MASERATI MOSTRO BY ZAGATO

Unveiled at this year’s Concours d’Elegance of Villa d’Este, this is the last creature designed by the pencil of Mister Zagato.

Tracing the lines of its predecessor, the new “Mostro” has that retro taste mixed with some modern dictates, a huge spoiler and a powerful V8 under the hood, faithful to a vehicle, desired, designed and created for the world of racing. 5 lucky and wealthy persons will be able to bring its granddaughter home.
