90 years of Maserati - reason enough for CMC to more closely concern ourselves with that brand which is without a doubt one of the Italian racing car manufacturers with the most venerable history. CMC decided to celebrate this anniversary with a replica of the 250 F. After all, this racing car is called the most beautiful Monoposto that ever hit the racetrack. Also the year 1957 was doubtless one of the most distinguished and eventful of the company's history. Back then at the 4th of August, more than 200,000 people were spectators at the Start of the Grand Prix of the Century at Nürburgring. After an acrimonious fight with his two biggest rivals Mike Hawthorn and Peter Collins, both driving the Ferrari 801 F1, Juan Manuel Fangio was able to celebrate one of his largest triumphs with his lightweight constructed Maserati 250 F and a head start of only 3.6 seconds. With 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 hand mounted parts. And as we show you here, we focused our attention not only on the body. The interior of the model was also built with the highest possible level of details, even if some is no longer visible after the assembly - exactly as with the original.
