Only 36 units were produced between 1962 and 1964, making it one of the rarest and most sought-after vehicles in the world. The 250 GTO was built around a lightweight chassis and powered by a 3.0-liter V12 engine, producing around 300 horsepower—a remarkable figure for its era.

Its combination of reliability, power, and handling made it the car to beat in its class, securing Ferrari multiple FIA GT World Championships. Famous drivers like Phil Hill and Stirling Moss took the wheel of the 250 GTO, solidifying its reputation among racing legends.
