In this episode of “The Big Thing,” Magnus Walker gets behind the wheel of the Maserati MC12 (on both the road and the track). He gets a feel for what this extremely limited production, more racing-oriented version of the Ferrari Enzo truly feels like, while providing a brief history lesson of how this fantastic race car came to be.

I always love this MC12 design more than the Enzo.

@siavash123456 2 года назад

To me it is the most beautiful car ever

@stevenwilliams1805 2 года назад

I agree. While I appreciate the Enzo for what it is, I just don't think it's anywhere near the best looking Ferrari.

@sund5 2 года назад

Enzo is red flashy. Hyped up. There are other very wild Ferrari's and they make more of them There are only 50 mc12s. And no other masserarti is a tiny bit like it. I find it much much cooler 😎👍

Yet another awesome car from the 2000s that got forgotten or never got much recognition. These were always far more appealing to me than Enzo at the time, and I think I still stand by that thought. Its refreshing to see some of the super/hyper cars of my childhood and teenage years begin to get notice. I think the super/hyper cars of the 2000s were and still are far more appealing than all the new super/Hyper cars that have just flooded onto the market place the last 12 years. They weren't all that common like they are now, I see more ferraris, Astons, Bentleys, you name it far more often than I did growing up. It was a high light of the summer to even see 1 of them, let alone anything over 3. Yet now.. I dont even have to live in a super wealthy area to catch a sight of a Bentley or a Ferrari. All I need is to live within a cities metro and be out on a saturday or sunday, and I will inevitably see that many new ones driving around.

@mohseinfergani651 2 года назад

wow what a coincidence ! This morning I watched the MC20 review then went back and watched again Jason camissa review of the MC12 released a year ago, The new Mc20 is no way near this beast from all perspective and it's a shame sharing Mc prefixe, This one was built based on a supercar, This car is just madness in all ways and it definitely worthes more than any other supercar for its rarity (50 road cars and 12 race cars were built in total of 62).

I was fortunate enough to be able to see one of these in the wild when they were new. I can remember it like it was yesterday. My wife and I were sitting at a redlight under the 101 freeway in Chandler AZ. It came off the freeway and accelerated briskly under the overpass. It sounded like a fighter jet going by. Truly an amazing machine, not to mention BEAUTIFUL. Better than the Enzo could ever hope to be.

@amberheardsbumpyknuckles9336 Год назад

Most auto manufacturers have 1 or 2 heart stopping models throughout their history. Maserati has 1 or 2 ok models and nearly all (until recently, let's be honest) poster-worthy dream cars. Yes, MC-12, and the birdcage(s), the AGC6*#$@+!, Merak (flying buttresses ftw), Mistral, khamsin, 3500 & 5000 gt, granturismo, quattro Porte, Bora, mexico, Indy, the tripod, early Ghibli's (swoon) and even now the mc-20. Regardless of performance, reliability, etc I would gladly have any of these. Gimme the MC-12 for sunday's, merak for Mondays, Quattro Porte for long trips, granturismo for the wife, the birdcage 75th to suffocate in and the Alfieri to push around. Such a long, strange winning streak. Charmed design team at the very least. Sorry/ not sorry for the rant 👌

@Fpvpilot928 2 года назад

The center lugs were different colors due to one side being reverse threaded, nothing to due with identifying tire tread direction, just for making sure the correct lug nut goes on the correct side of the car.

@poot111111 2 года назад

All time favorite car here, thank you for this @Hagerty

@chesspiece81 2 года назад

Since Maserati was able to make it faster than the Enzo I can't imagine how much more power it could have made. The reason the center locks are different colors is because one is right hand thread and the other is left hand thread. Lots or manufacturers do that.

@scientificenigma 2 года назад

Carrera gt has color coordinated sides for center locks aswell

@chesspiece81 2 года назад

@@scientificenigma That's the exact car I was thinking of. I know there are other cars that have center locks but aren't different colors and it is almost always race cars so the pit crew doesn't get the locks mixed up and waste a bunch of time trying to put a LHT lock on a RHT hub.

@joshbacon8241 4 месяца назад

Maserati were under strict orders by Ferrari to make the MC12 slower so as not to overshadow the Enzo on which it was based. In fact, knowing Ferrari, I can just see them suing Maserati and issuing them a cease-and-desist if the MC12 had been as fast as the Enzo…

Jaw-droppingly stunning, utterly divine. An Enzo may as well be a Fiat Punto compared to this - and the fact it was faster than the Enzo, despite Ferrari's efforts, is only the icing on the cake. Superb!

I saw an MC12 back in 2004 in a car showroom during a weekend and I also saw a yellow Enzo, but at the time the MC12 was not that meaningful to me because it was just a "unknown supercar" to me. Now I see the MC12 in a new different light and it is my third favorite of my top eight list. The Enzo is in second place. And back in 2009 I saw a blue MC12 racecar and the F50 was beside the MC12. I also saw the F40 for the first time in my life that day. Anyway, the MC12 brings back some of my best car memories to life with a lot of nostalgia. Thanks for making this video.

Before the MC20 came out, Maserati said it would’ve been the car that returned them to motorsports. That would’ve likely meant they planned on racing in GT3. But they have since gone silent and now Maserati have enter Formula E so I’m afraid it’s unlikely that they still plan on racing the MC20.

@EvendimataE 2 года назад

performance wise, is the $250k + mc20 as good, better or less than the mc12?

@Evanderj 2 года назад

Same hp of 621. MC20 can achieve a 0-60 time of 2.9sec coming from its 3.0 v6 compared to the 3.8sec of the MC12. But the MC20 tops out at 202 rather than the 205mph rated on the MC12. The new gearbox is leagues better, but the new car weighs 200kg more. The MC12 is really a garage queen super rare track car whilst the MC20 could be daily driven, and would feel much more contemporary and refined rather than raw, with multiple driving modes and presumably a more advanced suspension. Unfortunately, I doubt we will ever see them race each other so objective performance is speculative, but tech really has come a long way since 2004.

@GarryMcGovern 2 года назад

You can't compare the two - you're talking 17 years difference in technological advancement: the MC20 will trounce the MC12 on a track, but that shouldn't detract from what the MC12 could achieve in its day. A 488 is 4 seconds quicker than an Enzo around the ring, an F8 is almost 25 seconds quicker than an Enzo (even a 4 door Mercedes-AMG GT is quicker than an Enzo now, so you can take the wife and kids with you!!). That's progress....... but I would STILL take the MC12 over them all!
