Ferrari Parked Here, Onlookers Beware

Ferrari 375 MM

You won't find one of these parked by the curb in your neighborhood unless the owner is participating in a notable classic car event. Which is why this historic Ferrari 375 MM, body by Pininfarina, stood still long enough to be photographed. It was one of a number of entrants in the Palm Springs Desert Classic Concours that took to the road for a tour of the area, giving residents and visitors a rare look at some equally rare cars being driven rather than awaiting their place on the grass. Because the 375 MM is as much race car as road car, our photographer reported that its raucous engine could be heard roaring (and sometimes sputtering, as thoroughbreds will) for several blocks. A racing version of the "Tipo 375" allegedly developed as much as 380 hp from its Lampredi-designed V-12. And that, friends, was way back in 1951! No wonder that this 375 MM sounded like instant bedlam when the engine was started.
