Summary

As a further development of the Ferrari 375 America, the 410 Superamerica models were produced between 1956 and 1959. The "Lampredi" twelve-cylinder engine had been bored out to 4,923 cm3, which meant 340 hp (Series 1 and 2) and 400 hp respectively. Like the Ferrari 375 America, the wheelbase was initially 2.8 meters, but from 1957 it was shortened to 2.6 meters. Various body versions were created on the chassis with independent front suspension and rigid rear axle, most of which featured a Pininfarina design, two cars had Boano bodies, another car was clad by Ghia in the style of the Chrysler Gilda/Dart concept cars. Finally, a Superamerica was given a Scaglietti body, which is presented here in detail and documented in pictures. The article is supplemented by a list of chassis numbers and historical photos from the period.
