Arguably the most expensive car in the world, the Ferrari 250 GTO is indeed an Italian icon of motor sport and with more curves than a race track it looks every bit the part. Since the 1940’s Enzo Ferrari has been building and designing winning sports cars for the track and thanks to homologation, for the road as well. The Ferrari 250 GTO is just one of such cars and all 36 ever made are still alive and accounted for today.

Prior to the 1962 racing season Ferrari had already built 200 competition cars based on the 250 GT constantly improving it until they finally produced the 250 GTO which became the production car responsible for spreading the Ferrari name worldwide. Early tests with Sterling Moss behind the wheel at Monza and then further input off track with aerodynamics and structural requirements helped get the GTO ready for production and at a press release on 24th of February 1962 a Ferrari was born.
