1957 Maserati 250F

90 years Maserati, without a doupt one of the Italian racing carmanufacturers with the most venerable history. CMC decided to appreciate Maserati's 90th birthday with a replication of the 250 F. After all this racing car is called the most beautiful Monoposto who ever hit the racetrack. Also 1957 was one of the most distinguished and eventful years of the companies history. Back then, on the 4th of August, more than 200.000 people watched the start of the Grand Prix of the century at the N�rburgring. After an acrimonious fight with two of his biggest rivals Mike Hawthorn and Peter Collins, both driving the Ferrari 801 F1, Juan Manuel Fangio was able to celebrate a victory with his lightweight constructed Maserati 250 F, one of his biggest triumphs. Because of that terrific victory Fangio conquered his 5th world championship title and became a legend of racing car history, and so did the 250 F. The full metal model is made of 1,387 single handmounted parts. Attention was focused not only on the body but also the �inner life� of the model. Built with the highest possible level of detail, even if some of the parts are invisible to the eye after assembly, it's just like the original.
