d3fy,
This one greeted me right at the entrance. It is one of the very few Maserati built for privateers (homologation specials). Despite the already full-race "I have a license plate-believe in miracles" spec, the owner saw it fit to have it
made even more powerful and even more wickedly handling. Said owner wil no doubtedly park it next to his new FXX. Ahem.
Mr Edo, of same named racing services took care of fitting an even racier set of cats, remapping, and fitting KW external reseroir double-adjustable coilovers.
While standing (towering) next to this beauty, talking with the super-nice and knowledgeable motorsports tech from KW, Mr Edo got in the conversation about the Maser to end all Masers... This full-on race shop owner was so friendly, aproachable, and precise in his engineering explanations, that my appreciation could only go up exponentially when, smiling like a mischievous kid on Christmas eve, got in it and fired it up.
Holy Bejeezus!!! Ever been to an F1 paddock!?
He was told never to do that again during the show.
Just look at that engine, that chassis...! Fathom the inspiration, the work that went into making this beauty! Hey those coilovers look familiar /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
And here the AutoUnion that went head to head against the Silver Arrows in some vicious races around the 'ring... No seatbelt or other protection. Instead, massive reservoirs front, rear and on the sides, full of highly explosive fuel...
Supercharged horses in the 600s, drum brakes, and tires with a small pinky-toe's "footprint".
Enjoy,
Ben.
