It seems strange to think of a Ferrari that “went unnoticed” but, at the Cavallino Classic, in Florida, the most important competition in the world dedicated to cars made in Maranello, this too can happen. The Ferrari 410 Superamerica is one of those models that is often underestimated even by Ferrari collectors themselves. What penalizes it the most is both the lack of any sporting history – the Superamerica was not created to race but for luxury tourism – and also its large size, which makes it perfect for the highways but less ideal on winding routes. In short, the Superamerica, which doesn’t fall into that socially accepted archetype of the thoroughbred Ferrari, a car that to be tamed on the curves of the Apennines or of the racetracks across the world, occupies a secondary role in Ferrari collecting. And it’s a shame, because few cars like this represent the perfect combination of performance, style and driving comfort.
