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.
The 330 GT Shooting Brake, presented to the public at the 50th Turin Motor Show in 1968, probably went down in history as the last Ferrari to be coachbuilt by Alfredo Vignale. It caught the eye there, but not everyone liked it. And 50 years later, the American design is still causing a stir. This vehicle report tells the story of the Ferrari 330 GT Shooting Brake, which was designed by Luigi Chinetti Jr. together with Bob Peak and built by Vignale, illustrated with photos from the long life of the unique Ferrari station wagon.
Paul Frère's comparative test, in which the Belgian racing driver and journalist compared the Lamborghini 400 GT with its rivals, the Ferrari 330 GTC and Porsche 911 S, in 1966, comprises almost 30,000 letters. The author was well aware that the Porsche was actually in a different league, but found that the much cheaper car from Zuffenhausen could keep up surprisingly well with the two hot hatches from Italy. This article reproduces the original wording of the Motor-Revue test and is illustrated with historical pictures of the three vehicles.
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.
The Ferrari 330 GTC Zagato from 1974 somehow didn't quite fit in with the times. Perhaps it was because its chassis was already seven years old when the special Zagato body was shown at the Geneva Motor Show. Or perhaps it was the unorthodox lines. This vehicle report tells the story of this special car and its roots, supplemented by many current pictures and historical photographs.
At the end of the 1960s, the Ferrari 330 GTS was regarded as the most exclusive, elegant and sporty way to get around in an open-top car. Those who could afford it ordered one of the roadsters, which were limited to 100 units, and enjoyed the wind in their hair and the incomparable music of the V12 engine. This report is about a Ferrari 330 GTS from 1967, tells the story of the model and shows it in many photos.
