Ferrari 500 Superfast

The 500 Superfast, marking the culmination of Ferrari's America series, debuted at the 1964 Geneva Motor Show. Initially planned to be named "Superamerica," it was ultimately introduced as the "Superfast." The car featured a distinctive 4,962.96 cc Ferrari Colombo V12 engine, a variation of the original Colombo design, producing 400 PS and capable of reaching speeds up to 280 km/h. Its chassis was closely related to the contemporary 330 GT 2+2, with Pininfarina handling the bodywork. Initially equipped with a 4-speed transmission plus overdrive, later models were upgraded to a 5-speed transmission. In total, 36 units were produced between 1964 and 1966. This figure excludes a one-off 330 GT 2+2 made for Prince Bernhard of The Netherlands, which sold for CHF 422,100 in 2003. The 500 Superfast was exclusively available as a coupé, with no roadster variants produced.
