The Maserati 8C was a Grand Prix race car built by Maserati between 1931 and 1933. The 8C was being designed by Alfieri Maserati in the early 1930s; however, he died before its completion.[1] The chassis was that of the Tipo 26M, and it was initially fitted with a Tipo 26M engine with its cylinders bored out by 4 mm to arrive at its limit of 2.8 litres. Development of the new 3.0 L engine continued and it was constructed for racing in 1932. The car won the 1933 French Grand Prix and Sir Henry Birkin achieved third place driving it in the Tripoli Grand Prix. However, it was not very successful in other races.[1] The car featured some of the world's earliest hydraulic brakes.[2] The Tipo 8C 3000 was the final two-seater Grand Prix Maserati.

Der Maserati 8C war nach dem Tipo 26 und dem V4 das dritte Rennwagenmodell, das der italienische Automobilhersteller Officine Maserati entwickelte und baute. Maserati bot das Modell in vier unterschiedlichen Varianten mit Motoren zwischen 1,1 und 2,8 Litern Hubraum an. Die Modellfamilie erreichte eine Gesamtauflage von „etwa einem Dutzend Exemplaren.“[1] Die 2,5- und 2,8-Liter-Versionen gelten als die leistungsstärksten einmotorigen Rennwagen ihrer Zeit. Mit ihnen etablierte sich Maserati vorübergehend als erfolgreichster italienischer Rennwagenhersteller.[2]- [en] Maserati 8C
