Overview

Within the Ferrari stable, the 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO Series I and 1967 Ferrari 330 P4 represent different approaches to performance and purpose. Both carry the Ferrari badge, yet each carves out its own distinct identity. The 1967 Ferrari 330 P4 holds a clear advantage in raw power with 450 hp compared to 302 hp, a 148-horsepower difference that shapes the driving experience. Under the hood, the contrast is notable: the Ferrari 250 GTO uses a V12 SOHC (Colombo) displacing 2,953 cc, while the Ferrari 330 P4 relies on a V12 DOHC 48V with 3,967 cc. In the sprint to 60 mph, the 1967 Ferrari 330 P4 edges ahead at 3.5 seconds versus 5.8 seconds. Rarity plays a significant role here — with only 4 units built, the 1967 Ferrari 330 P4 is considerably scarcer than the Ferrari 250 GTO's 36 examples.
