“The MC12 is the pinnacle of the Maserati brand; it’s the marque’s first and only supercar and the car that put it back on the competition map,” says Alexander Weaver, Senior Car Specialist and VP of Private Sales for Broad Arrow. “While it is based around the Ferrari Enzo, the MC12 wears a competition-purpose body, offers a removable roof panel, and is significantly rarer, produced in just 50 units compared to the Enzo’s 400. It is fresh from a comprehensive service, and ready to drive and enjoy.”
The MC12 program is credited with successfully restoring Maserati to its rightful place among the world's most premier racing marques while simultaneously creating one of the most coveted road cars of the modern era. Chassis number 12095 was completed in 2005, the second and final year of production. It is finished in the signature Bianco Fuji pearlescent white livery with blue accents that paid homage to the colors of the America CAMORADI Scuderia, which campaigned the legendary Maserati Tipo 60/61 Birdcages in the early 1960s. The sporting exterior is complemented by a luxurious Blu leather and BrighTex fabric interior.
The MC12 Stradale's technical foundation centered on the 6.0-liter Tipo M144A V12 engine derived from the Enzo. In Maserati tune, the powerplant produced 630 horsepower at 7,500 rpm and 481 lb-ft of torque at 5,500 rpm. The car on offer is a superb, road-going version of the era-defining GT racing car of the 2000s, offering the chance to own and experience a true homologation special that bridges Maserati's illustrious competition heritage with modern performance from one of the most dominant GT1 programs in history.
Led by the MC12, Broad Arrow’s Monterey Jet Center Auction will present 170 collector cars over two exciting days, a curation of some of the most highly desirable collector cars across today’s most active segments of the market. From modern supercars and track-focused machines to timeless post-war classics and on-the-rise JDM icons, there’s something for every automotive passion at the August 13-14 sale.
“Today’s most active buyers at the top tier of the collector car market are a step younger and more focused on performance and usability,” says Barney Ruprecht, Senior Car Specialist and VP of Auctions, Broad Arrow. “The cars they are after are nevertheless still best-of-category, incredibly rare, and of the highest quality, whether that means low mileage or careful preservation. Our 2025 Monterey Jet Center Auction presents a host of these highly desirable collector cars across the most active and sought-after segments of the market, from supercars to rising-star JDM variants.”
Beyond the Maserati, additional supercar highlights for the Monterey Jet Center Auction include:
2008 Koenigsegg CCXR, one of just 11 examples built and merely three in the U.S. Well-maintained and tastefully upgraded throughout its life, this six-speed manual CCXR was featured in the fifth Fast & Furious film and offers a raw, analog driving experience seldom found in the modern hypercar era (Estimate: $2,750,000 - $3,500,000).2018 Bugatti Chiron, a spectacular two-owner example that embodies all the grandeur of its breed, with over $500,000 in factory options. The Chiron’s offering represents an opportunity to acquire a modestly driven example of Bugatti’s era-defining hypercar in what is believed to be a one-of-one specification (Estimate: $3,000,000 - $3,500,000).
1991 Ferrari F40, a remarkably original, preservation-grade, U.S.-market example with a mere 1,701 miles and long-term ownership history (Estimate: $3,350,000 - $3,500,000).
1968 Lamborghini Miura P400, a Series II example of the original supercar, delivered new to Prince Abdul Elah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud of Saudi Arabia. Finished in its original combination of Bianco over a Rosso leather interior, the beautifully restored, matching-numbers car is equipped with its original factory “special modified 380 BHP” engine (Estimate: $2,000,000 - $2,400,000).
A pair of Countaches, including an original-owner, time-capsule 1988 Lamborghini Countach 5000 QV (Estimate: $800,000 - $900,000) and a 1989 Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary Edition (Estimate: $500,000 - $600,000), the ultimate and fastest edition of the Countach, formerly a staple of WWE superstar John Cena's esteemed car collection.
