Osca
OSCA (Officine Specializzate Costruzione Automobili—Fratelli Maserati S.p.A.) was a renowned Italian manufacturer of racing and sports cars founded in 1947 by the Maserati brothers, Ernesto, Ettore, and Bindo Maserati. Building upon their extensive experience in the automotive industry, OSCA quickly gained recognition for its finely crafted, high-performance vehicles. Specializing in small-displacement engines, OSCA cars were celebrated for their agility, reliability, and exceptional handling characteristics, which made them formidable competitors on the racing circuit. OSCA achieved considerable success in various motorsport events, including the Mille Miglia, Targa Florio, and 24 Hours of Le Mans, earning numerous class victories and cementing its reputation as a leading manufacturer of sports racing cars. Despite facing financial challenges in the 1960s and eventually ceasing production in 1967, OSCA’s legacy lives on through its contributions to the golden era of Italian motorsport and its enduring influence on automotive engineering and design.
