Ferrari’s sports and race car 250 GTO debuted in 1962, purposely built to enter the GT class in racing competitions.
In fact, this model benefits from the 250 Testa Rossa’s V12 engine, as well as from the 250 GT SWB’s chassis, in order to achieve such racing intentions. As a result, the 250 GTO has ruled the World Sports Car championship for quite a long time.
The ‘GTO’ letters on its nameplate stand for ‘Gran Turismo Omologato’, which is Italian for ‘Grand Touring Homologated’. The numbers ‘250’ are a reference to the displacement of each of the engine’s cylinders, measured in cubic centimeters.
With this car, Ferrari remained faithful to its characteristic technology system at that time.
Stopping production in 1964, with no more than 39 units built (33 in standard body), making the 250 GTO one of the world’s most expensive, yet wanted, automobiles.
