Equipment
4.2 litre/460hp V8, 6-speed automanual, 19-inch alloy wheels, Michelin Super Sport tires, Red caliper AP Racing brakes, Motec digital display, scissor doors, small triangular opening side window panels, carbon fiber wing.
Condition
A Maserati show car inspired by the 450S Costin coupe, one of 5 built. Less than 1,000 km. Beautiful paint, polished aluminum brightwork and interior. The equipment is rather sparse, but the effect of the swoopy bodywork more than makes up for any deficiencies in accoutrements.
Market commentary
The coachwork is beautifully presented and seductively designed and it succeeds in recalling the Costin/Zagato coupe with the same blend of voluptuous curves and form follows function design but updated to current motifs. Unique would be better than one of five, but it's still a striking creation and a reasonable offer was made for it.
