Doug DeMuro reviews the 2004 Maserati MC12 with mixed enthusiasm (58/100), celebrating its exceptional performance and value as one of the rarest supercars ever made—powered by a massive V12 with an amazing sound and sequential manual transmission with paddle shifters, plus an incredibly rare production run of just 50 cars worth $3-4 million. The design delivers practical touches like a removable Targa roof and a net storage pocket, though it loses some appeal with standard doors instead of butterfly doors and lacks modern conveniences like keyless entry and a radio. Significant livability compromises include no rear window or rear view mirror, nowhere to store the removable roof, and a difficult-to-operate transmission that takes time to respond, making visibility and usability genuine challenges. This car is exclusively for wealthy collectors who prioritize raw driving experience and exclusivity over comfort and practicality.
