i don't think the MC12 absolutley needed the Roof Scoop. Maserati chose to give up rear visibility and put a roof scoop for the engine's intake. The MC12 uses the Enzo's engine, but the Enzo doesn't use a roof scoop. The Enzo gets its air from the huge side intakes. Therefore it still has rear visibility. but The MC12 also has massive side intakes, I'm 90% sure they could have used those for the intake air like the Enzo did. But then again, you can't have a Maserati beating the ultimate Ferrari.
