Birdcage Maserati Concept Car


Birdcage Maserati Concept Car

The Birdcage Maserati Concept Car is something entirely different. It's pure automotive fantasy, an uncompromised, uninhibited creation built without consideration for political correctness, the environment or even the need to be driven.
Pininfarina's current Creative Director, Ken Okuyama, headed the team responsible for its inception. With previous design credits including the Maserati Quattroporte and Ferrari Enzo, clearly he's not a man in need of creative release - just, in the Birdcage's case, of crafting something a little different.
This Birdcage Maserati Concept Car inspiration partially came from a previous Pininfarina show car - the 1970 Modulo. This insanely low, white-painted plastic wedge forced its driver to sit almost fully reclined on the floor, surrounded by a cockpit canopy that rotated forwards on spindly aluminium struts. It was powered by the most extreme engine then available, a five-litre Ferrari V12.
