1955 Ferrari 375 America Coupé Speciale

This is the unique Ferrari 375 America (chassis # 0355AL) built for Fiat Boss Gianni Agnelli. The twelfth and final 375 America was even more special as it featured a completely unique Pinin Farina body built to the specific demands of Agnelli. 

Equipped with a larger version of Aurelio Lampredi V12 engine that was similar to the final Formula 1 version of the engine and displaced 4.5 litre. The engine was good for a very impressive 300 bhp. In 1955 the 375 America was replaced by the even larger engined 410 SuperAmerica. (ultimatecarpage.com)

The next Pinin Farina designed custom built Ferrari for Agnelli would be the 400 Superamerica Coupé Speciale in 1959.
