Ultimate Ferrari 250 GTO explores the story of this iconic family of cars in more detail and with more authority than ever before. Introduced in 1962 as the final evolutionary step in the long-running 250 GT series, the GTO was the last and best GT racer of the front-engine era. It remained at the forefront for three seasons, winning a hat-trick of World Championship titles for Ferrari. Ever since, GTOs have retained their exalted status not just because of their racing achievements but also their exquisite beauty, undoubted charisma and — for those lucky enough to have experienced this — peerless driveability. Indeed, the GTO’s illustrious reputation has made it the world’s most desirable car, as confirmed by the record-breaking prices repeatedly paid for the finest examples. Packed with superb photographs, many not previously published, this lavish two-volume production does true justice to this ultimate car.

Key Content

  • The build-up: the first volume begins with a close look at the GTO’s forebears, followed by study of its design and development along with a full technical description.
  • The 1962 season: between wins both on debut in the Sebring 12 Hours and in the year’s last race in The Bahamas, the GTO’s activities are covered in full, not just in the World Championship but also in other competition all over the world, including tortuous European hillclimbs and even adventures in Africa.
  • The 1963 season: despite the endeavours of the opposition, the GTO’s supremacy intensified during its second season, with more entrants running in more events, from endurance classics such as the Le Mans 24 Hours to sprints at obscure British venues.
  • The 1964 season: Ferrari beat off a strong challenge from Shelby American’s Cobras to take its third title, helped in part by an upgrade that included a revamped body design for new GTOs, and also for a few existing ones.
  • Later life: this section explains how GTOs continued to compete internationally and with occasional success far beyond their heyday.
  • Chassis histories: the second volume is devoted to comprehensive individual histories of the 36 GTOs, all of which have survived to the present day. Packed with new research and fresh insights, these accounts include interviews with owners and racers past and present, information about restorations and participation in events, and much more, plus a wide array of photographs.
  • Limited Edition

    Ultimate Ferrari 250 GTO is limited to just 600 copies.

    ICONIC/RETRO BUT SUPER STYLISH, EXCELLENT QUALITY, PLS READ!!!!
    THEY SAY ICONIC BUT AND ARE SUPER IN FASHION TODAY!!! I HAVE TO SAY THAT THESE ARE EXCEPTIONALLY STURDY AND PERFECT FOR GETTING YOUR PRESCRIPTION LENSES PUT INTO, WHICH I AM DOING. EVERYONE IN THE OPTICAL DEPARTMENT AND TWO CUSTOMERS LOVED THESE AND ASKED WHERE I FOUND THEM!! THE LOOK OF THEM IS PERFECT. I LOVE THE PINK AGAINST THE GOLD VERSACE LOGO ON THE ARM. THEY ARE A TRANSPARENT PINK, AND I WANTED TO MENTION THAT FOR CLARITY SAKE. THESE ARE A COMBINATION OF A LARGER RECTANGLE THAT PULLS UP INTO CATEYE GLASSES. THEY LOOK SO SHARP ON AND I RECEIVED COMPLIMENTS WHEN I BROUGHT THEM IN, AND I GOT COMPLIMENTS WHEN I PICKED THEM UP! I AM INCREDIBLY HAPPY!! FUNCTIONALLY, THESE ARE PERFECT FOR MY NEEDS BECAUSE MY PRESCRIPTION LENSES ARE TRIFOCALS, AND THERE’S PLENTY OF ROOM TO ACCOMMODATE MY NEEDS. I HAVE A ROUND FACE SO THIS SHAPE IS PERFECT FOR ME. I DO BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE SO VERSATILE THAT THEY WOULD BE GREAT FOR ANY FACE SHAPES. I’M SUPER GRATEFUL FOR HOW WELL MADE THESE FRAMES ARE!!!! THEY ARE EXCEPTIONAL!!!! WHEN I GAVE THEM TO THE OPTICAL TEAM, I WAS TOLD THAT THESE ARE SUPER STYLISH AND STURDY, AND PUTTING MY PRESCRIPTION LENSES INTO THE FRAMES WILL BE EASY BECAUSE THEY ARE HIGH QUALITY. I HAPPILY AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND THESE GLASSES AND BECAUSE THEY ARE STYLISH AND ARE EXCELLENT QUALITY FRAMES. I DONT BELIEVE YOU WOULD BE DISAPPOINTED WITH THESE AWESOME GLASSES AND THE HIGH QUALITY OF THEM. BUY THEM WITHOUT RESERVATION!!! A++++
