As quoted from Worldcarfans on Sunday, May 24, 2015, Zagato Maserati Mostro design inspired from the 1957 Maserati 450 S Coupe Zagato "Monster" which was created for the 24 Hours of Le Mans at the request of Sir Stirling Moss.
This can be seen clearly with the design of long front snout, while at the rear, designed bending typically of 1950s racing cars. The car frame purely made of carbon fiber material, in the center, is equipped with a tubular steel protective frame.
The body is also made of a mixture of carbon fiber so it has a lightweight. A fixed rear wing to maintain the car stability and unique doors that open in a forward and upward direction. Its rims using wire wheels models measuring 19 inches and covered with 255/40 R19 tires at the front and 295/35 R19 for the rear.
Zagato Maserati Mostro relies on a front-mid mounted Maserati V8 engine with dry-sump lubrication and a customizable engine management system. The engine is combined with a semi-automatic six-speed transmission system. While in the interior, there are only two seats completed with seat belts, as well as the sporty steering wheel.
This car was shown officially in the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este 2015 which held on May 22 to 24, 2015.
