2007 is a big year for Maserati — a year of important anniversaries not only for the standard production (3500 GT), but also as far as racing is concerned.

Fifty years ago, Juan Manuel Fangio won the F1 world championship title at the wheel of the Maserati 250 F. Today, Maserati is still a star of GT races. It ended the international championship FIA GT 2006 by winning the drivers’ title with Andrea Bertolini and Michael Bartels, the team championship with the Vitaphone Racing Team, and with a second consecutive victory at the world renowned Spa 24 hour race. The Playteam also won the Italian GT championship with Giambattista Giannoccaro and Toni Vilander.

The goal for 2007 is to continue this winning sequence which began with the debut of the MC12 in 2004. There will be six Maseratis lined up, driven by the Playteam, Vitaphone Racing Team and JMB Racing.
To demonstrate the technological excellence and enormous potential of Maserati as a manufacturer of dream cars, we should point out that the MC12 Versione was derived from the MC12 GT1, of which only 12 were produced.
