Sonoma Classic Motorcars is proud to present the Ferrari 1962 250 GTO Replica Built by Giovanni Giordanengo.
Giovanni Giordanengo is a Cuneo based 'artigiano' renowned for his exacting replicas of competition and road going Ferraris and Alfa Romeos. The 3. 0-liter, dry sump-lubricated 250 V-12 breathed through six dual-barrel Weber 38 DCN carburetors to deliver an even 300 hp at 7, 500 rpm and was mated to a five-speed manual (replacing the 250 SWB’s four-speed) with Ferrari’s famous open gate shifter. Thanks to the V-12’s impressive power figures and the hard work on the aerodynamic body, the top speed was 174 mph, making the 250 GTO ideal for Europe’s high speed racing circuits. Three cars featured a 4. 0-liter engine derived from the 400 Superamerica and were called 330 GT0s. Most of the Ferrari 250 GTOs were left-hand drive, but eight of them were built with right-hand drive for British customers.
Launched at Maranello in February of 1962, the Ferrari 250 GTO was clearly all about racing. There were no bumpers, the side and rear windows were plastic, and the dry sump oil tank (which enabled the car to sit lower) resulted in lots of heat pumping into the cabin.
The GTO is a desirable car thanks to its beauty and rarity, but it was its record on the track that made it a legend.
