    Check out the size of the front overhang. Car parks and speed bumps may prove a bit of a proble.

    I'm off to Monaco in September as part of a 9 day European tour with the Owners Club. About 30 Ferraris in total. I will have my camera with me at all times.

    It probably has the same nose as the enzo, the one that can be adjusted manually for parking and speed bumps, and that goes up when the car is off. Not sure but I would assume so.

    It has a detuned Enzo motor, is a bit heavier, and a bit more finished on the inside. There is also a competition spec that has already raced in the FIA GT Class.

    Thats because the MC12 is Maserati's version of the Enzo.

    Thanks for the link Jim, but those that are really serious about the car have already been in touch with Ferrari/Maserati directly...

    heres one in London (according to the web site i took it from), i wonder if its Frank Mountains?
    Although im not so sure that is in London myself, doesnt look quite right to me.plus arent all mc12s blue and white? maybe its Italy around the factory before being finished, just guessing.

    Sorry but that MC12 is one ugly car. I have know idea what Marserati of Ferrari was thinking when they put that thing together. It looks like a bad honda type body kit on an Enzo..which anit much better to begin with.
