, the missile-like MC12 boasted both a lower drag coefficient and greater downforce. Not only that, but the MC12’s removable hardtop further separated it from its Maranello-born cousin, recalling the excitement of Ferrari’s F50. While the MC12’s acceleration and top speed were reined in to appease Ferrari’s top brass, the supercar proved a revelation, particularly on track.

The 2005 FIA GT Championship saw Maserati and the MC12 GT1 emerge victorious in the GT1 class winning the Manufacturers Cup and scoring nearly twice as many points as Ferrari. The victories would keep coming and not only would Maserati again win the Manufacturers Cup in 2007, the model claimed six Teams’ Championships in a row between 2005 and 2010, alongside six Drivers’ Championships in FIA GT from 2006-2010, plus the Drivers’ Championship in the 2006 Italian GT Championship. To say the MC12 GT1 was dominant would be an understatement, and its success on the track undoubtably helped to raise the profile of Maserati as a brand as it came into the 21st century and underpins the importance of its road-going brethren today.

Produced as part of the second batch of MC12s built for the 2005 model year, chassis number 17558 was amongst the last MC12s produced, with this car referenced as car number 41 on its accompanying certificate of origin. Allocated to a VIP collector in Asia, interestingly the car was delivered new via Maserati France as per the accompanying service book, but was shipped immediately to its first owner in Hong Kong.

Regularly looked after under the care of its original owner, invoices on file show that by March of 2006, the car had been driven just 1,375 km from new, meaning the vast majority of the car’s current mileage (showing 2,024 km at the time of cataloging) was accrued within the first year of its life. Invoices on file show regular annual services carried out between 2008 and 2020 in Hong Kong. It is important to note that the car’s front bumper and front bonnet were repainted in January of 2020 in an effort to ensure the car presents at its very best. Following the car’s importation and registration in Germany in 2024, the MC12 received its most recent annual service at Gohm Böblingen, an official Ferrari service center, in March of 2025. Most recently in 2026, the car received a clutch replacement carried out by the Maserati and Ferrari specialists at Franco Auto in Kwintsheul in The Netherlands.

The Maserati MC12 operates in a unique space in both Maserati and Ferrari history. Ferrari took full ownership control of Maserati in 1999 and sought to revive the glory of the famous trident, utilizing Ferrari engineering and production expertise in both their road and race car offerings. The pinnacle of this collaboration was the MC12, a World Championship winner on the racetrack, and the rarest and only race-derived hypercar built in Maranello.

It is hard to believe that over two decades have passed since the MC12 first debuted on track and won its inaugural championship in FIA GT racing. The glory days of GT1 racing from the mid 1990s to late 2000s is likely a time that will never be replicated again with the evolution of modern racing. As such, the ‘Homologation specials’ that bear more than a passing resemblance to their race-ready siblings are the most highly sought after GT cars by collectors today, with the ultra-low production McLaren F1, Porsche GT1 Strassenversion, Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR and Maserati MC12 road cars being the only examples of World Championship-winning based GT cars. Having been cared for by its original owner for the vast majority of its life, this low-mileage MC12 would be the ultimate addition to any collection of modern hypercars.
