Enzo GT

What do you know about ?
Some people think that it is the new Maserati 6000 GT rebadged as a Maserati.

It's photoshopped

No I dont think so. It was official test by Ferrari at Monza in july. There is some other pics around the web.

It's not photoshopped, i have a high-res pic. Note that it's using Pirelli tyres. But I have no information on it at all.

Real or fake, I hope they use a different wing design. It sticks up way to high for my liking, kinda ricey.

Big spoilers on race cars most of the time are necessary. Therefore, I don't consider them to ever look ricey.

I dont think it needs to be that big with the down force is alredy got....

that picture looks kind of fake.

"Maserati are to build a supercar based on Ferrari's new F1-technology derived Enzo. It is believed that the project, to be known as the 6000GT, is significantly advanced and should be launched by the end of next year. The car will be a virtual clone of the Enzo, being expected to make use of the 660 bhp 6.0-litre V12 engine and F1-style gearbox.
The project's schedule is being pushed by Maserati's tight schedule of using the 6000GT to enter sportscar racing in 2004. Next year Maserati will begin race development testing with an Enzo chassis, while the first prototype 6000GT will hit the tracks later in the year. The race project is around six months down the line, and will move into a brand new purpose-built unit on the Modena site before Christmas. Maserati will field a factory team, while selling customer examples.

The 6000GT will probably see a production run around the same as the Enzo's 399 units. With the Enzo's original production run being extended from 349 to 399 cars to try to satisfy demand, it is expected that the large number of potential customers who have not been catered for will be channelled towards the Maserati. The 6000GT will be a much more polished and luxurious car than the no-compromise Enzo, and will be targeted at the US to assist in raising Maserati's profile as the marque revises upwards its sales targets for North America."

It has a yellow badge.

drifter350 I hope dearly that you are right. If you are, this will be the ultimate car ever, par none. However, will this just an aerodynamics alteration or will they tune the 660 bhp V12 to higher power and cut weight as well?

this is the 6000 GT by Maserati:

Codenamed MCC(Maserati Corse Competizione) is known as GT to compete with another tops racer. has 620hp+5998cc 12V engine and applied to carbon fibre chassis, and combined mechanism of enzo for regulation of FIA and added aerodynamic body kits as you see,reduced weight to 1100kg. this weight is almost simular to Mclaren F1,
Which is all i know.

i think the 6000gt and the one that started this thread are different cars. at least they look like it cuz the 6000gt looks nothing like the "enzo".

Absolutely, the pics that started this thread were either photoshopped or modified enzos. THough with no other source of info, the fact that the original pics were called the 6000GT is not surprising. I wonder if this will make a production run?

Sounds like the Enzo in the first few pictures was just a prototype version of the Maserati racer. If it makes it into production I doubt it'll be quicker than the Enzo as it'll probably be more luxurious and therefore heavier. Can't wait to see it though!

Really? To me it looks like th 6000GT will be more stripped down, bare bones, track car. I could be wrong but just from the exterior looks, it doesn't seem like a street puppy.

I don't see Ferrari allowing Maserati to upstage the Enzo with a lighter, more powerful, (better looking?) version of it's own supercar. Since the Enzo is Ferrari's idea of the ultimate bare bones track car for the road, why would they let Maserati build a faster road car? I'm sure any street version of the 6000GT won't look quite as savage as the one in the pics above...

I don't know, is the 6000GT meant for the LM or is it going to be made production? If it is LM, then it most certainly must upstage the Enzo.

On the 12 january at Fiorano saw the track debut of the Maserati that will take part in the FIA GT Championships. The car, which for the time being goes by its project code name of MCC, will be launched at the forthcoming International Geneva Motor Show, alongside the Trident marque’s new road-going Granturismo car, the MCS, from which it is closely derived. The two cars were designed in a joint operation between the Maserati engineers and those of the Modena company’s racing department under the technical direction of engineer, Giorgio Ascanelli.

The Ferrari-Maserati Group’s race test driver, Andrea Bertolini is now developping the new car.

During these tests at Fiorano circuit, the MCC goes faster than the Ferrari 333 SP or F50 GT and Enzo as well !!!

Waiting for Geneva Auto Show to see the MCS !!! Some rumors said that would be a limited production only 25 cars !

excellent :iceslolan thanks for the info.

Then what was the car in the original pics?

A real Enzo on test at Fiorano last summer. But for what ? I don't know, because Ferrari will never enter the FIA GT Championship. Because if they don't reach their objectives, it's not good for the trade. And they don't have enough money and time to be the best in Formula One and FIA GT Championships.
It is the reason why Maserati will take part at the second part of the 2004 FIA GT Championship and then the others I hope. If they loose, it is not Ferrari, just Maserati !

from what i know the original pictures are of a enzo chassis that maserati were playing round with, i assume with the engine and the setup. It said in the report where the photos are found the Maserati GT racer would change the apperance of its racer but still look slightly like an enzo. That is the Maserati 6000GT. Personly i thinks it is pants, absolute pile or crap. But hopefully ferrari wont miss the oportunity of turning their best supercar yet into a GT racer. They didnt with the F50 despite it never racing. I would like to see the future Ferrari Enzo GT lower to the ground, keeping the same style of alloys at 19 x 13 inch, a large rear wing like that of the mercededs benz clk gtr racer and only seen the maranelo red!! : )

I don't know if Ferrari will produce such a car cockrocket, but I wouldn't be surprised if we eventually see Koenig do something of the sorts...

Realy? Do tell if you know something i dont, or should i just go to the keonigsegg forum?

but there is not one..so i will wait for the reply here!

No no, I don't mean koenigsegg the swedish company, I mean the supercar tuners, Koenig www.koenig-specials.com (http://www.koenig-specials.com)

Sorry for the confusion. Anyway, it'll be at least one or two years before anything of the sort happens, unless Koenig works very quickly.

i get ya. like the koenig F50 which is FAST AS FCUK!

i so cant wait till koenig gets their hands on the enzo. when i first read the enzo performance numbers, i was like, damn, those are fast, then i turned to my friend and said, i cant wait till koenig gets their hands on the enzo! both of us just had a smirk on our face.

Although if the person who first gets their enzo modified by Koenig still uses it as a road car, i'll rip them a new one. That car belongs on the track

but you have to drive it on the streets and sneak up on the unexpecting..........every car on the road.

but you have to drive it on the streets and sneak up on the unexpecting..........every car on the road.
Yeah, because Enzos are always sneaking up on me. I always forget how fast they are when I see them on the street. It gets me every time....

are you being sarcastic? if you are, i thought it was pretty funny. but yeah, they really cant sneak up one you. oh well, it was just a figure of speach.

I don't know, the Enzo's a surprisingly quiet car...

unless you can't hear, see, feel it presence... :uhoh:

anybody got better pics??

anybody got better pics??

If you want better pics of the 6000GT (the pics I posted earlier) then look at the Feb issue of evo (it might have been march actually) or some recent issues of Road and track. Otherwise check the Maserati website, I'm sure they'll have some.

As for the riced enzo, this is the first place that I have seen those so sorry, can't help you there...

Oh yeah, in case someone here hasn't read any car mags for the last month or two, the Maserati 6000GT will be sold as a homolagation car under the name of the MC12 and will cost something just south of $1,000,000

If you ask me ferrari desnt need to enter in anymore race leagues there dominating in f1 and if they want to enter in any more leagues they should enter there ferrari 333 sp! only 21 built thats exclusive! not 399 enzo's. hehehe.

its real, a friend of my uncle was there in italy, watching that enzo gt, but this is an prototype(gladly)

As we are speaking this Enzo GT is located at the Corse Clienti, where Ferrari keeps all the old Ferrari racing cars. It was rumored the car was for sale during the summer but it is still at the Corse Clienti right now.
