The 1956 Ferrari Superamerica “Superfast” took home the prestigious “Best of Show” title at the 2023 The Quail: A Motorsports Gathering. This exclusive event, held at the Quail Lodge & Golf Club in Carmel, California, is part of the renowned Monterey Car Week and is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year.

This particular Ferrari, owned by Anne Brockinton Lee, stood out among more than 200 entries and was inducted into the Rolex Circle of Champions. What makes it unique is its recent multi-year restoration, featuring a one-of-one chassis and a futuristic tail fin design.

Under the hood, the Ferrari Superamerica boasts a 4.9-liter Lampredi V12 engine with twin ignition and 24 spark plugs. This engine is believed to have been used in the development of Ferrari’s long-distance racing 410 Sports, making it a significant piece of automotive history. It is also one of only four special-bodied prototypes for the 410 Superamerica and the only one designed by Pininfarina, adding to its exclusivity.

In addition to the Ferrari Superamerica, other notable winners at the 2023 The Quail event included a 1949 Lancia Aprilia Supergioello winning the Spirit of The Quail award, a 1962 Lancia Appia Convertible Vignale receiving the Hagerty Drivers Foundation & Preservation Award, and a 1953 Delahaye 135MS CL Spéciale Faget-Varnet taking home The Art of Bespoke Award.
