The complex space-frame, built from more than 200 single pieces of tube, gave the Maserati Tipo 60\/61 his legendary nickname \u201cBirdcage.\u201d Behind this innovative engineering was Giulio Alfiere,\u00a0 the master-mind that promoted the idea of producing a space-frame of barely 30 kg. Indeed, the designing of the Birdcage space-frame represents a real stroke of genius. Wrapped up in a tight aluminium body, the Tipo 61 is powered by a 2.9-liter, four-cylinder in-line-engine which generates 250 hp on the road. Only 23 units of the Tipo 60\/61 were made from 1959 through 1961. The\u00a0 white model painted with blue lengthwise stripes, is based on the championship car of Lucky Casner\u2019s Camoradi-Team. It exemplifies the art of high-end model car manufacturing. Not only is the space-frame clearly visible in the area of the windshield, but many other details are also faithfully replicated to provide a feast for the eyes.
