Why it matters

The 335 S was a 1957 quad-cam Ferrari sports racer and the successor to the 315 S. A fatal crash involving Alfonso de Portago at the 1957 Mille Miglia was described by Sports Illustrated as probably the end of that race.

Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.

History

For the 1957 Mille Miglia Ferrari also built a brand new 390 bhp 335 S for its works team. The Mille Miglia crash car was one of the 3.8-litre Ferraris in the race.

After the season the surviving machines were sold to the United States. One 335 S was delivered to Luigi Chinetti's North American Racing Team at the end of 1958.
