History of the Ferrari 400 Superamerica
The 400 Superamerica was produced between 1960 and 1964 with a design by Pininfarina for all the models (spider, cabriolet and aerodynamic coupé). It was the successors to the 410 Superamerica (produced from 1955 to 1959).
And with its name, Ferrari didn't follow the tradition for a road car, the type number wasn't denoting the swept volume of a single cylinder but the total cubic capacity of 4 litres. The 400 Superamerica was an exceptional car and reamins one of the most celebrated Ferrari ever built.
