2005 Maserati MC12



This land rocket is powered by an Enzo Ferrari-derived V12 engine (the MC12 is also designed and built on the Enzo Ferrari chassis).
The six-liter (366 cu in) delivers 624 horsepower and 481 pounds of torque.
This gives the MC12 a 0-62 time of 3.8 seconds and a quarter mile time of 11.8 seconds at 123.9 mph.
The top speed of the Maserati MC12 is 205 mph.
So what's bad about the MC12?
No trunk, no rear window, no spare tire and no radio.
No trunk, no rear window, no spare tire and no radio? It sounds like the 65 Rambler I used to have.
Anyway, only 50 of these bad boys were made.
And they all pre-sold for around $774193 dollars.

The Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano



Another VERY quick car, the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano is powered by a 6.0 L (5999 cc, hence the 599 in the name) V12 engine that produces a maximum of 612 horsepower and 448 pounds of torque.
This gives the Ferrari an 11.3 second quarter mile time at 126.4 mph.
Ferrari say's the cars top speed is in excess of 205 mph.
And they list a 0-160 time of 19 seconds.
Mileage?
11 mpg in the city, 15 mpg on the highway.
I wonder if thats at 205 mph?
And on the Tech side, the 599 GTB is the first Ferrari to come with an iPod connection as standard.
