I was watching Top Gear this morning, and they're test driving a new Ascari, but I noticed something during a camera shot.
This season, the Enzo is not at the top of their power board laptimes. It appears as though this, the Maserati MC12
![[Image: mc12_taglioant_open_hi_G.jpg]](http://www.maserati.com/esImages/Maserati/20040301/mc12_taglioant_open_hi_G.jpg)
is at the top of the list, beating the Enzo's laptime by .1 seconds.
Andrew, me thinks we found you a new midlife crisis car...

What isn't?
As for getting a MC12 well I think that they only make 25 road cars a year to meet the minimum FIA requirement. Then there is that nasty money business and all.

^--- who cares?
Was that the same episode where they had the guy drive it in the snow and hit a wall (slowish) and cracked the wing. No wait that was Fifth Gear I think. Anyway, I really have to give it to the guy, he drove the car all the way from his house, to the study, in the snow and bad weather. Than around the track. And then home again (with the broken wing). Atleast he's out there driving the car and it's not just on display.
I wonder how much it cost to repair the wing heh.

I thought it was identical except for the body and interior. But maybe I'm wrong.

All the current Maserati road cars use Ferrari engines, making the Coupe an absolute steal (relatively speaking) at about $100G.

That Maserati looks a LOT like the F50, as Burnin noted.
With that said, I love the F50 but can't get my head around the Maserati. And it's such a bargain, too.

yeah, I've noticed that BBC Canada shows last year's top gear, but the full 1 hour episode (complete with the news, celebrity laps in the Top Gear econo-car)...
and BBC world shows the current season, but only the half-hour test drive portion.
