330 P4 (Chassis # 0858) will be offered for sale at RM Auctions’ upcoming Ferrari Leggenda e Passione event on May 17th in Maranello, Italy. It finished third overall at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1967.
The 330 P4 was developed in the late '60s. The 330 P4 is a mid-engined endurance car Ferrari built to replace the 330 P3 race car. After Ford destroyed Ferrari with its 1-2-3 finish at the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans, it was the 330 P4 that got the Italians revenge when it recorded a 1-2-3 finish at the 1967 24 Hours Of Daytona. Only one 330 P4 survives today.
Only three 330 P4s were built, chassis numbers 0856, 0858 and 0860. In addition, Ferrari 330 P3 0846 was updated to P4 specifications. These four cars made up the victorious factory team in 1967.
After the 1967 season the international regulations were changed and there was no longer a place for the large displacement sports prototypes.
