Seven years ago, Zagato unveiled the Mostro \u2014 a Maserati-powered supercar that was inspired by the race cars of the 1950s. Now, it is ready to not just unveil, but deliver the first customer car from its highly-limited run of the Mostro Barchetta, or simply, a roadster version of the aforementioned coup\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mostro takes its name from a car Sir Stirling Moss called a \u201cmonster,\u201d that being the Maserati 450S Coupe Zagato from 1957. Speaking on the project, Zagato\u2019s President Andrea Zagato said, \u201cWe decided the name of the project inspired by Sir Stirling Moss\u2019s first reaction, who said: \u2018Beautiful like a monster\u2019 when he first saw the Maserati Coup\u00e9. It is the oxymoron itself which well expresses the union between the brutal powering and the philosophy of beauty.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the car\u2019s design, you\u2019ll find nods to racing heritage. Two seats and a sloping, small, wraparound windscreen are reminiscent of a speedboat, while a Maserati-manufactured carbon fiber MonoCell chassis, no electronic traction control, and a frontal block-mounted gearbox all reference race cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can choose from a 414 BHP 4.2-liter Maserati V8 or a three-liter 621 BHP Maserati V6 that\u2019s found in the current Maserati flagship, the MC20. This works alongside perfect 50-50 weight distribution, rear-wheel-drive, six-piston AP Racing calipers at the front and four pistons at the rear, a six-speed sequential gearbox, double-wishbone front and rear suspensions, adjustable shock absorbers and a combined weight of just 1,200 kg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In short, the Mostro Barchetta is likely to be a very capable car on the road and track. Only five are due to be built, and almost all are already assigned to Zagato\u2019s collector clients list. Take a closer look at the car above, and see it in the flesh at Concorso d\u2019Eleganza Villa d\u2019Este.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
