Maserati 300S Racing

The Maserati 300S was the definitive front-engine Italian sports-racing car of the mid-1950s. Its 296 cc inline-six with twin-plug ignition raced at Le Mans, the Targa Florio, and the Mille Miglia in the hands of Stirling Moss, Jean Behra, and Harry Schell — winning multiple events against Ferrari's factory team.
