Maserati 150S is a racing car made by Maserati of Italy alongside the Maserati 200S, to take over for the aging Maserati A6GCS racing variants. Depending on the source, between twenty-four and twenty-seven examples were built,[1][2] and one additional street-going car, called the Maserati 150 GT.
The project Tipo 53 was designed by Vittorio Bellentani in 1953 and utilized the 4CF2 1484.1 cc engine, fitted with twin Weber 45 DCO3 carburetors and producing 140 hp (103 kW) at 7500 rpm.[3][4] The engine was developed from Alberto Massimino's earlier two-liter version, created to offer a simpler design suitable for private competitors in Formula 2 racing.[4] The 1.5-liter version underwent initial testing in a racing boat belonging to Liborio Guidotti in 1954–1955.[5] Maserati unveiled the 150S at the April 1955 Turin Motor Show;[6] the final example was completed in January 1957.
