The Ferrari 250 GTO model was the ultimate development of the company’s 250 GT series in competition form, whilst still being useable as a road car, so it was still able to be driven to the track, raced and driven home. It made its public debut at the annual pre-season Ferrari press conference in January 1962, and made its competition debut in the Sebring 12 Hour Race, driven by Phil Hill and Olivier Gendebien, where it finished 2nd overall to a Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa sports racing car, and won the GT category in the process.
The 250 GTO had a 2400mm wheelbase chassis, with factory type reference 539/62 Comp., and then 539/64 Comp, featuring four wheel disc brakes, independent front suspension, a rigid rear axle with Watts links, and was available in both left and right hand drive forms. The shape of the Scaglietti designed and built aluminium bodies, refined from an original Giotto Bizzarrini design, remained virtually unchanged during the production period from 1962 to 1964, apart from a one-off example bodied in the style of the 330 LM berlinetta, and the last three cars in the series, which received Pininfarina designed and Scaglietti built bodies similar to those which featured on the mid-engine 250 LM sports racing car. Four of the original ’62 style cars were also re-bodied in this style during 1964. The differences between the individual cars were mainly around the nose. The early cars in the series had a small elliptical radiator opening, bounded by rectangular driving lights, initially with brake cooling ducts under the nose, which then changed to vertical brake cooling slots in the nose alongside the driving lights, with the sidelights mounted below the Plexiglass shrouded headlights. The rear spoiler was bolted to the tail panel, and there were cabin exhaust air slots in the sail panel. The brake cooling ducts then had a circular configuration, and the side lights moved to a semi recessed location in the wing sides. The tail spoiler was initially bolted to the tail panel, but then became a riveted part of the body profile. All of the ’62 body style cars, had three removable “D” shaped panels on the upper face of the nose, the pattern being repeated with three openings in the underside of the nose panel. The ’64 bodied cars and re-bodies, similarly have detail differences, but these are mostly relative to the roof shape, which was either long, short with integral spoiler, or short without spoiler, whilst the bonnet had either had a long slim tapered bulge running into the nose panel, or a projecting cold air intake.
The power unit was basically a 250 Testa Rossa specification version of the Colombo single overhead camshaft per bank 3 litre V12 engine, with bore and stroke of 73mm x 58.8mm, but using dry sump lubrication, with factory type references 168 Comp/62, featuring a bank of six twin choke Weber 38 DCN carburettors fitted with ram pipes, to produce a claimed 300 bhp. The engine was coupled to a new five speed all synchromesh gearbox, with an open gate gear change tower in the cockpit. As on the preceding 250 GTs a wide range of rear axle ratios were available.
The GTO berlinettas continued the run of competition success of the preceding “passo lungo” and “passo corto” models, and with the manufacturers championship being transferred to the GT category from 1962, gave Ferrari a hat trick of championship victories from 1962-64. Amongst their multitude of successes were high profile wins in the Tour de France in 1963 and 1964, GT class wins in the Targa Florio in 1962, 1963, and 1964, victories in the Tourist Trophy at Goodwood in 1962 and 1963, with GT category wins at Le Mans in 1962 and 1963, and in the Nurburgring 1000km in 1963 and 1964.
The 250 GTO was the ultimate expression of the Ferrari 3 litre GT car, and with only a relatively short and small production run of thirty six (in including the 3 original ’64 style bodied GTO’s) examples, with an outstanding racing pedigree, it has become one of the icons in the company’s production history, which has once again placed it in GT pole position, but this time in car collector’s circles.
The 33 Ferrari 250 GTOs original with ’62 body style in Chassis # Sequence
The Ferrari 250 GTO model was the ultimate development of the company’s 250 GT series in competition form, whilst still being useable as a road car, so it was still able to be driven to the track, raced and driven home.
It made its public debut at the annual pre-season Ferrari press conference in January 1962, and made its competition debut in the Sebring 12 Hour Race, driven by Phil Hill and Olivier Gendebien, where it finished second overall to a Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa sports racing car, and won the GT category in the process.
How many were made ?
Part of the lure of the GTO is its exclusivity ; only 39 were built.
In theory at least 100 should have been built, as this was the number required to qualify the car at the time for international sports car racing. In fact the letters “GTO” stand for “Gran Turismo Omologato” which translates into“Grand Touring Homologated” or “approval for racing”.
It was either Enzo Ferrari’s name or his inscrutable charm that enabled the rule makers to let the technicality slip by.
You may have heard conflicting accounts of exactly how many GTOs came from the Ferrari factory, with 40, 36, 33 or 32 as oft heard numbers. For the record, this is the breakdown :
– 32* 250 GTOs with the series 1 body
– 03* 330 GTOs with the series 1 body
– 03* 250 GTOs with the series 2 body
– 01* 250 GTO with LMB bodywork
*Not counted as part of the 32 is s/n 2643 GT, the GTO prototype built by Pininfarina on a 250 GT SWB chassis. This is why the total Ferrari GTO count is sometimes listed as 40.
The 250 GTO had a 2400mm wheelbase chassis, with factory type reference 539/62 Comp., and then 539/64 Comp, featuring four wheel disc brakes, independent front suspension, a rigid rear axle with Watts links, and was available in both left and right hand drive forms.
