2008 Maserati Edo Competition MC12 Corsa

Saturday, May 24th, 2008

Edo recently filed to have its fully track ready MC12 Corsa labeled and approved for street use.

Recently Team Polizei shipped both of their notorious M5s to London to celebrate the release of the book The Driver… and that’s not all they did.
