Ferrari 250 GTO 1962, 1963, 1964

Ferrari 250 GTO


What is your favourite car of all time?


Ferrari 250 GTO 1962, 1963, 1964


Derived from a prototype which had run at Le Mans in 1961, the GTO is perhaps the best-known and best-loved of all classic Ferraris since it is a racing car which was used on the road. A 250 Testarossa with a roof, with 300bhp, a five-speed gearbox, and lighter than the 250 SWB, the GTO was formidable on the race circuits although, technically it was not legal because Ferrari did not build the 100 examples required for homologation. A 4-litre version was occasionally run by the works and 1964 cars were lower and wider, with "notch" back (like the 250 LM) Total production: 39 cars.
