Equipment
3997/650hp V-12, 5-speed sequential.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
One of nine Dallara-built cars. Raced by the Scandia Motorsport team. Retired at Daytona, then started on pole and finished fourth at Sebring. Won the Halifax 3 Hours overall and finished second at Atlanta, Mosport, and Texas World Speedway. Also notched top 10 finishes at Lime Rock, Sears Point, and New Orleans. Started on pole at Le Mans in 1996 but retired after 208 laps. More decent results followed in 1997, including sixth overall and second in class at Le Mans, the best overall finish for a 333 SP there. Used in a few private track events since, and represented with a recently rebuilt and upgraded gearbox. In race car condition with blemishes and aged finishes, but no major cause for concern.
Market commentary
Until Ferrari's triumphant return to Le Mans last year with the 499P, the last time the company tackled the top tier of international sports car racing was with the 333 SP. Developed in collaboration with Dallara, it borrowed heavily from Ferrari's F1 program and became the car to beat in the IMSA GT and European ISRS series. Just 40 examples were completed by Ferrari, Dallara, and Michelotto, so auction appearances are rare. The last one to actually sell at auction was a $2.1M car way back in 2015.
