Description
Capitalizing on the success of his V12-engined competition cars Enzo Ferrari began to develop exclusive road-going models for sale to private customers.
Enzo Ferrari had begun planning his new car during the war and in 1946 commissioned Gioacchino Colombo to design a small-capacity V12 engine for it.
By the time of the Paris Salon, in October 1953, the Ferrari range of road-going cars was being fully renewed with two new models announced, the 250 Europa to replace the 212 Inter born in 1951 and a bigger engined model, the 375 America.
These two new Ferraris featured a common and longer (2,800mm instead of 2,600mm) chassis and 'long block' Lampredi engines, a 3-litre (2,963cc) known as Tipo 103 for the Europa and a 4.5-litre (4,522cc) Tipo 104 for the America together with a 4-speed gearbox to replace the 5-speed of the 212 Inter.
The first 375 America (0293AL) was ready for the 'Salon de l'Automobile', exhibited as a 2-seat coupé featuring an all new Pinin Farina design.
