Ferrari 340 MM
The Ferrari 340 MM is a sports racing car, being an evolution of the Ferrari 340 Mexico with a shorter, 2,500 mm (98.4 in), wheelbase. The 340 MM used the same 4.1 L Lampredi V12 as the 340 Mexico with similar three Weber 40DCF carburettors that helped the 340 achieve 280 PS (206 kW) at 6600 rpm and a maximum speed of 282 km/h. 10 examples were made in 1953, 4 Pinin Farina Berlinettas, 2 Touring Spyders and 4 Vignale Spyders (designed by Giovanni Michelotti). A total of four were converted to 375 MM spec. Giannino Marzotto won the 1953 Mille Miglia in a Vignale Spyder (chassis 0280AM), setting a new average speed record for the race; with other 340 MM finishing fourth. Two more 340 MMs were entered that year in Touring barchetta guise but did not finish.
