  • Date: 6 December 2010 Bertolini and Bartels Clinch with the MC12 the FIA
    Date: 6 December 2010 Bertolini and Bartels clinch with the MC12 the FIA GT1 World Title Modena, December 6 2010. Fifth Drivers’ title and sixth Team’s title in six seasons for the Maserati MC12 in the international FIA GT Championship - World Championship from this year. Leading actors in Maserati’s 2010 success are once again (the fourth time) the Bertolini- Bartels crew and the German Vitaphone Racing Team: sixth title in six years. Maserati’s success story in the FIA GT Championship started in late 2004 when the MC12 competed in four races, outside of the ranking. Success came early as Maserati picked up its first victory in the second race it entered with Bertolini-Salo. From the following season Maserati joined forces with the Vitaphone Racing Team, flanked in 2005 by JMB and in 2007 by PlayTeam. From 2005 to date, Maserati has struck with the MC12 both its targets, the Drivers’ and Teams’ titles, on every occasion with the single exception of the first time around, when Bertolini- Wendlinger, fielded by the JMB team and heading up the ranking until then, saw the championship victory slip through their fingers in the last race due to a transmission problem which was unprecedented on the car and has since failed to reoccur. Reliability and competitiveness are the two key factors in Maserati’s prolonged series of successes. If the MC12 has been able to stay on top for many years, despite significant changes in the technical regulations, this is due to the fact that the car comes without innate flaws, with a highly rigid carbon fibre monocoque chassis, excellent weight distribution between front and rear, equally excellent aerodynamic balance and a very low centre of gravity.

  • 5 December 2006 World Preview of the Maserati MC12 Versione Corse
    Date: 5 December 2006 World Preview of the Maserati MC12 Versione Corse Making its début at the Bologna Motor Show is the Maserati MC12 Versione Corse, a car designed to offer a highly select clientele the chance to try their hand at driving one of the most extreme supercars now available on the market. The MC12 Versione Corse is based on the MC12 GT1 which won the FIA GT1 Manufacturers' Championship in 2005, the Team Championship in 2005 and 2006, the Drivers' Championship in 2006, and two consecutive editions of the Spa 24 Hours, in 2005 and 2006. The main differences between the two vehicles are: the 755 horsepower (MC12 Versione Corse) compared to the 600 horsepower (MC12 GT1), electro-hydraulic Cambiocorsa in the Versione Corse compared to the manual gear change in the GT1, the passenger seat in addition to the driver's seat fitted to the Versione Corse.

  • Maserati Birdcage 75Th Concept 2010
    Birdcage 75th Page 1 of 4 http://www.maserati.com/maserati/en/en/index/models/Concept -Car/Birdcage -75th.html 4/12/2010 Birdcage 75th Page 2 of 4 Birdcage 75th With the Birdcage 75th, based on the Maserati heritage and on its most advanced mechanics and realized in collaboration with Motorola, Pininfarina revives the storied theme of the true dream car now proposed in a synthesis of the vision of the three companies: exclusive design, sports DNA and technological innovation. For 2005, in celebration of its 75th anniversary, Pininfarina has chosen to rekindle creative spirit. The Birdcage 75th is a concept of a road car where everything – style, performance, use and conception of the car – is extreme so as to get the maximum impact on the collective imagination. The car is a futuristic extension of the Maserati brand, and at the same time it serves to reinforce the Tridente’s potent design heritage, and continues its grand tradition of advanced technology enveloped in sporting elegance. Integrating some Motorola technologies make the ‘seamless mobility’ vision real, or the fluidity of the technologies as a subsequent stage of the Internet revolution. Concept The Birdcage 75th, in homage to the spirit of the dream car era, is based on the road racing chassis of the Maserati MC12 and seeks to capture the ultimate expression of speed, sensuality and elegance – to create a functional and dynamic automotive sculpture. The contrast struck between its organic fluidity and the severe tension of its mechanicals, creates a dynamism seldom realized. The clear goal of breaking away from traditional styling solutions and creating a coherent and unique visual experience, led to a particularly innovative integration of the exterior and interior design and construction.

    Date: 3 December 2008 Maserati at the Bologna Motorshow under the flag of its sporty DNA The MC Sport Line customization program focuses on the racing vocation of the Maserati, fresh from its latest international triumph in the FIA GT championship with the duo Bertolini-Bartels in the land of Juan Manuel Fangio. Modena - December 3, 2008. Maserati has developed a special series of new options named "MC Sport Line", which makes its worldwide debut at the Bologna Motor Show, with new contents that add to Maserati's already extensive range of personalized features on offer. The MC Sport Line is designed to enhance the sporty DNA of Maserati vehicles for those customers who like to display their passion for racing through a dynamic look and a choice of technical solutions that increase the driving fun without compromises. The name "MC Sport Line" sums up the experience acquired on the track by the Maserati Corse department, whose contribution to the design of the functional components has been invaluable. The world of motor racing also inspired Maserati's designers when it came to styling, hence the extensive use of carbon fiber, very popular among racing enthusiasts thanks to its direct connection with racing competitions. The GranTurismo S, the ultimate expression of Maserati performance on roads, was the model chosen to present to the public the first proposals of the "MC Sport Line" catalogue, which will be extended in the GranTurismo range and then cover the entire Maserati line-up during the course of 2009. From early 2009, GranTurismo S customers will not only be able to enhance the sporty look of their vehicle's exterior and interior - but even offer mechanical solutions.

  • 6Th Overall and 1St in SPX Class It Was a Flawless Race for Tsunami RT and Extremely Rewarding
    #12 ALESSIO ROVERA R TSUNAMI RT PORSCHE CARRERA CUP ITALIA MEDIA RELEASE 2017 CHAMPIONS www.tsunami-rt.com Media Release #02.2018 15 January 2018 Dubai 24 Hours Race 6th overall and 1st in SPX class It was a flawless race for Tsunami RT and extremely rewarding. The Ukrainian team with the Manthey-Racing developed Porsche 911 GT3 Cup in the black/white/red colours of RACEFOR.LIFE foundation, took the flag in 6th position overall and 1st by far in the SPX class, after 593 laps and 3196 kms at 133 km/h in 24 racing hours and 2 minutes. The 24H Dubai race was the first major motorsport event of the 2018 calendar. It was comparably smooth running this year with few accidents and limited retirements. Of the 89 participants at the starting grid, 80 were classified. 66 cars took the flag after 24 hours and 14 more were classified as DNF, having covered at least 60% of the race distance. The Tsunami RT Porsche 911 GT3 Cup MR with the No 37 was driven by four drivers from three different nationalities: Côme Ledogar from France (McLaren factory driver, Carrera Cup France and Italy champion), Alessio Rovera from Italy (Carrera Cup Italia 2017 champion with Tsunami) and two experienced drivers from Ukraine - Andrii Kruglyk and Oleksandr Gaidai. The Ukrainian team raced with a car prepared especially for endurance events by German developer Manthey-Racing with brand new colours for supporting RACEFOR.LIFE initiative, which is dedicated to the children with cancer. The Tsunami RT Porsche 911 started the race from 37th (5th in the SPX class) but soon climbed in the classification sheet despite penalties taken for a violation of the new Dynamic BOP (Balance of Performance) system, which has been introduced in the 24H series this year for various car classes, including SPX.
