About the Real-Life VehicleThe actual Ferrari 500 Superfast was the undisputed flagship grand tourer of the mid-1960s. It was handcrafted for the absolute elite, counting royalty, heads of state, and icons like Peter Sellers and the Shah of Iran among its owners.Extremely Rare Production: Only 36 total standard units were ever built between 1964 and 1966.The Series 2 Distinction: Of those 36 cars, the Series 2 accounts for the rarest subgroup—with just 12 examples produced. The main mechanical upgrade for Series 2 was a fully synchronized 5-speed manual transmission, replacing the earlier 4-speed overdrive setup. Visually, the side vents on the front fenders transitioned from 11 small louvers to 3 large, bold slats.Incredible Performance: It was powered by a massive 5.0-liter Colombo-designed V-12 engine churning out an astonishing 400 horsepower. It could achieve a top speed of roughly 170–175 mph (R&T clocked it at 177 mph), making it the fastest production car of its era.Astounding Value: Because of its immense historical value and rarity, real examples easily command upwards of $3 million at elite auctions today.
