Coachbuilt Lampredi V12 flagship succeeding the Ferrari 375 — presented as a rolling chassis at Paris 1955.
Presented as a rolling chassis at the 1955 Paris Motor Show and as a complete car at the 1956 Brussels Motor Show, the 410 Superamerica succeeded the Ferrari 375 (America, MM & Plus) as the marque's Lampredi V12 grand touring flagship.
Bodies were coachbuilt, mostly by Pinin Farina, and specification varied car by car across three chassis series.
Ferrari's Lampredi V12 flagship of the mid-to-late 1950s and the immediate predecessor of the 400 Superamerica line. Coachbuilder identity, chassis series and originality are decisive; there is no standard example against which to measure others.
| Variant | Years | Production | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 410 Superamerica Series I | 1955–1956 | — | First series. 2,800 mm wheelbase. 4,962cc Lampredi V12, 340 bhp. Bodies coachbuilt, principally by Pinin Farina. |
| 410 Superamerica Series II | 1956–1957 | — | Wheelbase shortened to 2,600 mm. 4,962cc Lampredi V12, 340 bhp. Bodies coachbuilt, principally by Pinin Farina. |
| 410 Superamerica Series III | 1958–1959 | — | From late 1958. 2,600 mm wheelbase. 4,962cc Lampredi V12, 360 bhp — revised cylinder heads. Bodies coachbuilt, principally by Pinin Farina. |
Any purchase should begin at Ferrari Classiche in Maranello. Confirm chassis and engine identity, coachbuilder attribution and every body-specific record before pricing. For the 410 Superamerica specifically, confirm the chassis series (I, II or III), coachbuilder attribution — principally Pinin Farina — and any Series III revised-cylinder-head specification against Ferrari Classiche's records.
Coachbuilt Ferraris of this era were bodied individually. Confirm the specific coachbuilder against Ferrari Classiche's records and period photography, and reject any car whose bodywork attribution cannot be documented.
Restoration standard is decisive. Confirm the extent of any body, trim or mechanical restoration, the coachbuilder-competence of the shop that carried it out, and the originality of engine, gearbox and driveline against Ferrari Classiche's records.
Ownership continuity is a material value driver. Confirm the ownership record, matching identity of engine and chassis, and any period competition or concours record against the Ferrari Classiche archive.

Restored Series III cars anchor the top of the market at $5–6.6M; Series I and Series II typically trade below that, and even unrestored project-condition cars have exceeded $2.8M. A Series III went unsold against a $6–8M estimate at RM Sotheby's Monterey in 2021.
