The study that led to the 450S project dates back to 1954 but the first example of the car was ready only in June 1956. The new sport was equipped with a 4.5-liter 90 ° V8 engine, with at least 400 horsepower at 7200 rpm. The most prominent success of the 450S was that of the 12 Hours of Sebring in 1957 with Behra and Moss, in the year in which Maserati won the World Sports Championship. In 1958 the regulations limited the displacement to 3000cc but some 450S continued to be used in American races for several years. 11 units of the 450S were built.
This Maserati 450S (chassis 4503) was entered in the 1957 Nurburgring 1000km by the official team for Moss and Fangio, a team of exceptional value. The car, however, had to retire after 9 laps due to the loss of a wheel while Moss was at the wheel.
