[simonseys]

Isn't that the Maserati from ZR Auto?
EDIT ^ beat me to the punch

[Shlade]

Somebody tell Zahir his tail light is out

[revelations]

Haha, totally wouldnt have guessed Maserati.

[corsvette]

Cool spot! :thumbsup:

[revelations]

Just looked at specs:

only ~75 vehicles EVER made (2004-05)
E600,000 :eek:

To think it was out and about in that weather ....

[Graham_A_M]

^ Hooo-leee fuck.... I would have never guessed it was something of that specification. :eek:

[Mista Bob]

Shame they had to give it the "ZR treatment". Car looked a million times better when it was stock.

This. Why do they ruin so many exotics with their gaudy appearance packages?

that is not zr treatment, it is a one off edo competition mc12 corsa clone like the enzo zxx they made that zahir has. Only thing they do is throw 1000 stickers at it.

Is the Corsa a convert like the ZXX? I thought it was a real Corsa, 2 separate cars.

[Mista Bob]

I was under the impression that the real MC12 Corsa's would not be street legal. They also have a different wing on them.

I'm fairly sure it's just a convert, if you look at the mirrors and intake on better pictures they are a perfect match for the paint colour (in some shots it really stands out as they have a different 'finish' to them).
The wing also appears to be the same non-corsa one just a different colour now.

[rage2]

Figured it out. So there are 2 street legal MC12 Corsa's, one black, and one orange. The ZR car is a normal MC12 with mods.

The ZR car was just made to look like #2, that's where the confusion came from.

Did they park like that because they were to cheap to splurge for some Park Plus tickets?

[GotRice?]

I see what they did there. it's pretty much like buying a 323i and putting a M badge on there:dunno:

The ZR car was just made to look like #2, that's where the confusion came from.

There's a lot of conflicting information floating aorund about those cars.

The real, legit MC12 Corsa is (like the FXX) not road-legal and was sold in the same manner as the FXX - purely a trackday car. None were road-legal and only 12 were produced.

At this point it gets iffy.

Some reports claim that Edo Competition then took one or two of the Corsas and somehow converted them to street-legality - your second link is one of those supposed converted Corsas from Edo, along with the ZR car.

Other reports say the black one in your first link is the only true street-legal Corsa (that Edo had nothing to do with) and that the Edo "Corsas" are all just regular MC12s with some mods and the "Corsa" name slapped on them. Also of note is that ZR's "Corsa" looks to have a stock MC12 interior instead of a real Corsa interior.

The third version is that the black one was legalized by one company, the first orange one was legalized by Edo, and then they modified a normal MC12 for ZR and stuck a Corsa badge on it anyway.

Even the press releases are inconsistent. I agree with you that the third version is most likely.

wow, it looks so much better all black. insane.

Jesus Murphy... That's gaudy.

They do all that, and they still manage to fuck up something as simple as a transmission build on a Mazda:

Note the word clone. It's not worth anywhere near a real Corsa.

Like you I was initially confused and thought the orange car you posted was the ZR car. It's not.

MC12's seem to list for $1-1.3m depending on condition. I dunno if the Edo mods make it more or less expensive. Dunno supercar markets at all.

Isn't there only one of these Edo ones?
The video they have is racing the ring with the zahir's enzo zxx?

No, there are two orange MC12 Corsas that apparently came from Edo. The one in the for-sale link appears to be a real Corsa converted to street legality. The one in the video is a clone based on a normal MC12.

That is what I meant as they converted one MC12 into a corsa clone like zahirs enzo which is an fxx clone.

[BavarianBeast]

That mini they got looks sick! Haha.

Everything from ZR is so overpriced, I swear to god it's all a front for Zahir's cocaine business.
