		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 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.

		The GTO was powered by a 2,855cc 90° V8 Twin Turbocharged all alloy engine, arranged longitudinally behind the passenger cabin in unit with the rear transaxle.
		The driver was faced with a Ferrari standard three-spoke, leather-rimmed wheel and highly readable orange-on-fl gauges the most important in the binnacle with auxiliaries angled in from the center of the dashboard.

	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.

	Ferrari 250 GTO - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However, Ferrari built only 39 250 GTOs (33 of the "normal" cars, three with four-liter 330 engines (sometimes called the "330 GTO" but properly the 330 LMB), 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) 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 288 GTO
		The 288 GTO (the "288" part of the name derived from the then tradition of litres+cylinders 2.8 litres and 8 cylinders in this case) was designed to raise the stakes in the supercar leagues.
		By the time the 288 GTO Evoluzione was developed as the race version of the car the FISA had decided to stop the Group B class.
		Ferrari's GTO had a spartan interior, rear-wheel drive only and very little in the way of luxury.

		During its heyday, the GTO dominated the World Sports Car championship, and it is still one of the most beautiful shapes ever to grace a Ferrari chassis.
		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.

		Ferrari left the horse fl as it had been on Baracca's plane; however, he added the canary yellow background because it was the symbolic color of his birthplace, Modena.
		Ferrari was officially hired by Alfa Romeo as head of their racing department in 1938, then in 1940, upon learning of the company's plan to take control of his beloved Scuderia, he quit Alfa.
		Ferrari did in fact produce one race car, the Tipo 815, in the non-competition period; it was thus the first actual Ferrari car, but due to the war it saw little competition.

		First produced in 1962, the GTO was basically an updated version of the 250 GT SWB (for Short Wheelbase) with an all-new body built to be a combination road and race car.
		The intent of the GTO was in its name: "Gran Turismo Omologato." This roughly translates to "Grand Touring Homologation," meaning that the car was sold as a road car solely to qualify it for GT competition.
		Of course, the engine was Ferrari's glorious light-alloy 3.0-liter V12 with 60 degrees separating the two banks of cylinders and a half dozen Weber carburetors filling the valley between them.

		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.

		This naming is widely considered to be a very effective ruse, by which Ferrari convinced the FAI (international sanctioning body for racing) that this car was a version of Ferrari's mass produced 250 GT.
		In order to help insure the success of this sham, Ferrari even interspersed the GTO production numbers among those of the GT so it would look as though the two models were produced on the same production line.
		Ferrari insisted the GTOs were the same as the GTs, only with optional bodywork modifications.

	Ferrari GTO
		If you are only a little familiar with Ferraris, the 1984 GTO (often referred to as the "288 GTO", although the official factory nomenclature was just "GTO") might be indistinguishable from the standard Ferrari 308, which was their most popular model.
		The 1984 GTO is 4.3 inches longer than the standard 308; this was necessary when the drivetrain mounting was changed from transverse to longitudinal.
		The essence of a Ferrari, its engine, is very special in the 1984 recreation.

		Although they both had the some goals -- to go fast -- one did it on road coarses, the other on drag strips, so they did not even agree on the definition of fast.
		Wheather by design or coincidence, this fact has caused the two cars to be compared and has generated a bond that will exist as long as fast cars are admired.
		Maybe it was too obvious or just too tempting, but Car and Driver felt that testing the Pontiac and Ferrari GTOs in 1964 and 1984 was a good idea.

		In 1984 Ferrari produced a street-legal car with incredible raw perormance and beauty with a 2.8 liter twin turbocharged V8 and power output of 400bhp, the Ferrari 288 GTO (Gran Turismo Omologata).
		For the FISA Group B racing, it was necessary for Ferrari to homologate 200 customer cars of which a total of 272 cars were eventually built.
		What is unique is that none of the 288 GTO's were ever imported to the U.S. by Ferrari North America so only special orders with authorized Ferrari dealers who were required to Federalize the special order cars made it to the U.S. making this a very rare car here.
