Aurelio Lampredi, a young designer, joined Ferrari in 1946 and Enzo was to owe one of his most successful engine designs to him. Installed in racing and sports cars, the V12 ensured great success. In the Ferrari 340 America, it guaranteed high power output and more than competitive driving performance and was thus used in the world's biggest racing events - Le Mans, Mille Miglia, Targa Florio - albeit not always successfully. This report describes one of the Ferrari 340 America Spider models with Vignale bodywork from 1952 and shows it in many pictures.
It's hard to imagine, but this Ferrari was once rediscovered under a Devin plastic body, fitted with a Chevy V8 engine.
