Anyone know what the racing MC12 costs? I mean if the racer costs more, then wouldn't it be quite viable, to get the Corsa, slap a restrictor on it, take off the passenger seat and creature comfort(if there were any), then race it?

Of course if the racer is cheaper than it's a null point.

the last two posts show a car built up on spare racing chassis number 13. It has been specifically prepared by Michael Bartels for the 100 years Maserati Celebrations, and the year of built was stated as 2014. It came second in the timed Goodwood Hill Climb run, after Loeb in the PP Special.

Wasn't it like 12 cars for sale and 3 protoypes/demo-cars for factory and this is one of them?

EDIT: Goodwood's press release below.

Ten years after the first MC12 was built to homologate Maserati’s racing efforts, the company has just built a very special one-off to celebrate its centenary at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Using a spare chassis that was still in the factory, assembly of the MC12 Goodwood Cent 100 only began this year… around 95 percent of the parts are new.

What makes the car special – aside from the fact it adds to the existing production run of 50 road cars and 25 racers – is its one-off paint job. The car is decorated with artistic paintings of Maserati’s motorsport glories: Stirling Moss in a 250F, the MC12 FIA GT cars and even an outline of the Goodwood hillclimb route feature. It also has its distinctive silver-and-black Festival of Speed race number painted on, rather than the usual adhesive decal.

The MC12 borrowed heavily from the Ferrari Enzo and marked Maserati’s return to motorsport after a 37-year break. In its first season in FIA GT GT1, there was some debate about the car’s homologation so no points were awarded in early rounds. Despite that, it finished the championship in the seventh. No such issues during the 2005 season when Maserati won the manufacturer’s cup. By 2010, the MC12 was still winning: it took the crown in the inaugural FIA GT1 World Championship.

If you’ve seen the MC12 Goodwood Cent 100 blasting up the hill, make sure you get up close to it in the paddock for a close look at the paintwork. And if you can’t do that, enjoy our gallery.
