	Ferrari 250 GTO - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Ferrari 250 GTO was a supercar and auto racing car made by Ferrari in the early 1960s.
		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) Scuderia Ferrari.
		The 250 GTO arrived as perhaps the last car that could compete on such a level and still act as something of a normal road car; more visibly, it was one of the last front-engined cars to be truly competitive at such a level.

	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.

	Driving Today
		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.
		The GTO maintained the SWB's 94.5-inch wheelbase, and chassis was constructed of alloy tubing, but the construction details were different with the goal a stiffer chassis.
		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.

	Ferrari GTO
		The Ferrari GTO is the direct descendant of the Ferrari 250 GT.
		Enzo Ferrari claimed the GTO was only part of the 250 GT SWB series (of which many were produced) as his justification for the GTO's homologation.
		The price for a new GTO was about $23,000 which may seem ludicrous now but was a lot in 1962; so much that it probably was the limiting factor when it came to production quantity.
