The new Ferrari Enzo and Maserati MC12 go to the auction house

Today we’ve got a great deal on offer in the ‘inaccessible supercars you’d be afraid to breathe near’ section. The new Ferrari Enzo and the new Maserati MC12 are headed for auction. The two supercars come from the same collection and are kept in pristine condition. That is why the auctioneer expects that the value of the brother has doubled.

We call them brothers, because the MC12 is in theory a Maserati copy of the Enzo. It’s like this: Enzo came first and was a monumental model for the founder of the brand story. Schumacher participated in the construction and therefore all kinds of F1 technology was added to the Enzo. Once again, the specifications are very impressive: the naturally aspirated 6.0-liter V12 produces 660 hp and almost the same number of Newton meters of torque.

A little later, Maserati was given permission to use the suspension, engine and racing gear to build its creation based on the Enzo. Enough pressure on Maserati’s shoulders. But the company gave. The MC12 celebrated the marque’s return to motorsport after a 37-year absence. Only fifty were built with this beautiful livery over a two-year period. You understand that this improves value.

Auction of new Ferrari Enzo and Maserati MC12

Now there are two very untouched copies left. For the record: Ferrari Enzo has run 228 km, Maserati MC12 333 km. International Roman can auction the cars and already has an amount in mind for which the cars should go: £10 million each. In our currency that is about 11.5 million euros. The Enzo was originally priced at £450,000 and you can buy an MC12 for half a million.

Top Gear spoke to Tom Jaconelli about the cars he auctions. “Whether you’re a discerning enthusiast or a visionary investor, the Maserati MC12 and Ferrari Enzo are not just cars, but art and history on wheels, each with its own heritage and the pinnacle of modern engineering from two of the country’s most iconic car brands. . the world,” he says.
