Ferrari250 GT Berlinetta

Short Wheelbase, Competizione

Enzo Ferrari's answer to the question of whether a road car could win at Le Mans.

The short-wheelbase 250 GT did both — class wins at the Tour de France and Monza, then quiet Sunday drives through the Apennines.

This chassis is one of seventy-four competition examples. Disc brakes, aluminum body, and a Colombo V12 that still pulls cleanly to 7,500 rpm.
