Carrera DIGITAL 124 Ferrari 330P4 "No.03", Monza 1967
Item No.: 20023814
<< NOW available in the Carrera online shop >>
As the P in the vehicle name suggests, the original was a prototype. Only 3, or 4 (if you count the P3/P4 conversion), of this vehicle were built. Externally, the differences between the P3 and P4 are slight, but an engine concept derived from Formula 1 increased power to around 450 hp. In 1967, Scudderia Ferrari entered this car in the Sports Car World Championship. The 330P4's greatest success was Ferrari's historic triple victory at the 24 Hours of Daytona, finishing 1st and 2nd, as well as 1st and 2nd at the 1000km Monza race. Ferrari won the championship that year, ahead of the Porsche team.
After a long absence from the P4 models (the first Carrera models were released in analog form back in 2005), one of the two successful Monza cars from 1967 is now being released. It is the winning car, driven by Lorenzo Bandini and Chris Amon. A Ferrari 412P also competed in the same race; this was essentially the same car, but as a customer version, it had "only" 410 hp.
If a car racing enthusiast can call all eight Ferrari 330P4 models their own, they not only have a valuable collection—they command high prices when new or in very good condition—but also a very impressive field of entries. However, the color red clearly predominates, which is not surprising given Ferrari.
According to this video, only one original vehicle has survived to this day https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awArTC8iQ3Q
The model itself is flawlessly manufactured. The paint and details are flawless. The sprung front axle is usually "de-sprung," which has a positive effect on handling. The rear tires don't offer much material to sand down, but the new version of the tires also offers significantly more grip than the first vehicles.
The P4 is a truly competitive model in the 1:24 Carrera historic racing car range. Long, wide, flat... It runs.
Until then
