Maserati has just written a new and important chapter in the world of collectible cars, after witnessing an MC12 Stradale, the limited-production supercar with only 50 units made, 25 produced in 2004 and another 25 in 2005, reach a record value of USD 5.2 million (€4.7 million) at the prestigious Broad Arrow Auction, held during Monterey Car Week in California.
The MC12 Stradale embodies the essence of extreme performance, engineering excellence, and the bold vision that has always distinguished the Trident brand. It is equipped with a V12 engine with a displacement of 5988 cm³ and 630 hp at 7500 rpm.
The Maserati supercar stands out with its unmistakable white bodywork with blue details, paying homage to the Maserati Birdcage Type 61, produced between 1959 and 1961, and has become a supercar capable of winning the hearts of enthusiasts and collectors around the world, even 20 years after its debut.
Maserati also announced that the result of the auction not only surpasses the previous record for the model by 37%, but also makes this MC12 the most expensive modern Maserati ever sold.
Recall that the MC12 Stradale was born as a road version of the MC12 GT1, the absolute protagonist of the FIA GT competition between 2004 and 2010, with fourteen titles (and 22 victories), including 2 Constructors’ Cups, 5 Drivers’ Championships, and 6 Teams’ Championships, as well as three successes in the 24 Hours of Spa. This direct connection to the world of racing helped build the myth of the MC12, making it a symbol of technology, timeless design, and world-class performance.
