1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Ferrari America offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Ferrari America at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.

2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about

See also the Ferrari 375 F1 and Ferrari 375 F1 Formula 1 racers Ferrari's highest-end models in the 1950s and 1960s were the Americas. They were large Grand tourer with the largest V12 engines and often had custom bodywork. All America models used a live axle in the rear, were FR layout, and had worm and sector steering.

The America series was based on a series of concept cars which bore the Superfast name. Therefore, the final true member of the America production family finally bore that name instead: The #500 Superfast.

==375 America==Another Pinin Farina and Vignale car, the 375 used the new 4.5 L Lampredi engine with up to 300 hp (224 kW). The 340 and 375 were expensive and exclusive - only about 40 were built from late 1951 through 1955.

375 MM "Ingrid Bergman" Sergio Scaglietti and his Carrozzeria Scaglietti were commissioned by director Roberto Rossellini to custom build a one-off version of the 375 MM with custom bodywork for his wife, actress Ingrid Bergman. This design later became the inspiration for the car which would be named after Scaglietti himself, the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti.

Ms. Bergman wasn't too fond of the car, or of Rossellini's love for Ferraris in general.

As a curiosity, the colour that was chosen for this amazing masterpiece was unique and not available for the other Ferrari models. It was the intention of Roberto Rossellini to utilize a colour that could be compared to that of Ingrid Bergman's eyes. This colour is now available for all production Ferraris under the name "Grigio Ingrid".

410 Superamerica As if the custom, low-volume America was not fast enough, Ferrari produced another line of America cars, beginning with the 1955 410 Superamerica. The engine was now up to 5.0 L with 340 hp (254 kW) available. A 1957 Superamerica III had triple Weber carburetors for even more power.

Each 410 Superamerica had custom bodywork, with a few by Boano and Ghia but most by Ferrari stalwart, Pinin Farina. The price was extremely high — at USD16,800, the 410 Superamerica offered at the New York Auto Show by importer Luigi Chinetti was more than twice as expensive as the Mercedes-Benz 300SL "Gullwing" exhibited by Max Hoffman. Just a few (14 to 35) were built when the series ended in 1959.

400 Superamerica The 400 Superamerica had a smaller 4.0 L Ferrari Colombo engine engine, but produced as much power as its predecessor. It debuted in 1959 as 410 production ended, and was available as a coupe, spider, or cabriolet with custom Pinin Farina bodywork. Four-wheel disc brakes were a new addition. 50 400s had been built when the 400 stepped aside in 1964.

==500 Superfast==The end of the top-line America series was the 1964 500 Superfast. Early in development, and even into production, these cars were to be called "Superamericas", but the decision was made at the last moment to use "Superfast" instead. The engine was again a 5.0 L Ferrari Lampredi engine, but 400 hp (298 kW) was available now, pushing the car to 170 mph (274 km/h). The chassis was based on the contemporary Ferrari 330, and bodywork was again done by Pinin Farina. 37 cars were made to 1966, including 12 "series II" models with an updated 5-speed transmission.

==365 California==The 1966 365 California was a stepchild model. It used the America's chassis, with its 2650 mm wheelbase and live axle rear suspension, but had the 4.4 L Ferrari Colombo engine V12 from the other Ferrari 365 cars. Just 14 of the open roadsters were built, and production ended in 1967.
