- With the introduction of the Mistral, Maserati began its tradition of naming its Gran Turismo cars after famous winds. The Mistral's two-seater fastback body was designed by Pietro Frua and the first prototype was shown at the Turin Motor Show in 1963, though production did not start until 1964. The Mistral was powered by a race-bred inline-6 cylinder engine that came in 3.5-liter, 3.7-liter and 4.0-liter displacements and fitted with Lucas mechanical fuel injection. The body was steel with aluminum doors, hood and rear window frame.
Thanks to Carobu Engineering and the generous owner for letting me review this rare piece of Italian engineering and art.
Cool car. I'd drive that all the time.
Another awesome video! I can't ever say that I have seen a Mistral in person. Great car!
Glad you enjoyed it!
The sharpest line of the time! Lovely ❤️!
Thank you for this video this is your new subscriber on the West Coast Los Angeles
Thank you for your all your videos this is your new subscriber on the West Coast Los Angeles California thank you. When I get the time I must check out the rest of your videos thank you sir and I definitely love the one with the datsun 411
People keep going on about the road car 6 cylinder engines being derived from the racing car engines. The links are there but the characteristics are extremely different. Best to focus on the characteristics of what actually went into the road cars. Nice video though!
Thus the word "derived". Obviously the requirements for road use are different from those for grand prix cars.
The thing that gets me is that they talk about it as if the V8 engines that replaced the I6 were not race derived. But they were; they came from the 450S. The block even has the ports for dual plug ignition, although only single was used. They did keep the dry sump.
Great video 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I had a 65 Maserati Mistral a few years ago and drove it quite a bit. For me I didn't like the styling that much, especially the rear roof. After watching this video I miss it.
The Datsun 240Z must have been inspired by this car.
I want to see from directly beside
👍❤️
No side mirror?
There was none on it when I drove the car for the video. Not sure if it was missing or came like that from the factory?
It's Italian, doesn't matter what's behind you.
Looks a lot like the AC 428.
Its actually designed by the same person, pietro frua
This guy doesn’t seem to know a lot about the cars. He seems bored as well. Nice car bad video.
You must be a real charmer in person...
@@Retromod I am. Sorry if I offended. Perhaps being a little more knowledgeable about what you’re actually reviewing eg. when the car switched to a 4 l engine etc. The best car reviews make you want to drive the car itself. Transferring the driving experience to the viewer.
This was a very good presentation with just the right amount of information. More is not better.
