Profile & significance
The first sports-car outing for Lampredi’s large-block V12: 3,322.34 cc, 270 hp at 7,200 rpm, five-speed, 850 kg, 2,420-mm wheelbase, drums and 240 km/h. Two Touring barchettas were built for the 1950 Mille Miglia, where both suffered transmission trouble—an instructive example of the drivetrain- development pressure created by Ferrari’s rapidly rising power . Today each surviving chassis is effectively unique; eight-figure potential would depend on identity and originality rather than “model average.”
