After the ultra-successful Ferrari 250 GTO was released in early
1962, Ferrari then previewed what was essentially a development of the
250 with the unveiling of the Ferrari 330 LMB.
Only four Ferrari 330 LMB’s were ever produced, with each featuring a
4.0 liter 330 engine rated at 400hp at 7,500rpm. The styling behind the
330 LMB took clear inspiration from the 250 GTO with a strikingly
similar front end being featured and also carried on from the racing
heritage of the 250 GTO with three competing at the 1963 Le Mans 24-hour
endurance race where two ultimately retired from the race, thus marking
the end of the 330 LMB competing in official racing events.
However, that doesn’t mean 330 LMB’s no longer exist, as the
following example was snapped at the Greenwich Concours d’Elegance in
June last year. The annual Greenwich Concours d’Elegance is located in
Connecticut and has gone onto become one of the premium events of its
kind anywhere throughout the U.S.
The following picture was snapped by Rivitography.
