1929 Maserati Tipo V4
Maserati primarily produced racing cars before World War 2, with only a few exceptions allowed for road use. In 1929, the Tipo V4 was introduced with a four-liter V16 engine featuring a bench angle of 25 degrees. The V4 name derived from the V arrangement of the 16 cylinders combined with four liters of displacement. The engine produced between 280 to 305 hp and could reach a top speed of 260 kph (about 162 mph).
