    Super-rare car, AND here's the Designer... wow, incredible stuff guys thank you. I laughed when you mentioned the toolkit is in the nose section... which itself requires 3 people to access it. Only an Italian car would have that feature! Look forward to the Enzo Users Guide, thank you!

    I worked at a Toyota dealership in the 2000s. We specialized in collector cars in our used car department, why, because we were car guys 😊 We had bought a really nice 72 Monte Carlo and had it shipped to us inclosed carrier. I asked the driver if he had anything neat inside his trailer... he said yeah, a couple of Maserati's going to Texas to DOT approved for the USA. He opened a side door and there was not 1, not 2, but 5 MC12's in his trailer ??? All brand new !! I will never forget that day !!

    Three towering giants in their respective fields; James, Mr. Stephenson, and the MC 12. It is weighty proof that for a person with Frank’s stature to be interviewed by James says it all....we are spoiled for content. Another excellent video. Best 28 minutes I spend all day. These, ‘users guides’ are Master classes and much fun. What are going to do from here, James?

    Amazing car and amazing guest. When I first saw this car I felt in love. What a design and painting!!! Much more nice than an Enzo.

    Between all of the UA-cam channels I follow I must have 3-4 hours of uploads to get through a day. This series on this channel however must be my all time favourite. You learn SO much about these iconic cars, most of it stuff that’s hard to even find online when searching yourself. Most people might not even get chance to see one in person, so to have a very user friendly “user guide” for these cars it’s almost as if you have a 1-1 session with the car.

    I was at Ferrari Maserati North America for this stretch, got to spend much time with Frank, who's a lovely guy. We brought the Corsa to IMSA for 2005- the tires killed us, but the crowds and even the competition liked seeing the car on track. At Sebring, our first time back since '57 as Factory Maserati, we brought a 450S and threw a nice party in the paddock early in the week. For a short period- from 2000-2005 the company was Gruppo Ferrari Maserati, under di Montezemolo. VERY special time for both brands and why Maserati lives today.

    Terrific video guide and I only wish I needed as a "user"! Great to have Frank discuss. My favorite GT race car of all time and loved when it raced in the Vitaphone livery. What a sound! Recommend the Petrolicious video on the Tube with British hot shoe Sam Hancock driving in anger! Thanks so much, James!

      I remember one time the car was fired up right in front of the main doors of the Hôtel de Crillon, in Paris. Apart from the fact that plenty of people complained and many others were shocked with the noise, the car exhaust literally generated wind inside the lobby. This is something no other car had ever done. The MC-12 is absolutely insane.

So now we're perfectly prepared if some super rich billionaire invites us into his garage. The first thing I would ask for is to check the oil and then watch his face when I let it run warm and then rev it up to 4,000 rpm... ;-)
