Unique Piece Of History: 1956 Maserati 450S Prototype By Fantuzzi

If you are a car enthusiast and you were searching for a unique piece of history, well it’s time to stop.

Because today we’re going to show you one of the most amazing car out there! The 1956 Maserati 450S Prototype By Fantuzzi.

This outrageously cool car was driven by the legendary driver Stirling Moss, along with Denis Jenkinson as navigator in the 1956 Mille Miglia 1,000-mile race.

Unfortunately they experienced a brake failure and the car came to rest against a tree.

But that’s when Fantuzzi came in to picture , redesigning the body and modifying the wheelbase in order to accommodate the new V-8 engine.

The restoration of the 1956 Maserati 450S was finished in 1987, and after that, this unique piece of history was rarely driven.

So let’s see how the 1956 Maserati 450S Prototype By Fantuzzi looks like!
