Bonhams Cars to Auction 2005 Maserati MC12 Stradale

One of only 50 examples built

This 2005 Maserati MC12 Stradale will be offered for auction at Bonhams Cars on October 12, carrying an estimate of up to $4,700,000. Conceived as a homologation special for international GT racing, the MC12 was produced in two batches of 25, with each group reflecting the FIA’s rule changes.

Developed from the Ferrari Enzo, the Stradale variant employed a 6.0-liter naturally aspirated V12 producing 621 bhp, paired with a six-speed automated manual gearbox. Performance figures included a 0–100 km/h acceleration time of 3.8 seconds and a top speed of 330 km/h. Its carbon-fiber monocoque chassis, with aluminum subframes, was matched with double-wishbone suspension and selectable Sport or Race modes.

While designed for competition, the MC12 offered a distinctive interior blending carbon fiber, blue leather, and silver Brightex. Criticisms about its lack of practicality—a missing audio system, boot, or rear window—were offset by its motorsport pedigree, highlighted by Maserati’s FIA GT Manufacturers’ Cup victory in 2005 and years of subsequent dominance.

Delivered new in January 2005 to a single registered owner in Rome, this car remains in its factory color scheme of pearlescent white with blue accents, honoring Maserati’s historic Camoradi racing livery. It has been meticulously maintained, with 13 recorded services, most of which were performed by the original dealer, including significant work at Maserati’s Modena factory in 2024.

The most recent service was completed in August 2025. Showing consistent use at approximately 2,200 km per year, it is offered with cancelled Italian registration, the original stamped service book, and documents. This carefully maintained, single-owner MC12 Stradale ranks among the most exclusive and collectible modern Maseratis.
