	CarStuff: Driving Today
		It is perfectly in keeping with the Ferrari tradition that the car whose legend still resounds through history, the car many claim to be Enzo Ferrari's masterpiece, got its name as a literal afterthought.
		Designed to be the keeper of the flame in Ferrari's grand touring efforts, the 250 GTO was named for the fact it was homologated, which simply means it was approved for racing.
		One sop Ferrari did make to the FIA was the retention of the live rear axle from the 250 GT SWB instead of using an independent rear suspension.

		The first four-seat Ferrari, the 250 GT 2+2 was designed and built by Pininfarina to the tune of 950 examples.
		The 250 GT Lusso, as it was called, was a berlinetta designed by Pininfarina but produced by Carrozzeria Scaglietti on the short (2400 mm) wheelbase.
		Development of the 250 GT SWB Berlinetta was handled by Giotto Bizzarrini, Carlo Chiti, and young Mauro Forghieri, the same team that later produced the 250 GTO.

	Ferrari 250 - WOI Encyclopedia Italia
		The Ferrari V12 weighed hundreds of pounds less than its chief competitors — for example, it was nearly half the weight of the Jaguar XK straight-6 The light V12 propelled the small Ferrari 250 racing cars to victory after victory.
		The 250 MM's wheelbase was longer than the 250 S at 2420 mm (95 in), with the saloon 50 kg (110 lb) heavier than the 850 kg (1875 lb) barchetta on a conventional tube frame.
		Development of the 250 GT SWB Berlinetta was handled by Giotto Bizzarrini, Carlo Chiti, and young Mauro Forghieri, the same team that later produced the 250 GTO.

	Ferrari 250 GTO
		One of the few 1960’s Ferrari's not to have been designed or bodied by Pininfarina, the GTO was in fact styled by Giotto Bizzarrini, its distinctive silhouette remaining one of motorings most recognisable creations.
		Ferrari though, convincing the FIA that his new car was really only a slightly modified SWB, consequently got out of having to build the mandatory 100 GTO's and vanquished the opposition.
		Launched at Ferrari's annual press conference in February 1962, the new car was at this time yet to be fitted with its distinctive rear wing, both the first and second GTO's having to be retro-fitted with riveted aluminium-sheet spoilers.

	1962 - 1964 Ferrari 250 GTO - Top Speed
		The Ferrari 250 GTO is the most desirable and valuable car in the world,and is surrounded with controversy and myth.
		Ferrari was selective about potential owners, so if you were in the good graces of Ferrai Enzo, or his North American ambasador Luigi Chinetti, you would buy the best GT racing car available.
		The 250 GTO was perhaps the last car that could compete on such a level and still act as a normal road car, it was one of the last front-engined cars to be truly competitive at such a level.

	Ferrari 250 GTO (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The rest of the car was a well-balanced presentation of early-Sixties Ferrari technology: a hand-welded tube frame, A-arm front suspension and a live-axle rear end, disc brakes, Borrani wire wheels.
		However, Ferrari built only 39 250 GTOs (33 of the "normal" cars, three with four-liter engines (sometimes called 330GTOs), and three "Type 64" cars with revised bodywork) but nevertheless the car was allowed to race in the GT class.
		Some say that Ferrari successfully argued that the model was technically a modification of the 250 GT SWB, some say that Ferrari's clout was such that it was better for the sport to allow the team to compete instead of dealing with a petulant (and crowd-depressingly absent) Scudiera Ferrari.

		During this remarkable placement he held pace with Ferrari's factory team and was later offered a position by Enzo to drive in Forumula One which he turned down.
		Throughout Ferrari's colorful and successful history, only ten customer-bought Ferraris were bodied by Zagato up to 1973, making these cars one of the hardest to see in person.

	Ferrari 250 LM by Bburrago
		Ferrari's have often been named according to the swept volume of each cylinder, which in the case of the first LM made would be 250cc's/250 LM, as it had a 12 cylinder 3 litre engine.
		The LM was also the first roadgoing mid-engined Ferrari, although it is clear from it's rather muddled rear end styling that Pininfarina were not sure how a mid-engined road car should look.
		Today, 250 LM's are among the most prized of all Ferrari's, and command a price into the millions of dollars or pounds when they come onto the classic car market.

	Sports Car Market > Profiles and Price Guide > 1956 Ferrari 250 GT Boano Coupe
		Ferrari just called the Boano and its sister model, the Ellena, the "250 GT." However, like the later Daytona, their street names became the more popular identifiers and today these cars are generally known as Boanos and Ellenas, or low-roof and high-roof Boanos.
		Pinin Farina designed the model for Ferrari, but at the time the carrozzeria was moving to a larger facility and was not able to build the car.
		While the first 250 GTs built by Ellena were continuations of the Boano model, a redesign quickly appeared, and most Ellena-built 250 GTs featured a new, higher roof, and doors without vent windows.

	FERRARI 250 GT GRANTURISMO PININFARINA
		Among the innumerable victories of "250" Ferraris, let's just quote the two first positions won by the 250 TR in Le Mans in 1960 (the 250 SWB taking the 4, 5, 6 and 7th positions)...
		Ferrari 250 engines have a justified reputation of robustness, a quality which founded the innumerable successes of Ferrari in endurance races.
		When you consider the fifty thousand (!) modern Ferraris built, of which a good proportion is worth 100 to 150.000 Euros on the second hand market, you immediately realise the degree of desirability reached by the few hundreds "250" Ferraris - highly sought-after collector's items and jealously preserved by their owners.

		To continue the GT dominance, Ferrari realised that, after ten years, the successful 250 GT series had to be abandoned for a completely new car.
		Although the 250 LM was not as successful as its predecessors, it did manage to secure Ferrari's last overall LeMans victory and to this day it has a special spot in many Ferrari fan's hearts.
		Additionally, the cockpit of the 250 LM is even noisier, more cramped and hotter than the 250 GTO, making our busy driver miserable as he tries to save his life on the race track.

		Ferrari, as astute at catering to clients varied desires as he was at creating winning race cars, was always willing to provide specialized variations on his series-produced cars to satisfy a whim – when the whim was backed by a heavy checkbook.
		Introduced in 1959, the 250 GT Berlinetta was designed with three objectives: first, to be more aerodynamically efficient; second, to be as compact as possible; and third, to provide appropriate accommodations and luggage space for a true grand turismo automobile.
		The 250 GT SWB Berlinetta is the last true dual purpose grand turismo built in quantity by Ferrari – or anyone else for that matter – and is in all respects a fitting milestone to mark the end of a legendary age.

		Beautifully proportioned, the new 250 GT blended a low-slung nose, reminiscent of that of the 400 Superamerica, with a sculpted Kamm tail by means of some of the most exquisite lines yet seen on an automobile.
		One of just 350 250 GT Lussos made, this superbly presented example has been restored to the highest standards and is finished in classic red with fl interior.
		Other unusual touches (for Ferrari, at least) include a horn button at the end of a stalk within reach of the driver’s fingers, a one-piece seat with no articulation (only forward and back adjustment) and a quilted vinyl covering (echoing the underhood pad in many Ferraris) in the rear parcel area.

		For the 1962 manufacturer's championship, focus was switched from sports prototypes to grand touring cars and Ferrari was provided with increased motivation to further develop their 250 GT as much as the rules would allow.
		Since the GTO was an 'evolution' of the largely produced 250 GT road car, it was within rules, although the five-speed gearbox and dry sump lubrication were never factory road car options.
		Ferrari was unable to homologate their rear engine 250 LM and instead developed a competition version of the 275 GTB, which really became the '65 GTO.

		Possibly the most famous and sought after Ferrari ever, the 250 GTO is certainly one of the most beautiful.
		It's swooping bodylines and that distinctive cut-off tail were styled by Giotto Bizzarrini who used the wind tunnel at the University of Pisa in a series of experiments to find a body shape to counter the front end lift common in cars at that time.
		The car itself was (according to Enzo Ferrari) a development of the 250 GT SWB, in fact the GTO was markedly different and Ferrari's claims were merely a dodge so that he wouldn't have to build the 100 cars required for homologation.

		Updates from the 550 include a renewed interior, but with substantial improvements inside, including bigger brake discs, a larger and more powerful engine, a different weight distribution, refined aerodynamics and fluid-dynamics and an adaptive suspension set-up (the four independent suspensions are also controlled by the gearbox, to minimize pitch throughout the 200-milliseconds gear shift).
		Designed to recall the 250GTZ and commemorate the 50th anniversary of the 250 range, the GTZ was officially endorsed by Ferrari and includes Zagato's trademark double-bubble roofline and two-tone paint.

		The 250 GT berlinetta Tour de France, the 250 GT short-wheelbase Spyder California, and the legendary 250 GTO were cars of this era.
		Certainly you want to avoid a Ferrari that’s nothing but iron oxide, but a little rust on the rocker panels, leading edges of the doors or under the windshield wipers (all common spots for rust on 2+2s) is preferable to a blown engine.
		The 250 and 330 2+2s are basically understeerers, but if you tweak the steering wheel at the right moment, break the rear wheels loose and use the throttle for control, you can corner the old gals surprisingly well.
