Default Maserati MC12 by Edo-Competition (Veyron-opponent!?)

I saw this sexy beast today near the Nürburgring..

The custom paintjob was just beautiful! Thanks to TT i know now that it's the only tuned MC12 in the world, by Edo-Competition (http://www.edo-competition.net/). They got the order from Masearti to modify a standard MC12 to break the 400 km/h-barrier.

btw: the autograph is from Michael Schuhmacher








i only found an german article about it http://www.motorsport-coubique.de/ms..._maserati.html

Did they give it a true dual exhaust is the only question i have? But 0-186 in 22 seconds isn't bad all though, so goog job to Edo but how would it do against an FXX? My guess is that it wouldn't be on par with it in the turns and braking but accelleration must be there or even better. Thanks for the post dodo.

Catching an MC12 is already hard but the EDO MC12 is amazing, congratulations and thanks for the pics

Too bad it wasn't ideally placed

Wow,
I really think the MC12 looks incredible. As cool as the enzo is - I think the Maserati would be one step more original/rare.
