About the Ferrari 250 GTO
The 250 GTO was developed for international GT racing and appeared in 1962. Its Scaglietti-built aluminium body and Colombo V12 combined with a five-speed gated gearbox and a remarkably effective chassis. Ferrari won the GT manufacturers’ championship in 1962, 1963 and 1964, with the GTO central to that success. Just 36 original 250 GTOs were made, so provenance and racing history make every surviving chassis exceptional.
