Ferrari 250 GTO, 1962
V-12, 3.0 litre, 300 hp, Chassis no.2643GT
The GTO is widely considered to be the most significant and iconic Ferrari of all. The car grew out of the highly successful 250 series, masterminded by the talented engineer Giotto Bizzarini. It had more power, better suspension and a modern aerodynamic design to deliver stability as well as speed - shown by the kicked-up tail. The car was refined by wind tunnel test at the University of Pisa.
The GTO tag stands for 'Grand Turismo Omologato' - meaning that Ferrari promised to homologate it by building 100 examples since the governing motorsport body, the FIA, excluded special racing cars from the Group 3 sports car championship.
