Most tuning companies set their sights on reasonably commonplace machinery as a starting point for their mechanical and aesthetic excesses.
However, not so the German firm of Edo Competition which decided that Maserati didn’t do quite good enough a job with its ultra-exclusive MC12 Corsa, of which just 12 have been offered to customers on an invitation only basis.
Having pummelled the opposition in the FIA GT championship, Maserati took the opportunity for a celebratory limited edition of its Ferrari Enzo based supercar. Limited to track-use only, the Corsa’s 6.0-litre V12 offered 745bhp compared to the standard roadgoing MC12’s 623bhp and 546lb/ft of torque as opposed to 481lb/ft. With just 1150kg to propel, Edo wisely decided that enough was enough in the power department and instead concentrated on fettling the suspension, exhaust and braking systems, claiming that even extreme sports cars like the Corsa need finishing touches. So in goes a bespoke KW suspension system with fully adjustable compression and rebound damping settings, allowing for different ride characteristics for low and high speed work.
The standard trick hydraulics which raise the nose of the MC12 for clearing obstacles are retained. Out go the Corsa’s steel and carbon brakes in favour of ceramic composite rotors, 14.2 inches in the rear and a whopping 15.6 inches up front, covered by specially forged lightweight wheels. The car will also sound as good as it looks thanks to a bespoke stainless steel exhaust system which exits through four, four-inch tailpipes. A remote control unit allows the driver to alter the sound levels – from “apocalyptic” to merely “earth-shattering” presumably. The really exciting, or perhaps terrifying, prospect for potential owners however is the news that Edo is working on making the car fully road legal.

I personally don't think Edo will manage to get it fully road legal. Should be a fantastic experience , for the privileged few.
But the bodykit looks amazing, I'm pretty sure this thing goes like stink 
) etc at our trackdays.
