The automotive world has lost one of its most talented engineers.
While you may not be familiar with the name, you'll definitely be familiar with some of the cars he's credited with helping develop. The list includes the Ferrari 288 GTO and F40, Bugatti EB110, and Lancia Stratos.
Born in the Cilento region of southern Italy in 1939, Materazzi later studied engineering at the University of Naples before moving to Turin where he started his automotive career with Lancia. That was in the late 1960s, and it was at Lancia during the following decade where Materazzi helped develop the Stratos sports car built from 1973-1978, including Group 4 and Group 5 rally versions with their monster turbocharged engines.
Materazzi's talents caught the eye of Ferrari, as by the 1980s the engineer was working on engines for Ferrari's Formula 1 race cars, helping to bring the Scuderia into the turbo era with 1981's 126C F1 race car. He also worked on several Ferrari road cars, most notably as chief engineer for the F40 program., Materazzi left Ferrari after the F40 program, and by 1988 was working with motorcycle manufacturer Cagiva, specifically on its racing program.
