1951 Ferrari 340 America Coupe

  • Coachwork by Ghia
  • Chassis Number: 0148 A
Ferrari built 23 examples of the 340 America, including this example. The 340 America was the first Ferrari street car to utilize the Lampredi V-12 engine, making this a landmark model. This 4.1-liter Ferrari Ghia Berlinetta (serial number 0148 A) was built for a Ferrari board member (the first non-Italian member of the Board of Directors of Ferrari) and industrialist Michel Paul-Cavalier of Pont-a-Mousson, France (president of Pont-a-Mousson foundry), who owned several exceptional Ferraris from new. This is the only 340 Berlinetta built with a lightweight aluminum alloy body, and one of five 340s coached by Ghia. It is equipped with the famous Lampredi V-12, which would go on to contribute to Ferrari's first victories in F1 in Ferrari's 375 F1 model. In the 340 model, the 4,101cc engine develops 250 hp at 6500 RPM. It was a legendary motor that was several steps above the standard 250 production unit, and it went on to spawn both the 375 MM and 410 Sport of fearsome reputation for their power.

Mr. Cavallier requested competition camshafts, producing a fifteen percent increase over a standard 340 America, and rare front-driving lights. The current caretaker has driven this car on the Colorado Grand and raced it on tracks from Sebring to Laguna Seca. In 2008, this restored car came to the Pebble Beach Concours.
