The design of the Birdcage 75th is very odd compared to other vehicles. Its body was designed by the legendary Pininfarina, which is famed for designing some of the world's finest vehicles. The car honors the past Maserati Birdcage of 1961 by name and it's sleek design. The car doesn't have any doors, but opens up as seen on the picture to the right, the front part of the body. The slim and light body and the fact of the equipped V12 engine, it is also faster than race cars.
