The History of the Ferrari 340 Mexico

In 1952, Ferrari unveiled the Ferrari 340 Mexico, a car built specifically for the legendary Carrera Panamericana race. Powered by a robust 4.1-liter (250 cu in) V12 engine delivering 280 horsepower, it was all about speed and endurance. The Ferrari 340 Mexico was part of the 1st generation and was produced in super limited numbers. The design owes its brilliance to Gioachino Colombo, known for his innovative engineering. That same year, Queen Elizabeth II ascended the British throne, the USA tested its first hydrogen bomb, and the tune "Singin’ in the Rain" became a hit – just to give you a sense of the times. The Ferrari 340 Mexico was the successor to the Ferrari 340 America, which also holds a special place in racing history.
