Maserati Tipo 61 Birdcage Re-Creation by Crosthwaite & Gardiner

The Maserati Tipo 61, elegantly re-created by Crosthwaite & Gardiner, is a iconic masterpiece of automotive craftsmanship. This meticulous tribute pays homage to the original Birdcage designed by Giulio Alfieri in the late 1950s, but with modern engineering and materials. Its distinctive spiderweb-like welded steel tube frame, which inspired its moniker, is a striking visual testament to its racing heritage. Underneath this unique body lies a potent Ferrari Tipo 128F V12 engine that generates over 400 horsepower, mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox for raw driving sensations. The aircraft-inspired fuel tank located beneath the driver's feet further emphasizes the Tipo 61's motorsport roots. This modern recreation not only captures the essence of Maserati's rich history but also offers enthusiasts today the opportunity to experience the exhilaration of vintage racing while enjoying contemporary performance and safety features.
