The rarest Maserati ever made is the Maserati MC12 Versione Corsa, a Maserati supercar designed exclusively for private track use, with no compromises in Maserati performance or Maserati horsepower.

Born from the brand’s racing pedigree, it delivers a raw, unrestricted driving experience built on GT1 race technology.

Unlike the road-going Stradale, the Versione Corsa was never intended for public roads.

Instead, it was crafted for a select few who demanded the purest expression of speed.

The rarest Maserati with race-winning DNA

The rarest Maserati in history, the MC12 Versione Corsa, was launched in 2006 after the success of the MC12 GT1 in endurance racing.

It was created for clients who wanted the race car experience without the limitations of competition rules.

Powered by a naturally aspirated 6.0-liter V12, it produced an astonishing 755 Maserati horsepower.

This Maserati supercar reached a top speed of 326KMH and could accelerate from 0 to 200KMH in just 6.4 seconds.

The car was built on a carbon-fiber monocoque chassis with aluminum subframes and featured a full racing aerodynamic package.

Only 12 were made, adding to its extreme rarity.

Maserati supercar for private track days

The MC12 Versione Corsa was not legal for the road and was never designed to be.

Each Maserati supercar was sold for around one million euros and delivered with a custom ownership experience.

Maserati retained full custody of the cars, however, handling all transport, storage, and servicing.

This level of exclusivity means most people have never even seen the rarest Maserati in person.

These cars were showcased only during private events, arranged by the marque, for clients to explore the full extent of Maserati performance on a closed track.

Maserati performance without restrictions

Because it wasn’t built for a racing class, the Versione Corsa could achieve Maserati performance levels far beyond those of the GT1 race car.

The 755HP V12 had no air restrictors, which allowed for quicker throttle response and a much higher speed ceiling.

It used a six-speed Cambiocorsa sequential gearbox, carbon-ceramic brakes, and fixed carbon bucket seats with racing harnesses.

The stripped interior emphasized function over comfort. Every detail of the build served to extract the maximum potential of Maserati horsepower and handling.

Rarest Maserati horsepower and lasting legacy

Some MC12 Corsas have reportedly been converted for road use, but this is extremely rare.

With Maserati horsepower exceeding both the road and race versions of the MC12, and with significantly less weight, the Versione Corsa is considered the most aggressive Maserati performance model ever.

Its rarity and roots in motorsport history have made it a prized possession among collectors.

Units that do reach the market can fetch several million dollars, confirming the rarest Maserati as one of the brand’s most valuable creations.

It stands out among Maserati supercars for its raw nature and elite status.

The Maserati MC12 Versione Corsa was built with a single purpose: performance without limits.

As the rarest Maserati ever made, it represents the pinnacle of Maserati horsepower and racing-inspired engineering.

This Maserati supercar captures a moment in time when the brand was at the peak of its competitive capability.

It remains one of the most exclusive and revered models in the history of Maserati performance.
