Ferrari 166 MM/212 "Uovo" - the egg that Enzo Ferrari didn't like

March 22, 2017 — Bruno von Rotz 34

In the early 1950s, Ferrari supplied the fastest cars for those who wanted to win the Mille Miglia. However, these cars were not fast enough for Giannino Marzotto and he sought a remedy, commissioning an aerodynamic coupé body from Fontana to make the car faster and lighter. Although the great successes failed to materialize, the body has survived to this day. This vehicle report portrays the egg-shaped Ferrari 166MM/212 "Uovo" from 1950 and shows it in many pictures.

Ferrari 166 MM Touring - the cornerstone of an unprecedented success story

February 21, 2017 — Bruno von Rotz 61

Between 1949 and 1953, Ferrari and Touring Superleggera built exactly 25 examples of the 166 MM Touring Barchetta. These were used very successfully in racing, as evidenced by a victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and another at the Mille Miglia in 1949. Today, these simple and elegant open-top sports cars are among the most sought-after Ferraris of all. This report describes the Ferrari 166 MM and shows it in current and historical pictures.
