Unveiling a Masterpiece

In the enthralling world of automotive wonders, certain cars emerge not just as vehicles but as masterpieces that redefine the limits of design and technology. Enter the Pininfarina Birdcage, a mesmerizing concept car born from the storied collaboration between Pininfarina and Maserati.

Genesis of Elegance: From Tipo 60 to Birdcage

Embark on a journey through the rich history of Maserati's Tipo 60, a legendary racing car from the late fifties. The Tipo 60 known as the "birdcage," it laid the foundation for the Birdcage's name, symbolizing the golden age of Maserati.

With a limited production of only 25 road cars, this one-off model encapsulates the pinnacle of automotive craftsmanship. Its unique design, with a sleek, low profile and distinctive features, pays homage to a glorious yesteryear while asserting its 21st-century credentials.

Bridging Eras: Craftsmanship and High-Tech Engineering

The Birdcage is not just a car; it's a bridge between eras. Marvel at its elongated, wide silhouette, reminiscent of classic design, while the carbon fiber body and high-tech engineering propel it firmly into the future. The absence of traditional doors, replaced by a futuristic sliding bubble, showcases the marriage of retro aesthetics with cutting-edge technology.

Performance Unleashed: A Symphony of Power

Underneath the Birdcage's exquisite exterior lies a powerhouse of performance. Boasting a 6-liter, 12-cylinder engine generating over 700 horsepower, it propels this work of art with unmatched vigor. With a curb weight of 1,500 kilograms and components like Brembo brakes and a six-speed sequential gearbox, the Birdcage is not just a concept; it's a race car in every sense.

Inclusivity in Design: Inviting All to the Feast

What makes the Pininfarina Birdcage truly exceptional is its ability to transcend automotive boundaries. Its design, both classic and modern, appeals to enthusiasts across the spectrum. This inclusivity echoes the essence of the Birdcage, inviting all car aficionados to revel in its unique charm.

1985 Audi Sport Quattro: The Group B Homologation Special

In Austria in 1980, just a year after four-wheel drive cars became eligible to compete in the WRC, Audi debuted the first Quattro rally car and forever changed the sport. Over the next half of the decade (and onwards, if you count the Pikes Peak specials), these Audis would be subjected to a period of rapid iterative evolution that led to the short-wheelbase Sport Quattro models that helped define the infamously fast and dangerous era of Group B rallying. The relatively lax nature of the Group B regulations gave rise to a number of downright ferocious cars from Audi’s competitors (most notable being Lancia and Peugeot), and while it was not the most successful nor technologically advanced of these top tier cars by the end of the Group B era, the Sport Quattro is a worthy poster child for the lot of them—being first to the punch has its advantages. The advent of the Group B class provided manufacturers with practically every leeway imaginable given they adhered to a basic s...
