Ferrari 315 S



This is the last car to win the Mille Miglia race in Italy when it was held on open public roads. Sadly another Ferrari blew a tire at 160 miles per hour killing driver Alfonso de Portago and navigator Edmund Nelson along with nine spectators. The tragedy ended open road racing in Italy. This car was built by Ferrari to compete with the more powerful, but less reliable, Maserati.
