This ISSIMI video includes full-throttle acceleration sound and ultra-HD 4K visuals.
The MC12’s racing history is as impressive as its Frank Stephenson-penned lines. The MC12 dominated FIA GT racing, earning 14 championship titles including 3 manufacturer’s cups. This success puts it in a rare category of FIA GT1 homologation and race cars that includes the McLaren F1, the Porsche 911 GT1, and the Mercedes-Benz AMG CLK GTR.
With its incredible rarity and prestigious racing pedigree, all-carbon construction, pushrod-actuated suspension, and the magnificent 630-hp Ferrari F140 V-12 engine, the 2004 Maserati MC12 has all the ingredients of a future classic.

I would love to see the spotlight placed on a Lexus LFA.
-
the inventory in issimi office is so crazy, jason can pull up any car to show the similarity rather than showing us a picture. I LOVE IT!!!!! btw beatiful testarossa
-
Sublime review that a car like this deserved and no one talked about it until now for a long time
-
The homologation cars throughout racing have always been amazing. It forced car makers to make amazing cars for us laypeople so their meat robots could race them. And before people say "homologation cars are only for the rich and not us", then I remind them of cars like the WRX, Lancer, Fast Volvos are products of homologation, and they quickly shut up.

The Enzo is a stunning car. But I always preferred the looks of the MC12
-
Absolutely loved it! What I'd love even more is you featuring every homologation special car in the Spotlight series.
-
Thank you so much for making a video on the MC12. It typically does not get the attention it deserves!
-
Jason. Thank You, you've taken on a personality the 35 and youngers needed. growing up on top gear and loving each extreme of personalities, you've found a way to be just as iconic without imitating one of those 3. Thank you
-
Jason I think you're the second most hilarious car reviewer after Jeremy Clarkson. I absolutely love your style of reviewing cars.
-
That intro is staggering. Reminds me of the last few seasons of Top Gear with Clarkson, Hammond and May. Car reviews like the RC-F and the LFA had similar lighting shots.
-
F*** me, epic content @ISSIMI. Jason Cammisa you SOB the commentary is fantastic my dude. This channel is helping me stay sane during the lockdown. THANK YOU.
-
Didn’t know Adam Sandler was so into Maseratis
-
I love every part of this video. Just the right amount of him talking about the car vs. him showing and driving the MC12.
-
I've been in love with this car since its inception. I still have my Maisto model of it. Gorgeous The last of the poster cars in my mind
-
Passion just flows through every single sentence of yours Jason! I cannot express how happy these videos make me!!!
