When you manage to impose as a name known throughout the world for its style and quality, the market expects for such qualities to last through decades to come. Built in since 1962, Ferrari 400 Superamerica is considered to be the peak of Ferrari’s touring segment of the time.
It stood out of the crowd with a longer wheelbase, while a pointed open mouth front end and a fastback tail brought a decent aerodynamic coefficient. Beneath the curved hood rests a short-block 4 liter V12 engine, nicknamed “Colombo”. It is fueled by 6 carburetors and delivers power to the wheels through a 4-speed manual transmission.
Showcased in 1962 at Chicago Motor Show, this is one of the highly limited 18-pieces featuring extended wheelbase. The car comes in original Grigio Argento over Nero colorway and with completely original interior components.
Boasting cutting edge technology for the time and a design created to fall in love with, Ferrari 400 Superamerica provides a heavenly driving experience. Forget about all driving aids in modern vehicles; this time it’s only you, the steering wheel, gear shifter and pedals. It’s raw and elegant at the same time.
