A masterpiece of architecture model:M-110 CMC Maserati 300S Engine with Display ShowcaseIt is not without reason that the Maserati 300S was one of the most successful sports racing cars of its time.Much of its success is attributable to its sinewy engine, which is similar to the famous Formula 1 engine of the Maserati 250F in many ways. Thanks to its powerful drive, J.M. Fangio raced his 250F to the 1957 World Championship. This led Stirling Moss and several other famous race drivers to put their faith in the 300S 3-litre 6-cylinder engine. Apart from a number of top finishes, the 300S won the famous 1,000 km endurance race at the Nürburgring in 1956.Technical data of the CMC-model:Model:Assembled, handmade precision modelManufacuter:CMC GmbH, Classic Model Cars, GermanyScale:1:18Art.-No.:M-110Model details:Composed of 1,838 single partsThe instruments of the dashboard are authentically recreated, and so is the upside down face of the rev meterDetailed elaborate drum brakes and removable hand-spoked wheels with authentic-looking tiresThe spare wheel is fastened with three leather straps, as in the original vehicleGas and oil tank are made of stainless steel plate and hand-assembled with an elaborate rivet arrangementAnother highlight in CMC'efforts -- the shapely Maserati 300S as an exquisite 1:18 scale modelThe underbody of the Maserati 300S is a masterpiece by itself.

By do doing, Maserati managed to create a sports car with a lot of potentials. It immediately captured the attention of a long list of renowned race drivers and racing teams, who rode the car successfully in countless races.With top drivers such as Stirling Moss, Piero Taruffi, Harry Schell and Jean Behra behind the wheel of its 300S, the Maserati team was able to achieve a great vicotry in the 1,000 km endurance race on May 27, 1956 at the Nürburgring. Further successes followed at many more famous race tracks around the world during the same year. At a result, the 300S finished 2nd in the 1956 World Sportscar Championship.CMC has crafted an authentic replica of a 1956 300S original. This original vehicle holds a very special place in the 300S history, because it is the only 300S that integrates a number of features and components rarely seen in the other 300S units.
