1964, 500 Superfast, s/n 5983SF (BBR, limited 1/5, resin)
This model, targeted at clients looking for uncompromising performance in a luxury car, was presented at the 1964 Geneva Motor Show. Derived from the 400 Superamerica, it was fitted with a special engine which benefited from the work of both Colombo and Lampredi. With three 40 DCZ/6 Webers, it boasted 400 bhp, which placed the car at the top of its class. Twenty-five units with a 4-speed gearbox were built during the first series. In 1966 a second series of twelve cars came out, which had additional speed.
The 500 Superfast was presented at the 1964 Geneva Salon, and would have a limited production run into 1966. It would also be the last low volume production coupé produced by Ferrari, in a series that had started with the America and Superamerica of the fifties and early sixties. As the series production car output increased in number and uniformity, the tooling necessary for small series runs was becoming less viable, despite the greater sales price.
