Produced between 1948 and 1950 the 166 Inter got the first Ferrari V12 engine to reach 2-litre capacity. The model was available in both open-top and hardtop variants.

Although the Inter series were built as road cars, many owners used them frequently in competition.
The model was powered by a V12 aluminium 2.0l engine with 90hp coupled with a 5-speed transmission.
