Maserati MC12 Corsa Million-Euro Racecar Edit

MODENA, Italy — Maserati is hoping to climb into the uber-car pantheon with the new MC12 Corsa, which the Fiat affiliate describes as a build-to-order, track-only model based on its MC12 GTI racecar.

Available starting this fall, Maserati will build only 12 cars in total, each with a price tag of a million Euros ($1,275,000), plus tax. The sticker rivals that of the Bugatti Veyron, but there’s one twist: Maserati has no plans to homologate the MC12 Corsa for road use or motorsports.

Instead, the automaker says the car is aimed at a select number of clients “who will enjoy the possibility to test their driving capability in the most exclusive gentlemen drivers’ environment” — that is, for exclusive use during private track sessions or at Maserati exhibitions.
