The Most Amazing Maserati Supercar: What is Known About the Zagato Mostro
The model was created for Maserati’s 100th anniversary. It combines the styling of 1950s race cars with modern engineering. It is based on the 1957 Maserati 450 S Coupé, which was developed for the “24 Hours of Le Mans” marathon.
The body is made of carbon fiber and mounted on a modern MonoCell chassis with an additional steel tubular structure. Under the hood is a 4.2-liter gasoline V8 producing 421 hp. The engine works in conjunction with a 6-speed sequential gearbox in a transaxle layout.

The car features a long hood and a short rear end. Among its distinctive features are a fixed rear wing and butterfly doors. The interior is executed in a minimalist racing style focused on the driver, and the side windows are fixed.
This specific example has been owned by a single family in Austria since production. Ownership has only changed within the family over the entire period. Thanks to the 106 km mileage, the car’s condition is virtually new.
Zagato produced only five such coupes, making the Mostro one of the rarest modern supercars based on a Maserati.
