1953 Ferrari 375 MM - Enzo Ferrari Museum in Modena, Italy Ferrari 375 Mille Miglia carried on the Ferrari tradition of naming sports models after the famous Italian road race and was a spin-off of the F1 single-seater, just like its sister car, the 375 America, which was the GT equivalent. The engine was based on its F1 counterpart, albeit with a new crankshaft giving a shorter, 68 mm stroke but with a bigger bore for a larger, 4.5-litre displacement. The engine debuted in a 340 Berlinetta at Le Mans where it was driven by Ascari and Villoresi. Subsequently Pininfarina built a series of around 10 spiders and a few berlinettas which were mainly fielded by privateers. A total of 26 examples were built including four converted examples of the 340 MM. 375 MM raced in the Carrera Panamericana, though with limited success. A fourth place in 1953 and a second place in 1954. Of course, there were victories such as in the 24 Hours of Spa and the 12 Hours of Casablanca. The 1000km race at the Nürburgring with Giuseppe Farina as pilot also skewed the 375 MM’s record. King of the Ferrari Driving Playboys and a well-known diplomat in the jet set, Porfirio Rubirosa, also owned 375 MM and his girlfriend of the time, Zsa Zsa Gabor, the Hungarian actress (also known for having had nine husbands), never missed an opportunity to enthusiastically pose in the cockpit of the 375 MM.
