Fancy Owning One Of Just 40 Ferrari 333 SP Race Cars Ever Built?

A very rare Ferrari 333 SP sports prototype is currently up for sale and bound to sell for an eye-watering sum.

The 333 SP came to life towards the end of 1993 and was initially built by Dallara. It was Ferrari’s first sports prototype for 20 years and immediately made an impression thanks to its use of a 4.0-liter naturally aspirated V8 pumping out 641 hp at 11,000 rpm and modified from the 641 Formula 1 car.

Just 40 examples of the 333 SP were ever made. Dallara built 14 of them while the remaining 26 were built by Michelotto. This particular 333 SP, currently up for sale through RM Sotheby’s, is one of the Michelotto cars and is chassis 032.

The listing doesn’t provide many details about the car’s ownership history but noted that it does include a number of key documents, including service invoices, its official Ferrari Classiche certification, and a number of import and customs documentation. From what we can ascertain, the 333 SP once resided in Victoria, Australia and in 2006 was imported into Canada. It is now in Padova, Italy.

It is unclear if this Ferrari 333 SP ever raced and if it did, just which events it competed in. What we do know is that the 333 SP in general was very successful, claiming first and second places during its racing debut at the third round of the 1994 IMSA GT Championship. It also claimed a victory at the 12 Hours of Sebring in 1995 and was raced at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, finishing sixth in 1997.

Throughout the 333 SP’s history, it secured no less than 56 race victories and claimed the drivers’ championship in the 1995 IMSA GT Championship as well as the FIA Sportscar Championship in 1998, 1999, 2000, and 2001.
