The OSCA MT4, also spelled the O.S.C.A. MT4 or Osca MT4, is an Italian sports car prototype, designed, developed, and made by Officine Specializzata Costruzioni Automobili, between 1948 and 1956, but was raced and used in active competition until 1966.[1][2][3][4]
Due to the variety of engines of different displacement sizes and the comparatively large number of chassis built (thanks to strong sales), the OSCA MT4 had an unusually long service life for a competition car. Thus the remarkable success story for the racing car model.[5] Between 1948 and 1966, it managed to rack up 92 wins, 109 class wins, 9 pole positions, and 194 podiums - an impressive record for such a small manufacturer without the means of sustaining a factory competition effort.[6][7][8]
