Two of the most revered supercars of the 2000s – and a pair connected from their conception – are now being offered for sale through Romans International.
The Ferrari Enzo and Maserati MC12 hail from a noteworthy UK collection and have remained in pristine 'as-new' condition with only delivery mileage, having nearly doubled in value over the last five years without turning a wheel.
Unveiled at the 2004 Geneva Motor Show, the Maserati MC12 was conceived as a twin to the Ferrari Enzo to mark Maserati’s return to racing, ending a 37-year hiatus. With a limited run of 50 road-legal units - 25 created in 2004 and a further 25 in 2005 - the MC12 is a rare gem, even more so than the Enzo, with which it shares many mechanical components.
Romans International said it’s even rarer than the revered McLaren F1. This exclusivity, coupled with its racing genesis, mirrors the investment allure once held by the F1, whose value skyrocketed from around £1 million to well over £10 million in a decade.
The MC12, with its Ferrari Enzo-derived heart, including the F140B V12 engine and the "F1 gearbox" (dubbed "Maserati Cambiocorsa"), and exclusively adorned in the Bianco Fuji colour scheme, stands as a modern performance icon.
The Enzo was a marvel of its time, flaunting a newly minted 6.0L V12 engine that allowed it to launch from 0-60mph in a mere 3.1 seconds. Its design, a homage to Ferrari's triumphant F2002 Formula 1 car, and its limited production of 400 units (with one specially crafted for Pope John Paul II), underline its collector's appeal.
Tom Jaconelli, director at Romans International, said: “The sale of these cars is not merely a transaction but the next evolution of their journey as historically important collectible cars. Whether for the discerning enthusiast or the visionary investor, the Maserati MC12 and Ferrari Enzo are not merely cars, but artistry and history on wheels, each bearing the legacy and the pinnacle of contemporary technology of two of the most emotive automotive brands in the world."
