Most cars are built to go fast. This one was also built to remember. Maserati took a GT2 Stradale through its Fuoriserie personalization program and turned it into a one-off rolling tribute to the MC12, the race car that brought the Trident back to international GT racing in style. The collector who ordered it got a fitting debut too, with the car parked right next to an MC12 at Villa La Massa Excellence 2026, a concours d’elegance held on a historic estate along the Arno River just outside Florence.
- Maserati built a one-off GT2 Stradale for a collector through its Fuoriserie program, finished in a metallic Blu Victory livery inspired by the MC12.
- Andrea Bertolini, who won the 2010 FIA GT1 World Championship in an MC12, signed the engine bay at the owner’s request.
- The car appeared alongside an MC12 at the fourth Villa La Massa Excellence, held October 16 to 18, 2026.
How a Fuoriserie Commission Comes Together
Fuoriserie is Maserati’s personalization program, and it runs on what the brand calls co-creation. A client brings specific requests, and Maserati’s creative team builds the car around them. That can cover bodywork, interior trim, finishes and equipment.
This build started with a conversation between the owner and the factory. Take the colors that won the MC12 its championships and put them on a modern road car without making it look like a costume.
Blu Victory Paint and Plenty of Racing Clues
The main color is a metallic Blu Victory, picked to mark the titles the MC12 won in the World GT1 Championship. Up top, a large Bianco Pastello trident sits on a matte carbon roof. That same white shows up again in the Maserati lettering on the rear wing.
The racing nods keep coming once you look closer. A white number plate carries the Italian flag, the word “Italy” and the number 33 in red. The black anodized center-lock wheels wear white emblems. Inside, blue Alcantara covers the cabin, and tridents stitched in black sit on the headrests.
Then there’s the detail that makes this car personal. The client asked for Andrea Bertolini to sign the engine bay, and he did it himself. Bertolini is Maserati’s Reference Driver and Racing Advisor, and he drove the MC12 through its title-winning years. He also won the 2010 FIA GT1 World Championship behind its wheel.
Why the MC12 Still Means So Much
It’s easy to see why a collector would want to honor this car. The MC12 marked Maserati’s return to international GT racing after 37 years away, and it didn’t ease back in quietly. Between 2004 and 2010, it piled up 22 victories and 14 titles. That haul included two Constructors’ Cups, five Drivers’ Championships and six Team Championships.
Spa was its playground. The MC12 won the 24 Hours of Spa three times, in 2005, 2006 and 2008, which is a record for that race. It also finished second there in 2007 and 2009.
The Road Car Under the Tribute
The GT2 Stradale makes a lot of sense as the base for this project. It’s the road-homologated version of the Maserati GT2 race car, which brought the Trident back to winning form in closed-wheel championships. So the racing theme on this car has real competition history behind it.
Maserati builds the car at its historic Viale Ciro Menotti plant in Modena. Power comes from the Nettuno V6, rated at 631 horsepower. Independent estimates put the 0 to 60 mph run at about 2.8 seconds, with a top speed close to 200 mph. Maserati calls it the most performance-focused road car it has ever built. That claim leans on weight savings and aerodynamics developed on the track.
A Weekend That Linked Two Racing Eras
The plan at Villa La Massa didn’t stop at a static display. On October 17, both the MC12 and the GT2 Stradale Fuoriserie were scheduled to join the Car Show and Contest in the villa’s gardens. On October 18, the GT2 Stradale was set to head to the Mugello Track Experience, which is a fitting place for a car built with track lessons in mind.
For fans, this one-off shows how far a personalization program can go when an owner has a clear story to tell. Paint, trim and wheels are part of it. But the strongest touches here are the ones tied to real history, like the number 33 plate, the Blu Victory color and a champion’s signature under the hood.
