During the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este I filmed this 1953 Ferrari 375 MM.
The Ferrari 375 MM is a 12-cylinder Ferrari model that was built from 1953 to 1954. 26 exemplars were bodied by different coachbuilders in open and closed form. It was designed as a competition car and the letters ‘MM’ refer to the Mille Miglia, the legendary Italian endurance race that was the intended showground for this racing car. Aurelio Lampredi designed the 4.5 litre V12 engine, delivering 340 horsepower. This powerhouse made the 375 MM the ultimate warrior in sports-car racing during the early 1950s. The 375 model went on to be very successful in this discipline, achieving primary race wins in the hands of Scuderia and privateer drivers. A notable victory was the 1,000 km race at the Nürburgring and the Spa 24 Hours. Podium places here helped Ferrari to win the 1953 World Sportscar Championship with the 375 MM. The vehicle presented at the 2025 Edition of the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este is the very first of a mere 15 vehicles built. The spider was acquired in December 1953 by Piero Scotti, an Italian mineral-water magnate and amateur racing driver. Scotti debuted the car at the 12 Hours of Casablanca on 20th December of the same year, supported by Scuderia Ferrari, who sent Giuseppe ‘Nino’ Farina to partner Scotti. ‘Nino’ was the son and nephew respectively of the two Farina coachbuilders and the first-ever Formula 1 world champion. They achieved a commanding victory against strong opposition from Jaguar, Aston Martin and Talbot. The car overwintered in Africa, and Scotti entered the 375 MM for the Agadir Grand Prix and the 2 Hours of Dakar, the Grand Prix Sport del Senegal, both of which he won. The 375 MM was then raced successfully in Italy for the rest of the season, and Scotti won the Coppa della Toscana in Florence. He also entered the Mille Miglia in 1954 and 1955. In 1954, he was positioned in a promising third position until right before the end but ultimately he had to retire before crossing the finishing line. In 1955, he once more failed to be waved past the chequered flag. The Ferrari found its way to the United States after being retired from racing duties and underwent a series of restorations as it passed through the hands of several American owners.
In 2004, the Ferrari returned to Europe, where it was restored and shown at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este in 2007, as well as campaigning in the Mille Miglia. Since 2013, this important Ferrari 375 MM Spider is again in the custodianship of an American owner and has since remained away from the public gaze. This remarkable Ferrari 375 MM Spider exemplifies Ferrari’s golden era with its rare design and compelling competition history.
