Ferrari 330 America
The final series of Ferrari’s four-seat 250 GTE 2+2 were fitted with the 4-liter Columbo V12 engine and renamed 330 America. It had the same gorgeous Pininfarina designed body as the 250 GTE 2+2. The engine was upgraded with new combustion chambers and wider-spaced bores, helping it get to 300 horsepower.
These had all the traits of the Series III 250 GTE including fender mounted fog lights, adjustable seats and one piece taillights.
In fact the 330 America was outwardly identical to the Series III 250 GTE except a small 330 America script that was fitted to the trunk lid. The interior was also completely the same.
Only 50 330 Americas were produced until being replaced by the 330 America 2+2.
