Behold one of the rarest and most significant road-going Maserati in existence. The starting point for this stunning roadster was the 5.0-liter narrow-angle V-16 Maserati Grand Prix car, but the V-16 was shrunk to 4.0-liter displacement. The V4 set a flying 10-kilometer speed record on September 28, 1929, with a velocity of 154 mph, with Grand Prix ace Baconin Borzacchini at the helm. This car was therefore known as the fastest car in the world at the time. It was last run in 1961, and appeared here for the first time following an extensive two-year restoration.
