2005 Maserati MC12 Stradale

One of 50 MC12 Stradale road cars built to homologate Maserati's FIA GT1 racer. Ferrari Enzo-derived, naturally-aspirated 6.0-liter V12 delivering 630 horsepower and 481 lb‑ft of torque. Finished in Bianco Fuji pearlescent white with blue accents over a Blu leather and BrighTex fabric interior. Showing just over 11,500 kilometers. Benefits from a $70,000 mechanical recommissioning by GTO Engineering in July 2025.
The Maserati's overwhelming superiority established it as the era-defining GT racing car of the 2000s and secured its place among most successful Italian GT cars in history. FIA regulations mandated the production of at least 25 road-going examples for homologation in GT1-class racing. Maserati fulfilled this requirement by building 25 cars in 2004, followed by 25 examples for 2005, creating a total production run of just 50 road cars—bolstered by a dozen further MC12 Versione Corse track-only variants. This limited production made the MC12 rarer than the 400-unit Ferrari Enzo upon which it was based.
The road-going MC12 Stradale was centered on the 6.0-liter Tipo M144A V12 engine derived from the Enzo, featuring double overhead cams, four valves per cylinder, and dry-sump lubrication. In Maserati tune, the powerplant produced 630 horsepower at 7,500 rpm and 481 lb-ft of torque at 5,500 rpm. This powerplant was mounted amidships in a carbon-fiber monocoque chassis incorporating Nomex honeycomb sandwich construction. Suspension was double wishbones with pushrod‑actuated coil‑over dampers at each corner, and Bosch electronic aids—including ABS, EBD, and traction control. This worked in concert with massive Brembo brakes (six‑piston fronts and four‑piston rears).
Chassis number 12095 was completed in 2005. It crosses the block at the Monterey Jet Center 2025 with an estimate of $4,800,000 to $5,500,000. Here.
