Description1939 Maserati 4CL Grand Prix (21233811803).jpg
The Maserati 4CL and its derived sister model the Maserati 4CLT are single-seat racing cars that were designed and built by Maserati. The 4CL was introduced at the beginning of the 1939 season, as a rival to the Alfa Romeo 158 and various ERA models in the voiturette class of international Grand Prix motor racing. The improved 4CLT was introduced in 1948, the T denoting its more rigid tubular chassis, needed for the extra power, now 260hp from twin superchargers.
Before the war, in 1939, the 4CL won quite a few voiturette races after engine trouble in early races, also winning the Targa Florio in 1940. After the war, the 4CL picked up another 10 wins in 1946 and 1947
Engine; 220hp 1500cc 4 cyl supercharged
