A total of only five 260 horsepower Maserati Quattroporte fire trucks were produced in 1967. Unusual cars served in Formula 1 races.
In France, an unusual 1967 Maserati Quattroporte was auctioned by Artcurial. A luxury car was converted into a fire truck. His story was told on the auction house’s website.
Only five of these Maserati Quattroporte pickups were produced. They were created specifically for the Italian Grand Prix in Formula 1. Ordinary fire trucks were considered too slow because in case of a fire during the race, it was necessary to arrive at the scene of the accident as quickly as possible.
Tuning of the Maserati Quattroporte was carried out by the Carrozzeria Grazia studio in Bologna. The sports sedan was chosen because it is equipped with a powerful 4.7-liter V8 engine with 260 horsepower and can reach speeds of over 200 km/h. It is also quite large, which made it possible to place the necessary fire equipment.
The body of the Maserati Quattroporte had been cut and a water cannon installed along with a huge water tank. It is noteworthy that there are luxurious leather seats and air conditioning at the front.
The Firefighters Maserati Quattroporte served in races in Italy until the late 70s and was subsequently sold out. This particular car underwent restoration in 2011. They now plan to charge between 150,000 and 250,000 euros for this.
