Modena, 12th January, 2004 - Today at Fiorano saw the track debut of the Maserati that will take part in the FIA GT championships. The car, which for the time being goes by its project code name of MCC, will be launched at the forthcoming International Geneva Motor Show, alongside the Trident marque's new road-going Granturismo car, the MCS, from which it is closely derived.

The two cars were designed in a joint operation between the Maserati engineers and those of the Modena company's racing department under the technical direction of engineer, Giorgio Ascanelli.

'This is a very important programme for Maserati, which the Racing Department has tackled with great enthusiasm ,' stated Gestione Sportiva Managing Director, Jean Todt. 'Today, we have witnessed the MCC's track debut and as usual on these occasions, it was a really emotional moment .'

The MCC, short for Maserati Corse Competizione, has carbon fibre construction which offers a low weight of 1100 kgs. A 620 horsepower V12, displacing 5998 cc sits in the center of this chassis. This setup has been completing 1:12 times around the Forano Circuit. Compare this to the Enzo which achieves 1:22 on a good day, and with street tires.

His leaving marks the end of an era in motor racing that he has defined by his mere presence.
