1959 Ferrari 400 Superamerica Coupe Pininfarina was specially built for Fiat-boss Giovanni Agnelli.

The odd pinstripe is a bit crazy but apart from that: what a beauty.


I see this as a proto so the grille needs another look at.


The whole is a bit Facel Vega like.


I was surprised to find this one. Lovely car.

"Powering the 400 SA was a version of the Colombo short-block V12 engine. The engine had an enlarged four-liter capacity and coupe produce 340 horsepower."

Looks Gordon Keeble-ish to me. Not a beauty in my eyes, I'm afraid.

Dog ugly, I think whoever designed that had eaten to many Skittles at breakfast.
