    I know. But it would be a shame if they just stop there.

    They will build 25 more in 2005 if they can sell them. Official.

    Thats an unbeleivable car. I love it. The only thing I dont like is the 2 tone paint, it seperates the back of the car from the rest of it.

    The exterior is like an F-50 mated with a Jag XJ 220.

    The roadster was a good idea, esp. if it's in the Carrera GT price range. Some of the vents and curves on the fenders and back end look disjointed in pictures; however, if you've seen and appreciated an F-40 in real life you know how pictures can deceive as far as "flow."

    I would want the competition car's spoiler/tail combo rather than the frail-looking wing. Not as meaty as the F-50's. Then again, it could be just the pictures.

    I think they should do with this car what they failed to do with the Enzo: maximize profits by having open orders for a certain period of time (say one calendar year of orders, 2-3 years of production). Maserati needs the exposure and more worldwide image... and frankly I don't think they need to be as 'exclusive' branded as the Ferrari line of product, especially when Maser's direct competition is Porsche, Jag, MB, and the new Baby Aston.

    The MC12 street version is awesome! Love those Italian emblem on the sides.

    Napolis,
    Your name is on the list for the street version, is that right?
    Do you know when you will be getting yours?

    Another question...
    This car does come in other colors right?

    I am speechless...that thing is really really real...

    Ill take one in Canna de Fucile Metallico, and they can keep that rear wing!

    Wow, 10 steps ahead of the Enzo syling-wise...

    I think this car looks great, especially in the dark blue with the maser logo on the hood.

    Much better than an Enzo - looks great, much rarer and will have a real racing history to go with the looks. Tops.
