The chassis is based on the one in the Ferrari Enzo, but the engine is the same 6.0-liter V-12 fitted to the Enzo-based FXX track car. It generates 755 hp in a vehicle that weighs just 2,535 lb.<\/p>\n<p>The 0-62 mph run takes about 3.8 seconds and the top speed is in excess of 202 mph. Drive is sent to the rear wheels via a heavily revised version of the MC12\u2019s 6-speed automated manual transmission, designed for quicker shifts.<\/p>\n<p>A handful of the MC12 Versione Corses have been modified to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorauthority.com\/news\/1023348_first-road-legal-maserati-mc12-versione-corse-on-sale\">make them street-legal<\/a>. That isn&#8217;t the case for this car, but it doesn\u2019t matter as any buyer would probably never want to drive it on a public road, and there\u2019s a good chance it won&#8217;t even make it out of a climate-controlled garage. For anyone who would take it on the road, there\u2019s some seriously stiff suspension tuning to deal with as well as a severe lack of outward vision.<\/p>\n<p>Maserati has a new supercar in its lineup in the form of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorauthority.com\/news\/1127191_review-maserati-mc20-price-photos-info-specs\">MC20<\/a> and it&#8217;s set to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorauthority.com\/news\/1136588_maserati-mc20-spawns-wild-project24-track-car-packing-730-hp\">spawn a track-only version<\/a> in the same vein as the MC12 Versione.
