The Original

This racing car is called the most beautiful Monoposto who ever hit the racetrack.

Also was the year 1957 doubtless one of the distinguished and eventfulliest of the company’s history. Back then at the 4th of August, more than 200.000 people spectated the start of the Grand Prix of the century at the Nürburgring.

After an acrimonious fight with his both biggest rivals (Mike Hawthorn and Peter Collins, both driving the Ferrari 801 F1), Juan Manuel Fangio was able to celebrate with his lightweight constructed Maserati 250 F and only with a head start of 3.6 seconds one of his largest triumphs.

Because of that terrific victory Fangio conquered his 5th world championship title and became a legend of racing car history, and so did the 250F.

  • 6 cylinder inline engine

  • Displament: 2.493 ccm
