The Ferrari 330 P4 was a 1967 mid-engine endurance sports car with a V12 intended to replace the 330 P3. Only four cars were built with the P4 engine: three new 330 P4s and one converted P3 chassis. The three-valve cylinder head was modeled after Formula 1 cars that had won the Italian Grand Prix; added to this was the fuel injection from the P3, enabling up to 450 hp-metric. At the 1967 24 Hours of Daytona, two P4s and one 412 P crossed the finish line together in first through third places—in response to the Ford photo at Le Mans in 1966.

Engineering
The cylinder head with three valves per cylinder was modeled after the Formula 1 cars that had won the Italian Grand Prix. Added to this was the fuel injection system of the P3; together they delivered up to 450 hp-metric. Ferrari built only four cars with the P4 engine: three new 330 P4s and one converted P3 chassis, specifically the one numbered 0846.
Fate of the chassis
Numbers 0856, 0858, and 0860 were originally Berlinettas and were converted by the factory into Spyders for the 1967 race at Brands Hatch. 0858 and 0860 were converted to 350 Can-Am specifications that same year; 0858 now wears P4 Berlinetta coachwork again and is owned by a German collector. 0856 acquired a new owner in 2020. In the 1-2-3 finish at Daytona in 1967, 0846 finished first, 0856 second, and the 412 P 0844 third.
