For 1964, Ferrari developed the improved 275 P and 330 P models from the 250 P, featuring larger engines and subtly modified bodywork; the tubular spaceframe and most other components remained identical. The 275 P featured a Testa Rossa engine bored out to 3.3 liters, while the 330 P had a 4.0-liter Colombo V12 based on the 400 Superamerica road car. The 330 P delivered more power (370 bhp versus 320 bhp) but, at 785 kg, also weighed more than the 755 kg 275 P. Both raced alongside each other; their most famous triumph was the 1-2-3 finish at Le Mans in 1964.

Chassis and engines
Production included three brand-new chassis and the conversion of all four 250 P chassis. Because engines were swapped between the two types as needed, it is not possible to state clearly how many chassis ran with which engine. Some drivers appreciated the extra power of the 330 P, while others preferred the nimbler handling of the 275 P, which is why both types were campaigned alongside each other. They were entered by Scuderia Ferrari, NART, and Maranello Concessionaires.
1-2-3 finish at Le Mans
The most famous success was the 1-2-3 finish at Le Mans in 1964. Victory went to a Scuderia Ferrari-entered 275 P driven by Guichet and Vaccarella. Hill and Bonnier finished second in a Maranello Concessionaires 330 P, and Bandini and Surtees third in a Scuderia 330 P.
