    A very rare sight on the street. Maserati MC12

    Today I saw this Maserati MC12 parked near my car.
    I had seen it before on the street driving but was not able to get pics.
    Today I could take some with my mobile phone.
    It is very strange to see this car amongst normal cars..

    Yikes!

    Roof open and commonly parked? That turns your exotic car into an ashtray for vandals.

    Attracts them like flies from miles around.

    Just look at the size of that car

    About a month ago I saw a Bugatti Veyron here in Luxembourg. I couldn't help and had to gaze in awe!

    haha barely fits in that spot...

    probably takes him a lot of clutch riding before he's out that spot with the surrounding cars and it's large turning point..

    Is backing the Maserati easier than a Countach?

    I love the pic, with the smart parked next to it.


    Gnil, get yourself a phone with a better camera.

    Honestly,

    I don't find either car that pretty.

    Let's say they built as many Enzo's or MC12's as they did 911's and they weren't the rare cars they are today, does anyone actually think the Enzo or MC-12 would be as good looking?

    The dimensions and proportions, ground clearance, sheer size all make it quite exotic looking I'd say it's a very pretty car, better than the enzo using the same chassis.

    I think it's the car of Garage Foitek.

    Awesome car! Much prefer it over the Enzo, which looks like a origami swan IMO...
    The MC12's not a pretty car but it sure has some presence!
