Ferrari's top model in 1953 was the 375 and it was reserved for their most important clientele. Each was custom built and and some were completely one-of designs.

Like the 342 America it replaced, the 375 was based on a detuned version of the Lampredi Grand Prix engine in a typical tubular steel chassis. For the 375, increased displacement offered 300 bhp.

The 375 was also enlarged to a 2800mm wheelbase which added around 150 kg to the overall eight of the car. Despite the increased bulk, the car had a top speed of 250 kph.
