Edo Unleashes 800-HP Maserati MC 12XX

AHLEN, Germany — Confessing that it was "never very happy with the Maserati MC 12," German tuner Edo Competition has unleashed the Maserati MC 12XX. The aim of this iteration is to hit "Ferrari FXX power levels," Edo said.

Edo says it's a 170-hp boost over the Maserati MC 12R, thanks to FXX-like steel cylinder and piston, new Titan valve springs and connecting rods, new exhaust manifolds and a new clutch. The MC 12XX has a maximum speed of 242 mph.

Edo says that the volume of the exhaust is adjustable via a button and that the car is equipped with new Michelin racing wheels. The kit includes one-day testing with an instructor, data recording and hospitality on a racetrack.
