HISTORY

The Maserati MC12 is a two-seater long-tail coupé-spider with a long wheelbase (2800 mm). It is powered by a naturally aspirated 12-cylinder 65° V engine that displaces 5998 cc and punches out 465 kW (630hp) at 7500 rpm. Highly advanced composites and alloys have enhanced its structural rigidity and kept its overall weight down. The MC12's bodywork is entirely carbon fibre, while its stress-bearing chassis is made from a carbon fibre and Nomex honeycomb sandwich.

The Scalextric MC12 is modelled on the Maserati that was released towards the end of the 2004 FIA GT season. This livery is based on the Playteam team with Andrea Bertolini amongst the team’s drivers.
