Automotive significance
The 333 SP marked Ferrari’s return to building a top-level sports prototype after two decades without a comparable programme, but it was not a works racing campaign in the traditional 1960s and early-1970s sense. Private teams bought and raced the cars with Ferrari technical support. Its carbon-fibre and aluminium-honeycomb chassis and high-revving V12 produced a long customer-racing career across North America and Europe.
