The Ferrari 330 cars are the successor of Ferrari 250, first introduced by Ferrari in 1963. The first 330 America was simply a 250 GT with a larger engine, and the 330 GTC/GTS shared their chassis with the 275. Only the 330 GT 2+2 was a truly unique product. Production ended in 1968 with the introduction of the Ferrari 365 series.
All 330 models used an evolution of the 400 Superamerica's 4.0 L Colombo V12 engine. It was substantially changed for the 330 cars, however, with wider bore spacing and the notable use of a true alternator rather than a dynamo generator.
330 America
A 250 in all but name, the 1963 330 America shared the outgoing model's chassis if not its engine. Powered by the new 4.0 L engine of the later 330 cars, 50 330 Americas were built. Likely the most famous 330 America is that belonging to California socialite Sandra Ilene West. Mrs. West was buried at the wheel of her car following a 1977 drug overdose. Her instructions specified that she be clad in her lace nightgown with the driver’s seat "slanted at a comfortable angle". The car (and driver) is interred at the Alamo Masonic Cemetery, San Antonio, Texas.
330 GT 2+2
The 250 GT 2+2 was replaced in January, 1964 by the new 330 GT 2+2. It was much more than a reengined 250, however, with a sharper nose and tail, quad headlights, and a wide grille. The wheelbase was 50 mm longer, but Koni adjustable shock absorbers improved handling. A dual-circuit Dunlop braking system was used with discs all around, though it separated brakes front to back rather than diagonally as on modern systems.
The 1965 Series II version featured a five-speed gearbox instead of the overdrive four-speed of the prior year. Other changes included the switch back to a dual-light front clip, alloy wheels, and the addition of optional air conditioning and power steering.
500 Series I and 575 Series II 330 GT 2+2 cars had been built when the car was replaced by the 365 GT 2+2 in 1967.
330 GTC/GTS
The 330 GTC and 330 GTS were more like their 275 counterparts than the 330 GT 2+2. They shared the short wheelbase of the 275 as well as its independent rear suspension.
The GTC berlinetta was introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in March, 1966. It was a 2-seat coupe with a Pininfarina-designed body. The GTS spyder followed at the Paris Motor Show. About 600 coupes and 100 spyders were produced before the 1968 introduction of the 365 GTC/4 "Daytona".
330 LMB
Three 250 GTOs were modified with a large bump on the hood to use the four litre 330 engine. These were sold as the 330 LMB.
330 P
Four mid-engined racing cars used the 330 engine and name as well — the 330 P/P2/P3/P4.
