re-adoption of dual ignition, increased fuel capacity of 160-litres, a modified front suspension, a redesigned tail and large girling disc brakes. Tragedy struck when driver "Lucky" Casner was killed in an accident during the official testing weekend for the 24 Hours of Le Mans in May of 1965. Casner lost control of the vehicle as he exited out of the Mulsanne Straight kink and rolled the car onto trees. The engine went on to power the Tipo 65 less than 2 months later. A replica of the car was commissioned by German car collector Peter Kaus. The body was made using the original body molds used by Allegretti and was fitted on a German made chassis using a V8 engine used in the Tipo 54 race car. A recreation of the 151 003 was built using a spare body shell at the Maserati factory.
