The Ferrari 340 Mexico was a Ferrari sports racing car which was intended for the 1952 Carrera Panamericana. It used 4.1 L Lampredi V12 engine producing around 280 PS (206 kW) at 6600 rpm, for a maximum speed of 280 km/h. Just 4 were made in 1952, 3 Vignale Berlinettas and 1 Vignale Spyder; all designed by Giovanni Michelotti. The 340 Mexico used a 2,600 mm (102.4 in) wheelbase. All 4 cars were entered into the race but only one finished. Originally all owned by Luigi Chinetti, two of the berlinettas (0222AT and 0226AT) were sold to American Allen Guibertson for $14,500 each while the third berlinetta (0224AT) continued to be raced by Luigi Chinetti in the Mille Miglia, 12 Hours of Reims and 12 Hours of Pescara.
