1967 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona Prototype by Scaglietti  | Düsseldorf, Germany Chassis No. 10287 Engine No. 251 Gearbox No. 757 Documents Dutch Kentekenbewijs The very first 365 GTB/4 Daytona prototype Fitted with a completely unique Tipo 243, 4,380 cc V-12 engine with six Weber carburetors from new Offered from twenty years of single-family ownership Painstakingly restored by Dutch-based Ferrari specialists Ferrari Classiche certified; retains its original chassis and completely unique engine Previously displayed at Museo Ferrari from 2015-2016 Best of Show at the 2016 Concours d’Elegance Paleis Het Loo Apeldoorn An unrepeatable opportunity to acquire a unique piece of Ferrari history Chassis number 10287 is that of a Tipo 596 chassis, the same type which was used for the 275 GTB/4, made of tubular steel and a wheelbase measuring 2,400 mm (a wheelbase length shared by both 275 GTB/4 and 365 GTB/4). At its heart is a completely unique Colombo engine, one that would not be seen in any other Ferrari road car at the time. Designated Tipo 243 internally, it is fitted with dry sump, three-valve heads rather than the usual four valves per cylinder, dual ignition, twin spark plugs per cylinder, and is topped with six Weber 40 DCN18 carburetors. The block itself is based on that of a 330 GT but has been bored out to 4,380 cc. What is worth noting about this completely unique and radically redesigned engine is that it bears similarities to the engines found in the 330 P4 prototype racers, the race car that won numerous races and earned its place in the history books after their memorable 1-2 finish with a 412 P coming in third at the 1967 24 Hours of Daytona. These racing cars also have double inlet valves with one exhaust valve per cylinder. Once completed in early 1967, 10287 saw extensive factory testing at the Modena Autodrome over the course of that year. It was first registered on May 8, 1968, wearing Italian number plates ‘Roma B 85391’ through the official Ferrari dealer in Rome, Motor S.a.s. di Carla Allegretti e C, noting a sales price of 8,000,000 Italian Lira. It is interesting to note that, at the time, this was similar in price to a new 275 GTB/4, but by that time, the production version of the 365 GTB/4 Daytona had yet to be introduced, this being about five months before the 1968 Paris Auto Salon.

1983 Porsche 911 Turbo WLS "Sonderwunsch" Slantnose Coupe Lot 231 | Porsche 75th Anniversary Auction  | Estimate: $300,000 - $350,000 Highlights Paint to Sample Sonderwunsch (Special Wishes) Slantnose Just one of approximately 35 second-generation 1983 Sonderwunsch Slantnose Turbos Retains its original, matching numbers 930/66 engine and transmission with Works Power Increase Werksleistungssteigerung (WLS) specification Special Wishes interior features include Italvolani steering wheel, rootwood dashboard trim, leather trimwork German market (RoW) example, early importation to the USA by B. Canepa in 1985, known chain of USA ownership Features importation and California CARB-compliant decals, copies of EPA and Customs paperwork Chassis No. WP0ZZZ93ZDS000695 Engine No. 67D0722 Transmission No. 77D0703 While Porsche has long offered customers the ability to customize new vehicles with personalized features, the department for this – Special Wishes or Sonderwunsch in German – became formalized in the late 1970s. At the time, Porsche's Motorsport department was building, and winning major endurance and sprint races with 935 racecars. The 935 differed from its predecessor, the 934, in many ways, but the most obvious to enthusiasts and race fans alike was its flattened, slant nose appearance. Drivers of the production variant 911 Turbo (930) naturally wanted what they saw winning on-track and Porsche's new customization department, created to fulfill the special wishes of those customers, was happy to oblige. At that time almost nothing was too far-fetched at Sonderwunsch; special bodies, unique paint, bespoke interiors, and high-horsepower engines were all available to those who were in the know. While many are familiar with an early Sonderwunsch request by TAG-group owner Mansour Ojjeh to convert a 935 racing car for the street (he ultimately approved a highly modified 911 Turbo), Porsche had, in fact, created a handful of Slantnose Turbos prior to his. At the time in 1983, the production process – while still completely hand-built – had become formalized, with a brochure, options codes, and even a price list. The individual who specified the build of this particular Sonderwunsch 911 Turbo WLS (Works Power Increase) Slantnose was likely intimately familiar with the ordering process. #classic #classics #classiccars #collectorcars #carcollectors #historic #vintage #performance #racing #rallying #driving #car #cars #automotiveindustry #auto #autos #autoindustry #auction #forsale #sold #automotive #investment #privatesale 

The Ferrari 166 MM was a sports racing car produced by Ferrari between 1948 and 1953. Here are some short characteristics of the car: - Engine: The 166 MM was powered by a 2.0-liter Tipo 166 V12 engine, which produced around 140 horsepower in its later iterations. The engine featured a higher compression ratio, larger carburetors, and other performance upgrades over the engine used in the 166 Inter. - Chassis: The car featured a tubular steel chassis, which was similar to the one used in the 166 Inter. The chassis was light and rigid, providing good handling and performance. - Body: The body of the 166 MM was designed by Carrozzeria Touring, and it was made of aluminum. The design was aerodynamic, with a long hood, a rounded tail, and distinctive "Superleggera" construction, which used lightweight tubes to support the body panels. - Suspension: The car had independent front suspension with double wishbones and a transverse leaf spring, while the rear had a live axle with semi-elliptic leaf springs. - Brakes: The 166 MM had hydraulic drum brakes all around, which provided adequate stopping power for the relatively lightweight car. - Racing history: The 166 MM was very successful in racing, winning the Mille Miglia in 1949 and 1950, as well as several other races. It was also raced by several famous drivers, including Alberto Ascari and Luigi Chinetti. Overall, the Ferrari 166 MM was an important car in the company's history, as it helped establish Ferrari as a dominant force in sports car racing. It also set the stage for many of the iconic Ferrari racing cars that would follow. #sports #power #construction #design #cars

Porsche 911 Reimagined By Singer Is A 964 With 934/5 Style And 700 HP https://lnkd.in/eRwFA6CH Over the years, we've learned that Singer doesn't skimp when it comes to restoring and reimagining the Porsche 911. The air-cooled 964 is already a coveted generation within the 911 family; Singer's latest project fuses that with the racing legacy of the Porsche 934/5 race car of the 1970s. The result is called the Dynamics & Lightweighting Study (DLS) - Turbo. We simply call it incredible. Before perusing the details of this new Singer masterpiece, we need to take a short trip back to the 1970s. Porsche was racing with its new 911 Turbo, taking the form of the 934 and 935 for FIA competition. In 1977, a hybrid of these two racing 911s called the 934/5 was created for IMSA. It was so badass that IMSA banned it pretty much immediately, so Porsche stepped over to SCCA competition and the 934/5 won almost every race it entered. It also got Porsche the 1977 SCCA Trans Am championship. Whether you opt for wild or wilder styling, all versions get a Singer-designed 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged six-pot with air-to-water intercooling, capable of making over 700 horsepower and spinning past 9,000 RPM. Last year the company inked an agreement with a Porsche subsidiary to build engines, but that doesn't apply to the DLS mills used here. Those are still built at Singer's facility in the UK in the capable hands of Nicholson McLaren Engines.

LOT 239 Miami 2024 2004 Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale $300,000 - $400,000 USD  | Offered Without Reserve  | Coral Gables, Florida Chassis No. ZFFDU57A240139040 Documents US Title To be offered on Saturday, 2 March 2024 A blisteringly fast and much-desired competition-focused model One of approximately 378 examples specified for North America Showing 9,507 miles on the odometer at the time of cataloguing Finished in Rosso Corsa over a red/black Alcantara interior In 1993 Ferrari introduced a race-prepared version of its V-8 model for use in a new single-marque competition series dubbed the Ferrari Challenge. Ten years later the 360 Modena was transformed into a roadgoing race car called the Challenge Stradale, which substantially shaved weight through the removal of sound insulation and other creature comforts. The model was equipped with advanced mechanical elements like an F1-style paddle-shifted transaxle, uprated carbon ceramic brakes, and a retuned V-8 engine with higher compression and a resulting additional 25 horsepower (for a total 425 horsepower). Ferrari ultimately built fewer than 1,300 examples of the prodigious 360-based Challenge Stradale, approximately 378 of which were specified for North America. The model was an instant classic with Maranello racing connoisseurs, offering the purest and fastest iteration of the already-dazzling 360 Modena. Befitting of a competition bred sports car, the 360 Challenge Stradale on offer wears a striking Rosso Corsa exterior over a red/black Alcantara interior. Being a North American-specification example, the vehicle lacks the Lexan windows fitted in other markets, but it does feature prominent Scuderia shields on the quarter panels, a hi-fi radio with CD player, carbon fiber mirrors, Rosso Corsa brake calipers, and a fire extinguisher. Delivered new to the state of California, the car now shows just 9,507 miles on the odometer at the time of cataloguing. A tool kit, owner’s books, and a car cover will accompany the Ferrari upon purchase. The Challenge Stradale offers Maranello enthusiasts a blisteringly fast track-ready 360 that can be equally admired or driven for casual fun. Ideal for display at FCA events, supercar Sundays, or local cars-and-coffee gatherings, examples with low mileage and desirable factory specifications are becoming increasingly difficult to find. As such, this particular 360 Challenge Stradale offering represents a wonderful opportunity to acquire one of Ferrari's best. #classic #classics #classiccars #collectorcars #carcollectors #historic #vintage #performance #racing #rallying #driving #car #cars #automotiveindustry #auto #autos #autoindustry #auction #forsale #sold #automotive #investment #privatesale
