1933 Maserati 8CM

The Maserati 8CM was a Grand Prix race car produced by Maseratiย between 1933 and 1935. Maserati hadย designed two new engines (four cylinder and V8).

Withย advanced new engines added toย a conventional steel ladder frame which was suspended all-round by solid axles and semi-elliptic leaf springs, the cars were strong performers. The four cylinder was fine, but the V8 causedย flexing problems.

Maserati fixed theย rigidity issues and and theย modifications made a night and day difference. Tazio Nuvolari went from back of the grid to race winner with the changes in place.
