The P3 Monoposto was the first genuine single-seat racing car in Grand Prix racing. It was powered by an eight-cylinder engine built around two four-cylinder blocks, each fed by its own Roots supercharger. The car designed by Vittorio Jano was introduced in June, halfway through the 1932 Grand Prix season in Europe, winning its first race at the hands of Tazio Nuvolari, and going on to win 6 races that year driven by both Nuvolari and Rudolf Caracciola, including all 3 major Grand Prix in Italy, France and Germany.
In the Coppa Acerbo race in Pescara in August, Alfa Romeo factory had entered their strong team of Nuvolari, Caracciola, Campari and Borzacchini in the new P3 monoposti. But at the time of the race Campari did not appear at all, Borzacchini drove just a 2.3-liter Monza and Nuvolari had been entrusted with the 2.6-liter P3 to drive for Scuderia Ferrari, just in this race. Tazio won by 14 seconds over Caracciola in the similar works Alfa Romeo car.
