HISTORY:
The Maserati Tipo 60/61, designed by Giulio Alfieri, was produced from 1959 to 1961
built exclusively for customers, there was no factory use due to the
The company's tense economic situation at the time was not a problem. With 22
Vehicles, the total production was very manageable.
The car became known as the Maserati “Birdcage”, a reference
on the unusual, only 30 kg heavy tubular frame, which consists of more than
200 thin-walled steel pipes with a small diameter, but at the same time
offers similar strength to a much more expensive monocoque.
Empty weight is 600 kg.
The hood of the “Birdcage” is very flat, because the inline four-cylinder engine with
initially 2.0 l and later 2.9 l displacement and an output of 250 hp at 6500
1/min is installed at a 45 degree angle so that the air flow is very favorable
Through versatile aerodynamic optimizations (including very low
windshield, tightly enclosed front wheels, spoiler lip at the rear)
The vehicle has a top speed of 285 to 300 km/h, depending on the gear ratio
of the 5-speed gearbox. At the same time, these measures enable a low
Fuel consumption, especially crucial in long-distance races.
The wire spoke wheels with 6.50 × 16 tires are mounted on double
suspended by wishbones with coil springs and telescopic shock absorbers,
At the rear is a De Dion axle with transverse leaf spring and
telescopic shock absorbers. The car is equipped with Girling disc brakes on
equipped with all four wheels.
The vehicle with chassis number 2466 was delivered to the Conte
Giovanni Volpi, Venice, and took part under the flag of his racing team
Scuderia Serenissima, whose crest the car bears on the side, successfully
numerous international races. After several changes of ownership, it was
owned a few years ago by Nick Mason, the former drummer of
Pink Floyd. The CMC model shows the car in the condition it was in the
Nick Mason's collection.
