Ferrari 166 MM, 1950
V-12, 2.0 litre, 140 hp, Chassis no. 0064
'Of all the cars I have driven, I can never forget my first Ferrari' declared Gianni Agnelli, the head of Fiat. This is his car.
The Ferrari 166 was a striking success for the emerging Ferrari company. The new body style, from the celebrated firm of Touring in Milan, was christened 'barchetta' (little boar) and revolutionised post-war sports car design. It was relatively easy to enlarge the capacity of Gioacchino Colombo's V-12 engine, so in 1948 Ferrari was able to create this new model with a two litre engine and more power.

Ferrari: Under the Skin (November 2017 to April 2018)
In an Italy ravaged by the Second World War, Enzo Ferrari and a small team decided to create the perfect racing machine. The exhibition will explore Ferrari’s powerful personality, the design and manufacturing process, the famous clientele and the future of the luxury car brand.
From the very first Ferrari to Michael Schumacher’s winning Formula One car and the newest hybrid model, the exhibition features rare cars and memorabilia displayed in public for the first time. Discover the Ferrari experience through original hand-drawn sketches, sculpture-like models and engines, alongside films and interviews telling one of the great design stories of all time.
