The 2023 Monterey Car Week sped into its 20th year with 200+ of the world’s greatest autos. Winning Best of Show at The Quail motorsports gathering was a one-of-one Ferrari Superamerica “Superfast 1.” Owned by Anne Brockinton Lee, the super-rare 1956 Ferrari had just completed a multi-year restoration.
It’s truly one-of-a-kind, the only 410 Superamerica with a 4.9-liter Lampredi V12 engine with twin ignition and 24 spark plugs. Chassis 0483SA has a one-off body with futuristic tail fins and a one-off engine. Rumor has it the engine was used to develop the long-distance Ferrari racing 410 Sports. It’s one of only four special-bodied prototypes for the 410 Superamerica and the only Superamerica prototype by Pininfarina.
