Castoldi built Arno XI on the shore of Lake Como and benefitting from his friendship with Ferrari racing drivers Ascari and Villoresi, gained assistance from Enzo Ferrari and the Ferrari racing team to develop and install a 4.5 litre V12 racing engine, in this case with a pair of superchargers to boot (the same engine as the Ferrari 375). Arno XI was purchased by Nando Dell'Orto following Castoldi's retirement, was modified and continued to race. This model is of the Dell'Orto 50 racer.
