At the Geneva Motor Show in March 1962, a visibly proud Nuccio Bertone presented the Ferrari 250 GT SWB Berlinetta Speciale to the public. Giugiaro had created a masterpiece and the one-off is certainly one of the most valuable Ferrari sports cars of all time. This report describes the history and characteristics of Bertone's unique Ferrari coupé and shows it in contemporary and historical illustrations.
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.
The Ferrari 250 GTO is considered the most expensive car in history after one changed hands for USD 35 million in 2012. Just 39 examples were built, including three particularly rare 4-liter versions, also known as the 330 GTO. This report looks back at the history of the rare Gran Turismo sports car and portrays a 330 GTO in detail, supplemented by archive photos and the chassis list of the 39 GTO vehicles.
In 1963, Automobil Revue was able to drive the Ferrari 250 GTO, which had recently been acquired by Scuderia Filipinetti, from Modena to Lausanne and gather impressions.
In 1963, Hobby compiled the ten fastest sports cars in the opinion of the editors and compared them according to their characteristics. The contestants were: Aston-Martin DB 4, Chevrolet Corvette, Ferrari 250 GTO, Maserati 3500 GT, Ferrari 400 Superamerica, Jaguar Type E, Mercedes Benz 300 SL, Porsche Carrera 2, Maserati 5000 GT and Studebaker Avanti. However, it is not easy to get over the fact that the Hobby people made a mistake with the picture of the 250 GTO.
The idea was excellent. Ferrari had just finished the 1963 season very successfully. The 250 P, an open-top racing sports car with a mid-engine, was the dominant vehicle. The 250 GTO with a front-mounted engine, on the other hand, was getting on in years, so a resourceful mind in the design offices in Maranello came up with the idea of giving the 250 P a roof and calling it the GT. The car, which was built from 1964, was to be homologated in Group 3, but Ferrari was unable to produce the necessary 100 units, which meant that the car had to start as a prototype and stood almost no chance against even more uncompromising vehicles. Nevertheless, a 250 LM with Jochen Rindt at the wheel won at Le Mans in 1965. This report describes the circumstances surrounding the creation of the first Ferrari mid-engined road car and driving impressions gathered in 1983, supplemented with many illustrations.
The Ferrari 330 GT is one of the cheapest ways to get into an early Ferrari with a Colombo V12 engine. In fact, the relationship with the sports car legends GTO or SWB is greater than you might think and yet the prices are factors apart. Yet the 330 was popular in its active days and sold well, thanks not least to its racing roots, but of course also to its four-seater design. This report describes the history and origin of the Ferrari 330 GT (Series 2), of which 455 were built, and portrays a 1967 example in detail.
