The Legend: Ferrari 330 P4 at the 1967 Le Mans 24 Hours
The Ferrari 330 P4 was a symbol of innovation and engineering prowess of the 1960s. The car was introduced in 1967 and represented the fourth generation (4th generation) of a series of prototype race cars built by Ferrari. The production period of this generation spanned from 1966 to 1967 (1966-1967). The Ferrari 330 P4 was developed by the talented engineer Mauro Forghieri and left no stone unturned in terms of design and performance. Powered by a 4.0-liter V12 engine with three valves per cylinder, this engineering masterpiece managed to churn out an impressive 450 horsepower. The aerodynamically-designed body was not only aesthetically pleasing but also helped reduce drag and optimize the car's top speed.
