11.07.2003 MASERATI'S ENZO-BASED GT SPORTSCAR IS CAUGHT RACE TRACK TESTING
| Maserati's GT sportscar
is seen caught testing recently. Based on the V12 Ferrari Enzo supercar,
this prototype still outwardly retains the Enzo's bodywork, with revised
engine covers, suspension and a large rear wing being being the easily
visible differences.
Ferrari Sporting Director Jean Todt at Magny-Cours in April, while attending the second round of the Vodafone Maserati Trofeo, confirmed that one-make series, run over seven rounds, represented the first step of Maserati’s return to competition and that the Trident marque’s GT competition programme was well advanced. “The GT car will test for the first time around the end of the year, with a view to making its race debut in the second half of the 2004 season”. The GT car, expected to be known as the 6000GT is based on Ferrari's 600bhp V12 Enzo supercar, although it is unconfirmed what engine it will use. A limited number will be built for the road, the demand expected to be strong particulary after Ferrari had to turn away customers from the Enzo despite increasing the build run. additional material by Geert Peelman |
