#Ferrari250GTO

The Ferrari 250 GTO, introduced in 1962, is widely regarded as the most iconic GT car ever built. Designed to meet FIA Group 3 homologation rules, it was developed under the supervision of Giotto Bizzarrini and later refined by Mauro Forghieri and Sergio Scaglietti. Its 3.0-liter Colombo V12 engine, derived from the Testa Rossa, produced around 300 horsepower and was paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox, allowing for exceptional performance and reliability in endurance racing. Built on a tubular chassis with a wheelbase of 2,400 mm, the 250 GTO featured all-round disc brakes and a carefully honed aerodynamic body. In total, just 36 cars were produced between 1962 and 1964, including three Series II examples with subtly revised bodywork. Successful in period at Le Mans, Sebring, the Tour de France and countless other events, the 250 GTO remains a symbol of Ferrari’s golden era of motorsport. Whether in its original 1962 form or its rare 1964 evolution, the GTO continues to captivate collectors, historians, and enthusiasts around the world.
