The Ferrari 330 America of 1963 was an interim model that is almost forgotten today. It adopted the chassis and bodywork of the 250 GT/E 2+2, and externally the two are virtually indistinguishable; only some examples carried an “America” badge on the rear. What was new was the 4.0-liter Tipo 209 V12 with 300 PS, used in a Ferrari road car for the first time. With a five-speed gearbox, it reached around 250 km/h. 50 units were built before the larger 330 GT 2+2 replaced it in early 1964.

The 330 America shared its chassis with the outgoing 250 GT/E, but not its engine: the new Tipo 209 had a 4.0-liter displacement and produced 300 PS at 6600 rpm. Visually, the car was nearly identical to the Series 3 250 GT/E, with some examples carrying an "America" badge on the rear. The suspension matched that of the 250 GTE, and the body had been designed by Pininfarina three years prior. Power was transmitted to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission.
