The Ferrari 330 P2 was created in 1965 alongside the 275 P2 as an entirely new car with a lower, lighter chassis and a more aerodynamic body. Its revised 3967 cm³ V12 had four camshafts and produced 410 hp. Luigi Chinetti's NART team first campaigned it in the race at Daytona, and a P2 won the 1000 km at the Nürburgring. It differed distinctly from the 275 P2 in engine output, which depended on the displacement of the twelve-cylinder. For 1966, it was superseded by the P3.

Technical details
The 330 P2 also dispensed with the classic tubular spaceframe: Fantuzzi crafted a semi-monocoque chassis made of riveted aluminum panels, as had been standard on the Formula 1 cars since 1963. The rear suspension came from the 158. It also featured wider wheels, tubeless Dunlop racing tires, and a newly developed five-speed gearbox. The 60-degree V12 had quad overhead camshafts, six Weber twin-choke carburetors, and two spark plugs per cylinder; a 77 mm bore and 71 mm stroke resulted in 3969 cm³.
Performance and competition
Power is stated as 410 hp at 8200 rpm, according to other sources 420 hp at 8000 rpm. Luigi Chinetti's NART first campaigned the 330 P2 at the Daytona race.
