Ferrari 400 Superamerica Aerodinamico (1 of 17).

The earlier 410 Superamerica vehicles had been powered by the prodigious Lampredi-designed Ferrari V12 engine, essentially a big block alternative to the smaller and more compact Colombo V12 which was used extensively by Ferrari in many of their cars, including the 250 GT series.

A 4.0 liter version of the Colombo V12 was used for the 400 Superamerica, it’s where the “400” in the model name came from, breaking with Ferrari tradition that typically used the displacement of a single cylinder in cubic centimeters.hough the engine was smaller than the 5.0 liter Lampredi V12 it produced no less power, with both turning out 335 bhp though the Colombo did achieve peak power a little later in the rev range at 7,000 rpm versus the Lampredi’s 6,000 rpm.Power was sent back through a 4-speed manual transmission and all cars had a Laycock de Normanville overdrive unit for more relaxed highway cruising. Suspension was independent up front and a live axle in the rear, and disc brakes were installed at all four corners.When ordering your 400 Superamerica you could choose from a number of body styles including coupe, spider, cabriolet, and aerodynamic coupé versions. Almost all were designed at Pinin Farina (which became Pininfarina later in 1962).

The 400 Superamerica Aerodinamico is arguably the most special of the 400 Superamerica series. It has its origins in the show car that had been built at Pinin Farina and displayed on their stand at the Turin Salon in November of 1960.This show car had so enamored Battista “Pinin” Farina that he used it as his own personal car for a time in the early 1960s. The car was given a handbuilt body characterized by its elegant flowing lines and fastback rear – all designed to make it as aerodynamic as possible.

It was based on the SWB (short wheelbase) chassis which resulted in a strict two seat layout, rather than a 2+2, though there was ample luggage space in the rear for touring the Continent. Much like its siblings in the 400 Superamerica series the Aerodinamico was built on a chassis consisting on a pair of cross-braced longitudinal steel tubes with the body fitted atop.

Suspension is independent up front with double wishbones, coil springs, and hydraulic shock absorbers. The rear end has a live axle on semi-elliptical leaf springs with hydraulic shock absorbers, and disc brakes are used on all four corners – not a common feature in the early 1960s.Due to the fact that just 17 examples of the Ferrari 400 Superamerica Aerodinamico were made the cars are now among the most desirable Ferraris from the period, with values stretching well into the seven figures.

That the 40 Pinin Farina Cabriolets produced between 1956 and 1959 are referred to and grouped as a distinct “series” is somewhat misleading since each of these spectacular cars is utterly unique in its combination of mechanical specification, interior appointments, exterior details, and overall character. Despite their differences, all 40 examples share the same basic 250 Gt chassis and timeless style that have garnered the model a revered reputation with collectors

1957 Ferrari 250 GT Cabriolet - Enzo Ferrari Museum in Modena, Italy The 250 GT Cabriolet represents a milestone in ferrari's production. Before this model, Maranello had only ever built a very limited number of cabriolets (convertibles), designed to cater to a select clientele. With the presentation of the 250 GT at the Geneva Motor Show, a cabriolet model went into mass production for the first time. The car enjoyed great and immediate success. One of the earliest models was bought by Barbara Hutton, a famous US high society heiress married briefly to actor Cary Grant, who lost no opportunity to show it off at numerous social events. Famous actress Marilyn Monroe also drove the 250 GT cabriolet. Engine: front, longitudinal 60° V12 Total displacement: 2953 cc Power: 176 kW (240 hp) at 7000 rpm Top speed: 252km/h #ferrari #ferrari250gt #luxury #modena #scuderiaferrari #ferrarimuseum #ferrariclassic #marilynmonroe #enzoferrari #classiccar #carmuseums #cabriolet #ferrariheritage #luxus #supercar #oldtimers #cars #supercars #cabrio #classiccars #traveling #forzaferrari #ferrarilife #luxurycars #cavallinorampante #travel #ferrariworld #prancinghorse #carsofinstagram #barbarahutton (at Museo Enzo Ferrari - Modena) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp5xTMKIcGM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Lost and found: 1962 Ferrari 250 GT Cabriolet by Pininfarina

A classic car that disappears from sight for many years is not great news, but it becomes so when the car is a Ferrari, especially a convertible like this one. It is in fact a 250 GT Cabriolet by Pininfarina, a second series, sold new to the first Italian owner residing near Milan, and purchased in blue with red interiors: the blue is no longer there as it has been replaced with the silver…
