Maserati Revives Its Spa-Winning MC12 Livery On A One-Off GT2 Stradale

Maserati's Fuoriserie personalization arm has turned out another one-off, and this time the inspiration comes straight from the brand's racing archives. Dubbed the 'Tribute to MC12,' this custom GT2 Stradale was built for a collector in Taiwan and channels the look of the legendary Vitaphone Racing MC12 GT1 car that dominated European GT racing in the mid-2000s.

That reference point isn't a random choice. The Vitaphone-run MC12 won the 24 Hours of Spa outright in 2005, 2006, and 2008, and came heartbreakingly close with second-place finishes in 2007 and 2009. It remains one of the most successful chapters in Maserati's modern motorsport history, and reviving its identity on a current-generation supercar gives the GT2 Stradale a genuine link to the brand's competition pedigree rather than just a flashy paint job.

To pull it off, Fuoriserie teamed up with Centro Stile and Maserati's Modena-based engineering group. The result is a two-tone scheme mixing deep Nero Essenza black with a Matte Digital Mint hue and sharp Giallo Avia Pervia yellow accents. Enthusiasts may recognize the mint-and-yellow combo from the MC20 Leggenda special edition launched in 2024, and more recently from the track-only MCXtrema that appeared at this year's Maserati International Rally in Spa-Francorchamps. This marks the first time that specific palette has made its way onto the GT2 Stradale.

Beyond the paint, the car gets gloss carbon fiber aerodynamic pieces, center-lock wheels finished in Anodized Black, and yellow brake calipers that tie the exterior theme together. Step inside and the tribute continues with black Alcantara racing seats featuring yellow Trident emblems stitched into the headrests, plus four-point harnesses pulled from the Performance Plus package. Yellow contrast stitching runs across the steering wheel, dashboard, center console, and door panels, all set against carbon fiber trim and a dedicated 'Tribute to MC12' badge marking the car's one-off status.

Mechanically, nothing has changed from the regular GT2 Stradale that debuted in August 2024. The car still relies on Maserati's twin-turbo 3.0-liter Nettuno V6, good for 631 hp and 720 Nm of torque, sent to the rear axle via an eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox. The exclusivity here lies entirely in the styling and the story behind it, not in any performance upgrade.

Fittingly, the handover took place at Maserati's historic Viale Ciro Menotti headquarters in Modena, where the new owner picked up the car in person. The experience included a private factory tour, a drive through Emilia's famed Motor Valley, and a visit to the Umberto Panini Collection, ensuring the delivery was as memorable as the car itself.
