Following Maserati’s merger with Ferrari, the "Tridente" marquis returned in 2005 to reclaim its rightful, and familiar spot on the winners podium. Drawing from the finest engineering and creativity from Maserati and Ferrari, the Maserati MC-12 emerged and quickly took the racing circuit by storm. The Maserati MC-12 has totally dominated the FIA GT circuit since it was introduced in 2004 - no small feat, considering it is competing against the best racers from BMW, Aston Martin, Porsche, Saleen, Ferrari, and a host of other exotics. An exciting final 2007 GT race at Zolder saw Maserati, and the teams that race MC-12s, win all four titles in the FIA GT International Championship.
Maserati’s success is even more impressive as no other team has ever won three consecutive Team titles.
Maserati applied many of the same design elements of the MC-12 to develop their high performance convertible roadster; the Cambiocorsa Spyder. With features like the exotic 4.2L Ferrari-designed V-8 engine (a version of which is shared with the Ferrari F430), the signature F1 paddle-shift transmission (which it shares with the Ferrari Modena, Maranello, and all of the championship winning Ferrari Formula-One racers), and a beautiful hand-made leather interior representative of the finest Italian craftsmanship, the Cambiocorsa Spyder certainly lives up to the Tridente heritage of world dominating sports cars. This Cambiocorsa is owned and pampered by Angel Ewing, wife of MD-11 Capt Tom Ewing.
