The Ferrari P series were sports prototype racing cars produced in the 1960s and early 1970s.
Although Enzo Ferrari resisted the move even with Cooper dominating F1, Ferrari began producing mid-engined racing cars in 1960 with the Ferrari Dino-V6-engine Formula Two 156, which would be turned into the Formula One-winner of 1961.
Sports car racers followed in 1963. Although these cars shared their numerical designations (based on engine displacement) with road models, they were almost entirely dissimilar.
For 1965 Ferrari also built a customer version of P2 cars; they were equipped with a SOHC 4.4 L engine and thus were named 365 P2. In 1966 Ferrari upgraded their 365 P2 cars with new bodywork by Piero Drogo.
This Ferrari 365 P2/3, dating from 1965 is an icon of Ferrari history and one of the first Ferrari prototypes to use rims in magnesium alloy with the typical golden colour, that made the flaming red body stood out. This car was the answer to the threat posed by Ford with their GT40 produced following their failed attempt to buy the Ferrari company. The 365 P2/3 claimed numerous victories including, for the first time in history, an occasion with three Ferrari lined up on the finish line at the Daytona track. This model, driven by the Italian Nino Vaccarella, claimed first place in the Targa Florio in 1965 and was owned, for many years, by the famous French cartoonist Alberto Uderzo, Asterix’s creator.
