It has six twin choke carburettors - thus the accentuated bonnet.
In 1958 the car was driven by Phil Hill and Peter Collins in the 12 Hours of Sebring and 24 Hours of Le Mans.
It features a 2953.21 cc V12 engine. It generated 300 hp at 7000 rpm.
It had a top speed of 279 kph (170 mph).
What an incredible and rare spot. Thanks for posting!!
For someone that's not a fan of Ferrari, you sure know a lot about Ferrari.
