By the mid-1950?s, North America was fast becoming Ferrari's most important market. This was predominantly thanks to the work of NART impresario Luigi Chinetti and his small team of distributors who, scattered throughout the United States, combined to raise awareness with their high profile exploits on road and track. In recognition, Ferrari named some exclusive models America, Superamerica and California, however, these lavishly engineered machines weren't constructed solely for the US, many being sold throughout Europe and the Middle East.A carefully revised version of Ferrari's 375 America, the Lampredi-engined Ferrari 410 Superamerica was simply the ultimate Grand Touring car of its day. Only 34 were ever made in three series between the autumn of 1955 and summer 1959, high profile owners including Emporer Bao Dai, Shah Reza Pahlevi of Iran and Jan de Vroom, the latter having a unique Pinin Farina body and interior fitted to 0719 SA (a Series II 410). For the chassis (designated Tipo 514) Ferrari reworked their Ferrari 375 ladder type frame by widening the track and fitting new coil sprung front suspension (in place of the 375?s transverse leaf set up). Some additional revisions were also made, these focused primarily around increasing structural rigidity in anticipation of the larger displacement and even more powerful engine. This itself was another development of Aurelio Lampredi's awesome 60 V12 that had most recently been used to great effect in Ferrari's spectacular 410 Sport. Minor alterations saw single rather than double spark plugs used for each cylinder and twin coil ignition (the Sport having had four). Designated Tipo 126, Lampredi's five-litre unit featured a displacement of 4961cc thanks to a bore and stroke of 88 x 68mm respectively.Output was 340bhp at 6000rpm (40bhp up on the outgoing Ferrari 375) making these Ferrari 410 Superamerica's the most powerful GT's of their time. Three Weber 42 DCZ carburettors were fitted along with a dry multi-plate clutch. With all the mechanical components in place, a rolling chassis was launched bereft of any bodywork at October 1955's Paris Salon, a fully clothed Superamerica debuting during February 1956 at the Brussels Show. Despite a weight of 3200lbs, the stock Ferrari 410 could sprint from 0-60 in just six seconds while a top speed in excess of 150mph was possible.
