1931-1932 Maserati 8C 2800. The new 2,8-liter Maserati appeared as a result of company's success in 1930 - the decision was made by Alfieri to hold the advantage and to make a new, more powerful car for the 1931 season. The new engine was actually a developed 2,5-liter one, but now it provided 205hp, and not 185 like the previous year. In 1931 8C 2800 driven by Fagioli won French Grand Prix at Montlhery and Italian Grand Prix at Monza (see Tipo 26M also - it's rather hard to diversify their records, as the chassis numbers were, as I realized, the same - just new engines were mounted on them). About 5 8C 2800's were made and some of them ran 1932 season because of Alfieri's death.

1. Maserati 8C 2800 (1931-1932).
2. 8C 2800 during some 1931 season race (if anybody knows the track and the driver, it would be greatly appreciated).
3. 1931 Monza winning car with Luigi Fagioli.
4. 1931 ACF-Montlhery Grand Prix, Ernesto Maserati.

P.S. I specially like the phrase 'Weber ASS mounted on compressor' at one of the sites while describing carburrettion system.
