Swedish toymaker offers a wooden Maserati collection

In some ways, Maserati had it easier in the 1980s. We don’t necessarily mean in a financial sense, or that the cars were especially reliable, but it has to be said both the Biturbo and the third generation Quattroporte are both simple, three-box shapes that are easy to re-create from blocks of solid wood.

both the Biturbo and the
third generation Quattroporte are both simple, three-box shapes that are easy to re-create from blocks of solid wood.


The Swedish toy company
Playsam offers the Alfieri concept, the Levante SUV and open-wheel Maserati race cars in wooden toy car form, and the production portfolio is planned to be enlarged later. Maserati has plenty of classic designs for Playsam to re-create, but our tip is to look into the Biturbo style cars if they want to take a break from all those swoopy shapes you can see in the slideshow above. Maybe they could even offer the
Chrysler TC by Maserati with a detachable hardtop: Those round opera windows must be really easy to drill in place.


Browsing
the online store, the prices for the Playsam’s Maserati products are far higher than the toymaker’s conventional $70 wooden toy car range, at over $370 apiece. But like the real counterparts, they should not just sit untouched: We would rather see them being used.
