In the immediate postwar period, Maserati decided to use the 4CL engine on a new tubular frame. Thus was born the 4CLT which in 1948 received a further engine development: the 1491cc 4-cylinder benefited from a new power supply with two compressors, which brought the power from 220 to 280 horsepower. The bodywork was also new, designed by Fantuzzi. The new car was immediately competitive and within a few seasons it scored about forty victories in Europe and the United States, with Ascari, Villoresi, Fangio, Farina and many other private drivers using it until 1952.
Tecnomodel, a historic brand of Italian artisan model making, is today a manufacturer of excellent quality models, in 1:18 and 1:43 scale, manufactured in China. Tecnomodel was appreciated in the past with high-level products, kits and assembled in 1:43 scale, and then adapted to the new needs of the market. Today the Tecnomodel catalog is focused on racing cars: F.1 cars, Sports Prototypes and so on. Recently, the production of 1:43 scale subjects has also been resumed.
