The [[Ferrari]] '''330''' cars replaced the successful [[Ferrari 250]] series beginning in [[1963]]. The first [[#330 America|330 America]] was simply a [[Ferrari 250#250 GT|250 GT]] with a larger engine, and the [[#330 GTC/GTS|330 GTC/GTS]] shared their chassis with the [[Ferrari 275|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 [[Ferrari America|400 Superamerica]]'s 4.0&nbsp;L ''[[Ferrari Colombo engine#330|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.

This article is part of the automobile series.

The Ferrari 330 cars replaced the successful Ferrari 250 series beginning 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, 50 330 Americas were built.

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

The mid-engined 250 P was stretched in 1964 to accept the 4.0 L 330 engine, becoming the 330 P.

330 P2/P3/P4

An entirely new car, the 330 P2, followed in 1965. It was first used by Luigi Chinetti's North American Racing Team (NART) at Daytona that year. It was powered by a 410 hp (305 kW) version of the 330 V12.

The 1966 330 P3 introduced fuel injection to the Ferrari stable. It also used a ZF transmission, another Ferrari first that would only last one season.

1967 saw the ultimate mid-engined 330 P, the 330 P4. With a 3-valve cylinder head added to the P3's fuel injection system, output was up to 450 hp (335 kW).
