Maserati 300S

By Walter Bäumer

Maserati’s 300S is one of the great machines that helped make sports car racing in the mid-1950s a golden age, and this new book chronicles the shapely model’s story from conception to creation to competition. Beyond his insightful look at the overall development of the iconic machine, author Bäumer also traces comprehensive histories for each of the 28 examples that rolled out of the Maserati works in Modena, Italy, between February 17, 1955 and March 16, 1959.
