Zahir wants 1! If you look on the side of the MC12 on the 2nd pic, you can make out the Canadian flag & Zahir Rana's name.

Who is Zahir Rana? I am pretty sure there’s no need to tell you that, but just in case he is the owner of ZR Auto Exotic Sales and Performance Centre. Between many other exotics cars he owns there is the Ferrari Enzo, that seems to be his favorite one. According to the guys from Edo Competition he might be the owner of the nr. 8 of only 12 Maserati MC 12 Corsa race cars in the world.

Edo competition is certain: The MC 12 Corsa will find a new owner soon. Will it be Zahir Rana?
The doors already display the Canadian flag and the driver’s name “Zahir Rana”. Edo Karabegovic was trying to surprise him with this treat.

WorldCarFans.com - Original Article (http://www.worldcarfans.com/9080312.005/edo-maserati-mc12-corsa-on-the-road)


Maserati has built just 12 copies of the Maserati MC12 Corsa, a 755 bhp track-version of the Maserati MC12 priced at Euro 1.4 million, and German tuning house Edo Competition has one of them. Edo Karabegovic, founder of Edo Competition, has made the MC12 Corsa road-legal resulting in an absolutely unique super car. Our test driver extra-ordináire Nick Hall took the car for a spin last year, and said: “Seeing it was good, but driving it, well this might just be the ultimate test drive of the fastest weapon on the road today.”

What better way to show you what he meant than with actual test drive footage shot a little over a month ago in Ahlen, Germany. Zahir Rana of Canada, sports car dealer of ZR Auto Sales in Calgary, was the lucky man to sit in the passenger seat while Edo himself drove. Edo has held the Nordschleife lap record for street-legal cars and has worked on pretty much every super car.

The Edo MC12 Corsa is capable of hitting 100 km/h from standstill in under 3 seconds and 0 – 200 km/h in less than 7 seconds. This particular MC12 Corsa has a specially designed KW sport suspension with nose-lift functionality, ceramic-composite braking system, high-flow exhaust system, new performance wheels (19 inch in front, 20 inch in the rear), temperature controlled radiator fans, and immobilizer, lighting system and a horn.

Brown guys look funny in cowboy boots.

That's all I have to say about Zahir.

His car collection is what dreams are made of though.

I'm not sure about Zahir buying that Corsa. It's not street legal.

But I heard the edo Competition tuning package was recently delivered for our local MC12.

Correct... the Corsa is a track only car, and only run by Maserati at their own events. That's it. It's like the FXX.

With this sort of an investment lets hope it motivates him and some of his friends to help build another track.

The MC12 Corsa that Edo has is actually street legal. Edo modified it so it would be.

Not according to what I've heard. As far as I know, he moved here from London, England - before that, he was growing up in Kenya.

I'd just like to point out that in one of the articles, it says that his Enzo has 660 bhp. It's now at 700 :)
Went to ZR today, and that Enzo has some amazing new modifications on it. Cold air intake, refined suspension, recalibrated ECU, etc.

looks nice, but would be better if it was in another color.
