Maserati MC12 Corsa Screaming V12 Engine & Accelerations at Imola Circuit!

With this video we go back to the 2018 Historic Minardi Day, an event born in 2016 in order to celebrate the Minardi F1 team after 10 years from its last F1 season. In the following years it have become more a two-days motorsport festival where old Formula cars could "stretch their legs" on track together with GT race cars, prototypes and supercars during specific sessions.
In addition to this, some sportscar/supercar manufacturers can bring one of their models at this event and offer passenger rides to public or VIPs.
That year Maserati was there with a Granturismo S and this Maserati MC12 Versione Corsa (passenger ride on which it would have been reserved to Maserati customers and people inside Maserati, I think) driven by Andrea Bertolini, probably the driver who knows the MC12 best, being the official test driver and FIA GT and GT1 World champion with this car for 4 years (2006, 2008, 2009 and 2010). But be careful: the MC12 Versione Corsa isn't the actual GT1 race car. The so called 'Corsa', like the one in this video, is the track-only MC12 built in just 15 examples (12 for private customers plus other 3 for testing and marketing purposes). It's basically the Maserati 'XX' car if you want to make a comparison with Ferrari and their XX Programmes.
It was directly developed from the 2005 MC12 GT1 but compared to this the Ferrari 6.0-litre V12 engine on the Corsa is without intake restrictors (as instead required by the technical regulations of the FIA GT) so it can deliver more power, reaching 755 hp at 8,000 rpm, a whopping 125 hp more than the race engine, limited to 630 hp. Another big difference between the two is the gearbox: the GT1 has a 6-speed sequential gearbox, the Versione Corsa has a 6-speed “Maserati Cambiocorsa” semiautomatic transmission (that's why it sounds so slow and in that way compared to the faster GT1 sequential). Basically the upshifts sound and the steering wheels + interiors are what allow you to distinguish the two racing variants of the MC12.
In this brief video you can enjoy some accelerations and a lap onboard around Imola Circuit. Unfortunately this could have been a whole better and longer video if the MC12 Corsa hadn't had a power steering and upshifting issues who forced Andrea to make just four laps during the whole weekend and not being able to push as he would have liked.

Uh, how do you know how that gearbox is working? He's not racing it properly, it's a joy ride and he's purposefully accelerating and decelerating at the safe points on the track, he's not going for it! And he's probably easing the gearbox for a reason, cost possibly? 🙄🤦

Yep. Filming it on smartphone, with the video shaking in all directions and introducing blur, instead of enjoying the race. Since it's being filmed by a fixed professional camera. Really can't understand that way of thinking. No brain at all. They said that smartphones will one day be smarter than humans. And they were right. We all thought that new generations of phones will get smarter. But what happened is that new generations of humans got stupider. And now phones are smarter than (new generation of) humans.

Wow I remember seeing this car inside a shop in Paris. It was stunning to see. I cant believe they put such a bad gearbox in such a expensive track toy however. You could see the frustration of Bertolini when the car wouldn’t do as he said.

I realize that Hybrids & Electric is the future but man that's what all engines should sound like.

[@rodrigofonseca1160]

Future of what? Lots of technologies come around and the old ones are still the best. Imagine seeing plastic violins and thinking "they are new, so they must be the future", while wooden classic violins still produce the best sound by far. ICE will still be the best engine for sports. While I'm eager to have an electric car to go around, I'll (most probably) never watch a heartless souless electric race with any enthusiasm, as all elements which make a race fun are taken out of the equation. Hybrids are very fun though.

[@TheLogitech91]

@@rodrigofonseca1160 You have your opinion however, vehicle manufacturer's and countries disagree with you. If you're right why isn't F1 still running v12s or v10s. Vehicle manufacturer will not be able to meet emission regulation without electric or Hybrid vehicles. How is the ICE a better when most are only not even 30% efficient. Mercedes F1 team was only just now able to achieve 50% efficiency on the gas portion of their F1 engine. How is an ICE better if it only uses 50% of energy of the gasoline sprayed into the combustion chamber? Why is the AMG 7 liter V12 obsolete? Only boutique manufacturer's like Pagani use if and even they have gone to Huayra.

[@rodrigofonseca1160]

@@TheLogitech91 Better for competition mate. Competition is not just about being the "best" or the most efficient, but creating the conditions to make the parameters challenging and unpredictable. There are hundreds of racing categories, and I'm sure we will get more and more electrical in the future, but right now I'd rather watch paint dry. The only thing they have that is interesting is instant acceleration, and that is extremely boring for racing, it takes away the finesse that the cars demand from drivers. We have cars, and yet we marvel at Usain Bolt competing with his legs. We have the most lethal guns, and yet the olympics is all about simple bow and arrows and the finesse they demand. I'm not talking about transport vehicles, because then let's face it, Combustion AND Electric cars are both shit, Mass Transit is the only real solution for the environment, I'm talking about the art of competion and sports, which is entertainment. When it comes to entertainment, it has never been about efficiency, it has always been about what get us hooked, it doesn't matter how rational it is (Video games comes to mind, useless projections of virtual reality, but hey they are fun for people who enjoy them).
