Recorded by our friends at Belgian Motorsport, the MC12 Corse pair provide an aural massage the likes of which only a V12 can offer. Having said that, the other cars in the video (a Ferrari 333SP, Lamborghini Gallardo Super Trofeo, Dallara SP1, Vantage GT4 and so on) aren’t exactly quiet.
Why are we such big fans of the MC12, besides the noise? Well it was the Ferrari Enzo’s step sister, which many thought made it the poor relation. But in addition to the 12 racing cars only 50 road-going examples were made, compared to the 400 (depending on who you ask) Enzos that left the factory. It’s also a prettier car, to my eyes at least, and over the years we’ve seen various MC12s fly up the Hill at the Festival of Speed presented by Mastercard. The sound of the MC12 Corsa Cent is still ringing fresh in our ears, while the video of Michael Bartels oversteering everywhere in an MC12 GT1 is something we will never forget.
Anyway, back to Le Mans. Whack up the volume, this is a good one.
Welcome to Goodwood Elevenses, a mid-morning helping of motoring-related amusement to help break up your day. Watch the last video: Throwing a Chevron around Dijon looks immense
