Unique Black Maserati MC12 for Sale in California

Posted: 29 Mar 2014 06:29 AM PDT


The seller of this black Maserati MC12 says it's the only one in existence to have been finished in black straight from the factory. Pity they didn't do more like this, because, well, it just works in black even better than it did in the white/blue combo you've come to know it in. Read more »

Jaguar Rumored Mulling Lighter, Faster, More Focused F-Type Coupe

Posted: 28 Mar 2014 02:00 PM PDT
