No other Ferrari has exerted such a fascination as the 250 GTO from the 1960s. With its appearance, an impressive classic was born. Thanks to its sporting performance and distinctive elegance, the 250 GTO is on almost everyone's lips today, as if it were a cult car.
In March 1961, people at Ferrari were getting nervous. The reason for this was the imminent presentation of a new Jaguar E-Type at the Geneva Motor Show. The car was seen as a serious competitor and Ferrari was very concerned about its supremacy in motorsport.
Enzo Ferrari acted immediately and commissioned Giotto Bizzarrini to design a new GT-class car. Bizzarrini decided to work with the 250GT/SWB, a model that had proven itself in tough tests. It was quite clear that the chassis would hardly change, if at all, while the wheelbase would remain the same at 2,400 mm. The resulting major changes concerned the rear axle, the body aerodynamics and the centre of gravity. In addition, an improved wheel assembly was provided.
The car received homologation with the new type designation 250 GTO, where „O“ stands for the Italian word „omologate“ (homologated, certified). However, due to a widely publicised „internal coup“ against Enzo Ferrari, several GTO designers, including Bizzarrini, had to leave the company. His successor was Mauro Foghieri, who set to work together with coachbuilder Sergio Scaglietti and finalised the development project. The new GTO had a breathtakingly beautiful body and was presented to the international press in Maranello in February 1962. The GTO made its racing debut in 1962 at the 12 Hours of Sebring in the USA. Its driver duo Phil Hill and Olivier Gendebien won the GT class and finished 2nd overall. From then on, the winning streak continued; Ferrari won the Constructors' Championship in 1962, 1963 and 1964 in succession. A total of 39 GTO cars were built, including three with a 4-litre engine.
Welcome to a replica of the 250 GTO, distinguished by the absolutely exceptional craftsmanship of CMC.
