I hope this is in the right area
What are the difference in body styles between the 250 P, 275 P & 330 P,
Thanks

Love the sound of the 12 cylinder engine :auto-driving:

To my eyes, the 330 P4 is the most beautiful car ever built!

So, It looks like my version is a 275 not 250? The wire wheels would not be correct on this then?. I think I will go against accuracy on this, I like the wires to much!

Those pictures came from a book on Ferrari roadsters. The illustrations were online, but not the text.

For me, the 330 P3/P4 is "the" racing car. Nothing before or since even comes close to that combination of looks and performance.

The other car I will do next.

Ok, I am ignorant of the Marque, what body is that? I have a fastback version, but I had not seen that roofline.
Neat car by the way!

The original 250 GTO was a thing of beauty (although the proportions are better in the SWB version for me). The '64 release was an ugly travesty.

My original idea was to run one of these in the ROAR proxy, but I was having trouble determining what years since to me they look the same. I spent a few hours searching the web, but it just became more confusing
Here's an example from wikipedia...

The 250 P was a Prototype racer produced in 1963, winning the 12 Hours of Sebring, 1000 km Nürburgring and the 24 Hours of Le Mans in that year. It was an open cockpit mid-engined design with a single-cam 3.0 L 250 Testa Rossa V12 engine and was almost entirely unrelated to the other 250 cars.

The 275 P and 330 P were evolutions of the 250 P with 3.3 L and 4.0 L engines, respectively. These raced during 1963 and 1964.

Rick, no one would mind if you used a car that was developed and raced in 63. even if it was not the exact car, it would be in the spirit of the race, which iS FUN.

Hey Bob, is my 275 I just built a chassis for legal?
