In Milan at a time of year when design, Italian style, elegance and innovation are celebrated, Maserati is the guest at the LARUSMIANI Boutique, for an extraordinary Avant Première of FuoriConcorso, an exclusive automotive culture event to be held on May 24 and 25 at Villa del Grumello and Villa Sucota in Como.

During Milan Design Week 2025, a prototype of the futuristic racing car built by the House of the Trident from 1955 to 1957 is in the spotlight in the MonteNapoleone District, an iconic location and home – at Via Pietro Verri, 10 – of the historic LARUSMIANI brand, synonymous with “Hand-Made in Italy” quality for over a century.
Conversely, Maserati and LARUSMIANI are both ambassadors of “Italian Luxury” around the world, united by a strong vocation for elegant and timeless design: two brands that have managed to breathe life into products that have entered the collective unconscious and become icons.

The 200S on show is just one example. It was the second model produced by the Modena car manufacturer, in April 1956, with sports bodywork by Fiandri. 

It was used in various competitions by drivers such as Gilberto Cornacchia (son of the owner of the Maserati dealership in Milan at the time) and the Neapolitan Mennato Boffa, until May 1960.
The car had an in-line four-cylinder engine, derived from the 150S’s, with a displacement of 1,993 cc and two Weber 45 DCO3 carburettors, with the capability to deliver an output of 190 CV at 7400 rpm.

This 200S, after the time it spent active in motorsport, was kept in the Maserati factories until 1999 when it became part of the Panini Collection in Modena; in the same year, it was then sold to the current owner, who began the restoration to return it to its former glory.

The sparkling red 200S is not the only “design piece” Maserati is showcasing during Milan Design Week 2025. The brand is also there together with the furniture makers Giorgetti with a collaboration that celebrates Italian savoir-faire and the quest for innovation, through the presentation of two works created based on the perfect combination of style and technological innovation: an interior design collection and a Grecale one-off from the Maserati Fuoriserie customisation programme.
