Mighty Ferrari 330 P4 Artwork
Artist Chris Phillips paints a captivating portrait of Chris Amon behind the wheel of the mighty Ferrari 330 P4.
The Ferrari 330 P4 was the Scuderia’s weapon of choice for the 1967 World Manufacturers Championship. The car’s 4-liter V-12 engine produced 450 horses and, at 860 kilograms, the prototype was considerably lighter than the Ford Mk 2s and Mk 4s. The season opener at Daytona saw the Ferrari team emulate Ford’s three-abreast finish at the previous year’s Le Mans race by crossing the line in formation to claim 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. Skipping Sebring, the P4 won again at the Monza 1,000 kilometers, piloted by Lorenzo Bandini in what was sadly to be his last 1,000 kilometer race. Le Mans saw the P4’s place 2nd and 3rd, gaining more valuable points following an unsuccessful outing at the earlier Targa Florio. Finally, a 2nd-place at the BOAC 500 at Brands Hatch proved to be all that Ferrari needed to regain the championship from Ford.
