You probably know Bizzarini's "bread oven" aka Breadwan 250 GT , as it is probably his most famous car. It came about because Enzo Ferrari did not want to sell the 250 GTO to the second designer, G. Volpi , so they built it themselves. It had bodywork by Piero Drogo that was even more advanced than the original 250 GTO . Unfortunately, she was rather unlucky on the race tracks. We can trace its shape in any sports station wagon or shooting brake . It is said that even the FF type is based on the now classic look of Breadwan . The car eventually became the property of Ferrari , which left it to decay for many years. Now, however, the renovated car can sometimes be seen at motoring events.
The next venture of this pair was the Maserati Typo 154 (151/4) with body also by P. Drogo. It was created in 1965, 3 years after the Breadwan, and was nicknamed the "racing van". It was based on the previous versions of the single type 151/3 and 152 . During testing at Le Mans , the Mulsane went out of control while driving down the straight and was thrown into the air after hitting a trackside barrel, where it smashed into two trees. Driver Lloyd Casner didn't have a single chance to survive. However, this did not apply to the engine, which two months later started in the chassis of the Typo 65 racing car.
