The Maserati 3500 GT.

The project was then developed into the 3500 GT Spyder with a 3.5-litre inline six and moving from the 350S into a road-going engine. The design evolved into the 5000 GT powered by the Maserati 450S racing engine. The model became one of the fastest and most expensive cars of its days.
