Kitos!!!
Mae aquí está lo que he podido averiguar sobre el modelo 340 MM. El modelo que pusiste (uno de los 2 azules aquí abajo) junto con el rojo de las fotos grandes son parte de 5 con carrocería Vignale Spyder, sobre un total de diez 340 MM:



Una de las Ferraris más poderosas construidas hasta ese momento. Dentro de esa sutil pero deportiva figura, se esconde un tremendo V12 de 60 grados y 4101 cc de capacidad, con una potencia de nada menos 300 HP, una barbaridad si tomamos en cuenta que este auto se hizo en 1953.
Equipado con una caja de cambios manual de cinco velocidades con diferencial controlado, tiene una suspensión delantera independiente y frenos de tambor hidráulico en las cuatro ruedas. Con estas prestaciones, los 240 km/h que tiene como velocidad final son más que suficientes.
