Unique Maserati MC12 Corsa temporarily at the Louwman Museum
This April, the Louwman Museum proudly presents a true gem of modern motorsport: the Maserati MC12 Corsa. Only twelve of these track-focused machines were ever built — and this particular example has been made road legal. A rare opportunity to witness this extraordinary supercar up close.
After decades away from the track, Maserati returned to racing in 2004 with the MC12, developed specifically for the international GT1 championship. The car proved a sensation, winning the title in both 2004 and 2005. To celebrate this success, Maserati created the MC12 Corsa — a track-only version for select clients and passionate collectors.
The name MC12 stands for Maserati Corse and the car’s twelve-cylinder engine. The Corsa shares its carbon monocoque with the Ferrari Enzo, but features conventional doors and a removable roof panel. Under the hood lies a tuned V12 engine producing a staggering 755 horsepower. At over 5.14 meters long and 2.10 meters wide, this supercar is a bold and powerful presence.
The car was designed by Frank Stephenson, known for iconic creations such as the 2001 MINI and the 2008 Fiat 500. Although the Corsa was never intended for road use, this particular example has been converted to be street legal. In theory, you could drive it down the boulevard — or even through a drive-thru, though the tiny side windows and tricky entry suggest otherwise.
The MC12 was produced in three versions:
-
GT1: The original race car, with twelve units built (plus one extra in 2013 from spare parts).
-
Stradale: A road-going version created for homologation purposes, with 50 units produced.
-
Corsa: The customer track car, built in a limited run of just twelve.
This MC12 Corsa isn’t just rare — it’s a powerful tribute to Italian design, engineering and racing heritage.
Visit the Louwman Museum this April and experience one of the most exclusive Maseratis ever built.
