The Legend of Ferrari's 250 Series | From TR to GTO
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 сер 2024
- We chart the history of Ferrari's most revered masterpieces: the 250 Series. All shared the same Colombo V12 engine and they became synonymous with the post-war Prancing Horse racing efforts. Early models saw huge success including the 250 Testa Rossa - that achieved three wins at Le Mans and four wins at Sebring - while the 250 SWB, GTO, California and Tour De France models are now seen as some of the most desirable Ferraris ever made. From there Ferrari built on the racing heritage of the 250s to become one of the most celebrated sportscar and luxury car builder of all time. This is the story of the Ferrari 250. #Ferrari #Ferrari250 #gwoverdrive

Yes, we know you've seen it before, we used an image we shouldn't have, we're sorry. Now, just let us know the best Ferrari 250 of them all 👇
Only a british clip would start with all those examples in the beginning with all british cars 😄

I am not a Ferrari Fan , but you have to love the looks and story.
Ferrari doesn't have fans but passionate people. Just pure passion not fanatics

*365 GTB/4* not 356 GTB/4. Great video!
Work of Art indeed !
In 1993 I built my own.
Not quite the McBurney Body, but a nice V. I put it on my 73 Datsun 240Z and dropped in a 60s Chevy 283. I smiled everyday I walk out my front door.
While the late Sir Stirling Moss was an outstanding driver, Carroll Shelby contributed to the success of Aston Martin in 1959 and should have been mentioned.
Merely contributed? He won it with Roy Salvadori!
The beauty and the glorious racing history of Ferrari is still unmatched by anyone. Legendary cars all of them.
One of the first prototype GTOs was galled "the goose" because it resembled a goose bill, from the 2 radiator inlets it had, instead of the familiar 3. It was changed to 3 inlets for better cooling, and had removable covers, to regulate coolant temperatures.
Always thought the berlinetta was the classiest of the 250s but it seems everyone else is in love with the gto.
There are a lot of beatiful and fast car around the world, like Porsche, Bugatti, Jaguar, Alfa Romeo, Maserati, but I think that the 250GTO is "the car", the most iconic car ever. Once Enzo Ferrari said: "If you give to a child, paper and colors and ask him to draw a car, certainly he will make it red" (Se dai a una bambino un foglio e dei colori, e gli chiedi di disegnare un'auto, sicuramente la farà rossa) ;)
1:10 "158 the alfetta debuted in 1937 and was blown away by the mighty silver arrows from mercedes and auto union"- incorrect information! Alfetta debuted in her first race in 1938, not 1937! They didn't blown away Alfetta because she was competing in another class (voiturette) in which she was very successful! Voiturette class was for racing cars with 1.5-litre engines, standing in the same relation to the top 'Grand Prix' formula (usually for 3-litre engines) as the Formula Two does to Formula One today. Alfa's 3-litre racing cars in 1938 and 1939 were the Tipo 308, 312 and 316, these were the cars that fought vs silver arrows!
Hands up to the fact that I didn't know a lot of those fact,... Fascinating stuff, and for the record, I've always preferred the 250 short wheelbase 😊
I have to call this narrator out on the Daytona , which he called the 356 ,
It’s 365 , the 356 is a Porsche !! Ha ha !! Oh well, great video nonetheless!
The price was right at 1600 bucks including 4 bald tires and engine smoke , ........... and I passed.
I feel you. as I have a similar story with a Porsche. And my dad passed on a 4 cylinder Ferrari in the late 60s.
356 Daytona ;)
You're about 106 out there.
More like this! Thanks. 😊👍
ciao dall'italia...bellissimo goodwood
Had to watch it twice.
Was it Fiberfab or Aztec that made Ferrari bodies?
The Alfetta wasn’t intended to race against the Germans. What did a 1.5 liter V12 have to do with a Packard? Also the fast sports racers in the 50s like the 335S and the 412 had a different DOHC engine. And Moss didn’t win Le Mans for Aston in ‘59, Shelby and Salvadori did.
Never cared much for the GTO, however The 250 SWB is definitely more pretty
Well you’re wrong. :)
The 250 GTO is the symbol of excess for the mega rich class. As beautiful as however it may be, the modern interpretation of how we view these material collectibles might as well be something horrific.
Thank you. Just the words I was looking for but couldn't musted beyond sickening.
Are there any debates as to how many were made or not really? Is it 39?
There were 36 250 GTO’s, but there are also 3 4 liter models with nearly identical bodywork which is why the numbers quoted are 39. 36 is the correct number
Again Giotto Bizzarini designed the GTO!
Magnifique mais je comprends pas toujours l'anglais ! Je vais peut être mis mettre pour moi la plus belle c'était la 250swb 2649 de papa avec ces phares caréné .il était sur la tsr le 11 octobre 2020 le jour de mon anniversaire .un bon père .je fais des progrès a v c ce qui me tue pas me rends plus fort . amicalement lepeltierferrari 👍 Genève Suisse
Why is there a small block Ford V8 shown after the line of Packard sedans? To my knowledge there’s no relation of it to any V12’s and certainly no influence to Ferrari in the 1950s.
The graphics and pictures of Columbo and Lampredi are all wrong, very sloppy!
Poor, butchered, Italian pronunciation again 😢 and usual errors and omissions 👎🏻
Testarossa means red testicles.
There really is a lot of beardy waffle attached to Ferrari history. Sure they're nice but I completely fail to appreciate the hype.
There is simply no way a GTO is worth $50+ million, that is just the sickeningly wealthy being immature children.
I simply cannot respect anyone who spends that sort of money on a car.
It's a good investment.. Believe it or not 😉
@@heinedenmark For the moment. The incoming generations are less and less interested in cars, especially old petrol cars. I would not be at all surprised that in 50 years from now these will be looked upon like an 1800s horse drawn coach and worth about the same. Sentiment wears off over time.
@@CathodeRayNipplez Well.. You're very wrong. I live from investments. With everything going electric, these combustion engine cars will only go up in price. You talk like a Brit.. Which are always butthurt over Italian cars succes.
