Uno de mis coches preferidos, a la venta.

Unidad de 2007, pintada en un llamativo color naranja, que la firma Girardo & Co tiene a la venta. Si bien no sabemos su precio, ya que la compañía solo lo facilita bajo petición expresa de algún interesado, en otras ocasiones hemos visto ejemplares del Versione Corsa por tarifas superiores a los 2,5 millones de euros.

El Maserati MC12 GT1, que supuso el regreso de Maserati a la competición de máximo nivel, se estrenó en el campeonato GT de la FIA en 2004. Unos años después, ya contaba con 40 victorias en carrera y dos títulos de constructores, por ejemplo. Se trataba de una bestia de impresionante diseño, con motor 6,0 litros V12 atmosférico de gasolina. No obstante, y debido a la normativa, contaba con una brida de admisión que limitaba su potencia a alrededor de 588 CV.

Versione Corsa, el MC12 desatado

Tras el dominio del MC12 en competición, la firma italiana quiso ofrecer a sus clientes la posibilidad de adquirir una versión muy especial del MC12, solo apta para circuito. De este MC12 Versione Corsa se fabricaron únicamente 12 unidades, y esta de las imágenes es la que se produjo en octavo lugar, concretamente a principios del año 2007. Nuevo costaba 1 millón de euros.

Liberado de las limitaciones de la competición, el motor V12 atmosférico podía alcanzar los 755 CV de potencia a 8.000 rpm, es decir, más de 120 CV adicionales con respecto al modelo de calle, y casi 170 CV más que el MC12 GT1 de competición. El bloque se combina con una caja de cambios secuencial Cambiocorsa, de seis velocidades.

No faltan tampoco en este coche, basado en un chasis monocasco de fibra de carbono y Nomex, un equipo de frenos con discos carbocerámicos, o una jaula antivuelco. Con todo, el peso del conjunto ronda los 1.150 kilogramos, lo que permite un 0 a 200 km/h en 6,4 segundos y una velocidad máxima de 326 km/h.

Esta unidad en cuestión fue comprada nueva por el alemán Michael Bareither, que a pesar de ser un entusiasta de los coches de circuito, no le dio demasiado uso. Después, el coche cambió de manos y, de hecho, su siguiente dueño reconstruyó el motor al completo y llevó a cabo ciertas medidas de mantenimiento, como cambios del aceite de la caja de cambios o del líquido de frenos, o la sustitución del embrague por uno nuevo.

A la vista está que, además del tono naranja exterior, este Versione Corsa luce algunos detalles en color negro, un interior también en negro, llantas de aleación en tono gris oscuro o un enorme alerón de fibra de carbono vista.

Brutal, hace poco salió a subasta este MC12 GT1

https://www.bmwfaq.org/threads/maserati-mc12-gt1-2006-en-venta.982526/

Basado en el Ferrari Enzo, algo más grande y con su V12 6.0 632 cv, las principales diferencias del GT1 con el Stradale es que lleva cambio secuencial y 250 kg menos :pompous:

Para variar, lo subastan en RM Sotheby's:

⯒ TEMPORARY IMPORT
After decades of under-investment, Maserati’s takeover by Ferrari in 1999 heralded an exciting new era for the Modenese firm, as well as the reintroduction of the illustrious name to the international motor-racing arena after an absence of almost four decades. The liberalisation of the FIA GT Championship regulations in 2004 was to the advantage of small-volume supercar manufacturers, and the decision was taken to produce 50 Maserati MC12 Stradales—utilising the Ferrari Enzo chassis and engine as its basis—to enable the homologation of the MC12 GT1 racing variant.

The GT1 featured a sequential gearbox in place of the Stradale’s semi-automatic unit and a 31.2 mm air restrictor as required by the rules, and it was some 250 kg lighter than its road-going counterpart. It was an immediate success, scoring its maiden FIA GT Championship win in only its second race and securing both Drivers’ and Teams’ crowns every year from 2006 until 2010. A Maserati Corse-entered version had contested the 2005 American Le Mans Series, although it had not been eligible to score championship points due to an ongoing dispute surrounding its homologation.

This particular car, chassis no. 24053, was delivered new to the current owner in November 2006 and was completed to GT1 specification. As a Ferrari customer of long standing—having previously campaigned examples of Maranello’s magnificent 333 SP on both sides of the Atlantic for many years—the owner was assigned ‘ultra-customer’ status by the company and was accordingly offered the opportunity to purchase an MC12 GT1.

Having achieved considerable success in both Sports Prototype and GT racing for more than three decades, he was a vastly experienced driver and exactly the sort of privateer at which the MC12 GT1 was aimed. Supported by his longtime co-driver Didier Theys—himself twice a winner of the Daytona 24 Hours and a three-time Le Mans podium finisher—the car was earmarked for use in selected rounds of the 2007 American Le Mans Series (ALMS) alongside the pairing’s parallel programme in the European Le Mans Series (ELMS) with an LMP2 Lola-Judd. The Maserati would be prepared by Kevin Doran and his eponymous Ohio-based Doran-Lista Racing operation.

The ALMS catered for both Sports Prototypes and GT cars—sub-divided into LMP1 and LMP2, and GT1 and GT2 classes, respectively—although the team’s focus was on being competitive within the GT ranks, as overall victory would not be a realistic possibility given the lighter weight and superior aerodynamics of the prototype cars. Regrettably, the team’s arrival coincided with a paucity of entries in the GT1 class; indeed, the 2007 series would only see five GT1 cars compete across the entire season. That said, one constant was the presence of the pace-setting Works Corvette Racing team, who would provide a meaningful benchmark against which the Doran-Lista squad could measure themselves.

Due to the congested nature of their season, the MC12 was not used until the Road America 500 in August, held at the legendary Elkhart Lake track in Wisconsin. Not unexpectedly, the team qualified 3rd (and last) in Class behind the two Works Corvettes, although Theys’s best lap was only a second slower than the lead Magnussen/O’Connell C6R and just over nine-tenths of a second slower than the sister car of Oliver Gavin and Olivier Beretta. Superior fuel consumption and race strategy ensured that the LMP2 Penske Porsche Spyder took overall victory, although a thunderstorm led to over an hour of the race being run behind the safety car. In GT1, the Corvettes finished 1-2, the Doran-Lista MC12 having put in a solid performance to finish 14th overall and 3rd in Class, only three laps down on the class-winning Beretta/Gavin car.

The MC12’s second and final outing was at the ALMS’s flagship Petit Le Mans race at Road Atlanta in early October. On this occasion, a new driver for the car was Andrea Bertolini, who—as chief test driver of the MC12 project and reigning FIA GT champion—could not have been better qualified for the role. Once again, the Works Corvettes were the only GT1 opposition, but a mighty performance in qualifying ensured that it was 24053 which took the class pole by almost a second from the Magnussen/O’Connell/Fellows C6R, with the sister car of Gavin/Beretta/Papis a further two-tenths back.

The race itself was memorable for witnessing the closest finish in ALMS history, the LMP1 Audi R10 of Capello and McNish defeating the Bernhard/Dumas/Long Penske Porsche by less than one second after almost 1,000 miles of racing. An early crash had eliminated the lead Corvette from the GT1 battle after only 15 laps, although a similar fate would befall the Doran-Lista car in the final hour to leave the Gavin/Beretta/Papis Corvette with an untroubled class victory and a highly impressive 9th place overall. Although they were not running at the finish, the Maserati team had covered sufficient distance to be classified as a finisher in 19th place overall and 2nd in GT1.

Following its Petit Le Mans accident, 24053 was rebuilt by Doran Racing, and in late 2008 it was shipped from the USA to the consignor’s private museum in Switzerland, where it has resided ever since.

This highly significant Maserati is presented exactly as it last raced, right down to the Petit Le Mans scrutineering decal still affixed to the roll cage. It is supported by an extensive history file, including the original purchase agreement, importation documents, and homologation papers, and is one of only two MC12 GT1s believed to have competed in the ALMS. Arguably one of the most charismatic GT cars of recent times, its participation would undoubtedly be welcomed by the popular Trans-Atlantic Masters Endurance Legends series and Endurance Racing Legends events, for which it is eligible and eminently suited.
