I voted subzero for this one as well and believe that this and the Enzo should switch places in the current ranking. Yes, this is basically a glorified Enzo with different bodywork and a more garish paint scheme, but it has some design flair and beauty that the Enzo is simply lacking. Those carbon strakes on the front end are so think you could practically slice fruit on them. It may not be classically beautiful, but it's very nearly as fast as the Enzo (Faster around some tracks) and it certainly has the Italian styling panache that the Enzo is lacking.

i like maserati more evry time i see one, but this is for me some weird mix between a cheat around the FIA GT rules (kinda like the GT1 cars of the late 90s) and an incredible posers' car...so uncool for me...even tho there are parts of it that i like, mainly its being not 1 of the obvious names every 8yo boy knows...

i'd give it just a cool, i like the design abeit it is a bit big.
i dun mind too much that it's an enzo in drag since enzo is such an accomplished car.
The main reason i didn't give it a subzero though is because there's the 'Birdcage' concept car, now that thing is subzero with an absolutely gorgeous styling, whereas this the MC12 is just cool and it's styling becomes a awkward next to the birdcage

it's Italian, it looks better than an Enzo, and is just as fast. BTW, it's a maserati! Subzero, no question.

I don't dig it. It just looks like a whale in white. I like the racing version, but this one is just uncool.

Look an Enzo with a bodykit. Uncool.

Show me a modern Birdcage. That would be cool.

You mean they made an Enzo even better. And it's got racing wins to back it up. And they did make the new Birdcage. It was also based on the Enzo. It's not a production car, but Pininfarina bothered to make a running prototype anyways.

Yea, that reminds me why i voted the way I did on this way back when. This one has had real racing success. The Enzo is just a trackday toy for guys with money.

Uncool?????
Remember the mc12 in top gear? Was faster than the enzo,
the price is high but makes the car exclusive
this car is amazing,has much style, and very powerful..
With certainty must belong to section Subzero....

Once upon a time, Maserati knew how to think for itself. Now they have Ferrari table scraps. If Ferrari wanted to win with the Enzo or the FXX it could. Instead Ferrari decides to win F1 titles, just like Maserati used to do.

Sticking to it. MC12 is un-cool.
