Maserati has taken the wraps of its $1.7 million supercar, a new track-only version of the World Championship-winning Maserati MC12 called the Corsa and which will only be sold to valued Maserati customers who will be restricted to using their new supercar on private track days.

''This is a unique opportunity to own a car that is the reigning GT World Champion,'' says Edward Butler, General Manager for Maserati in Australia and New Zealand. ''The world-beating racing car was developed from the Maserati MC12 road car and the Corsa is derived directly from the GT1 racing car exclusively for track use. It will not be homologated for road use.''

''The MC12 Corsa has been developed in response to the customer demand to own the MC12 racing car and fuelled by the growth in track days, where owners can drive their cars at high speeds in the safety of a race track without the obvious constraints of normal road use,'' says Mr Butler. ''Without doubt the MC12 Corsa is the ultimate track day car!''

The 564 kW MC12 Corsa has been developed from the MC12 GT1 which won the 2005 FIA GT Manufacturers Cup. It will be used exclusively on track during private test sessions and exhibition activities organised by Maserati. It will not be homologated for road use or for any racing activity.

The Maserati MC12 Corsa, which is living testimony of Maserati's ability to individually tailor make unique cars with the highest technological content, will be on sale at the price of a million Euros plus tax in September. Available in the official Maserati Blue Victory color, it may also be personalized upon request with several optional items

Total production of the Maserati MC12 Corsa will not exceed 12 units worldwide.

Can't wait to see that get tested on Top Gear

Guess Again

It will be used exclusively on track during private test sessions and exhibition activities organised by Maserati. It will not be homologated for road use or for any racing activity.

Top Gear owns a race track.

As well, the FXX and Enzo are based on the MC12 chassis.

Once again...

So Maserati couldn't organize a top gear drive? Renaults F1 team did. Astons DB9R team did. Where's your point?

The point is it does not matter if Top Gear owns a track. It is up to Maserati, not top gear.

It always has been up to the manufactures.

Do you think Top Gear just goes out and steal cars to drive on their track? Lol.

I honestly don't think guys like Frank Mountain and many others that will be offered this car are going to give a shit if they're only supposed to drive it at Maserati events.

would YOU give a shit? :dunno:

Nope, I'd drive it on the streets and any time I damn well please, just like I'm sure Frank Mountain will.

did you guys notice, that it looks likes a 8 from front view ? :P

very nice but talk about rare

Dammit...I wish I had a couple million dollars laying around somewhere.
