1952 Ferrari 340 Mexico Artwork
Photographer Jamie Hankin takes an inspired look at Ferrari’s seminal Carrera Panamericana challenger.
With coachwork designed by Michelotti and built out of aluminum by Vignale, the 1952 Ferrari 340 Mexico is undeniably beautiful. It is also an engineering marvel, built to survive 2,000 miles of unforgiving desert terrain and poorly paved roads that comprised the famed Carrera Panamericana. Powered by Aurelio Lampredi’s “long” V-12, displacing 4,102-cc, the Mexico produced 280 horsepower, weighed just 2,200 pounds and was capable of speeds in excess of 160 miles per hour.
