Summary

Maserati had shown with the 3500 GT that a comfortable coupé that could also accommodate more than two people could find buyers, even a surprisingly large number of buyers. Enzo Ferrari did not want to stand by and watch, and so the Ferrari 250 GT 2+2 was created, which was so good that Enzo himself enjoyed driving it. And it is still appreciated by its owners today as a pleasant traveling companion. This vehicle report tells the story of the 2+2-seater coupé, illustrated with current and historical pictures. The sound sample is also included.

This article contains the following chapters

Maserati had shown with the 3500 GT that a comfortable coupé that could also accommodate more than two people could find buyers, even a surprisingly large number of buyers. Enzo Ferrari did not want to stand by and watch, and so the Ferrari 250 GT 2+2 was born. Work on the new coupé had already begun in 1959, and Pininfarina was closely involved from the outset. For Ferrari, a coupé suitable for families was something completely new. Although there had certainly been Ferrari sports cars with more than two seats in the early fifties, these were always special bodies that had been created by Ghia and sometimes also by Pininfarina at the customer's request. However, the rear seats had usually been purely emergency seats.
