Origins
The 735 S followed the four-cylinder strategy that Ferrari had already begun with the 625 TF. According to the German source, all three Spiders received the same bodywork developed by Ferrari in-house in 1953, which was a rare exception at the time; the English source lists Autodromo, Pinin Farina, and Scaglietti as coachbuilders. Because Lampredi had personally submitted the design, the development time remained very short. The Barchetta had recessed headlights and vents in the fenders.
