Original 1974 Road & Track article on two Ferrari models, the 1963 Ferrari GTO and 1952 Ferrari Mexico.

 

The Ferrari 250 GTO is a grand tourer produced by Ferrari from 1962 to 1964 for Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) Group 3 Grand Touring Car category.  It was powered by Ferrari's Tipo 168/62 Colombo V12 engine, with the “250” denoting the displacement in cubic centimeters of each of its cylinder.

 

Just 36 of the 250 GTOs were manufactured between 1962 and 1964. This includes 33 cars with 1962–63 bodywork (Series I) and three with 1964 (Series II) bodywork similar to the Ferrari 250 LM.

 

When new, the 250 GTO cost $18,000 in the United States, with buyers personally approved by Enzo Ferrari. This model has since become highly desired by automobile collectors and sales have repeatedly set price records, with the current record for world's most expensive Ferrari set in June 2018 when a 1963 250 GTO (chassis 4153GT) sold in a private sale for $70 million.
