| Notes |
|
| Due to the heavy
involvement in Grand Prix events, the 4CM 1500 was not really fully
utilised until 1934. Based on the 1100 cc version, the car had a
triumphant season in 1934, but in 1935 with continuing competition
appeared to be in decline. Extra effort was therefore put into the 6CM by
Ernesto Maserati which yielded great benefits for the 4CM including a
revised engine with more power, coming from fixed head engines (from
1935), larger compressors and a two barrel Weber of the 45DCO, similar
chassis to the 6CM, and independent front suspension. The 4CM 1500 thus
remained competitive until the end of 1938. Furmanik, as he had done with
the 4CM 1100, used a streamlined body for similar record setting purposes
with the 4CM 1500 |
