The Ferrari 250 GT Coupé represented a series of road-going,
Common among all the 250 GT cars was the 3.0-litre Colombo V12 engine and the fact that all were two-seaters. The predecessor to the series was the Lampredi-engined 250 Europa, built in very limited numbers.[2]
The Europa GT was soon followed by the Pinin Farina-designed 250 GT Coupé. As the Carrozzeria Pinin Farina's production capacities were being expanded at that time, the cars were initially bodied at the Carrozzeria Boano, then the Carrozzeria Ellena. After the body production was carried over to Pinin Farina, Ferrari could produce the Coupé in greater numbers than before. This series of models marked the production process transition from hand-crafted to semi-series production.[3]
Even though great strides were taken to standardise the production, there was still a number of individual cars produced identified as Speciale. The successor, manufactured in even greater numbers was the four-seater,

The Ferrari 250 Europa GT was a
The 250 Europa GT was seen as a road-going version of the 250 MM race car, and also as a second series to the 250 Europa. Most of the Europa GT cars had Pinin Farina designed and built bodywork and those had a similar, near identical established style.[7] In total only 35 Europa GTs were manufactured.[5]
Development
History
Up to this point, Ferrari offered semi-race car models that could be driven on the roads. Those were the past Inter-series offered from Maranello, but were not as practical for the elite clientele to be able to use every day.[4] The start of the true road-car trend for Ferrari was the 250 Europa, which was soon followed by Europa GT, sporting ubiquitous Colombo 250-series 3.0-litre V12 engine. The idea was to create more comfortable and accommodating cars with adequate luggage space. This led to the emergence of a consolidated style towards standardized production.[4]
Production
The introduction of the 250 GT series was a major turning point in the rise of Ferrari as a serial manufacturer. Product standard and uniformity was essential for the company's profitability and Ferrari had to design the emerging 250 GT series with this in mind.[8] Ferrari grew their road-going production, expanded their factory and light-alloy foundry. With it and a reliable power unit, Ferrari could meet the needs of more customers, with an unchanging goal to finance the racing activities.[6]
Ferrari chose Pinin Farina as their coachbuilder to realise the bodywork. This cooperation, that begun with a historic meeting of
Design
The exterior design was mostly carried over from the Europa, from which it was developed.[1] Pinin Farina offered two body variants of the Europa GT. The three-window, two-door coupé with panoramic rear window and the other with additional rear side windows. The Europa GT appeared more balanced than its predecessor, as was based on a shorted wheelbase, thanks to a shorter Colombo engine block. Inside of the car remained unchanged in terms of dimensions and space.[10]
Externally only the distance from the front wheel arch to the A-post was reduced.[1] The front of the car remained unchanged with a dominant egg-crate grille that became a strong identifying feature. Sides were almost devoid of any additional decoration.[7]
Notable examples
The very first example produced, s/n 0357GT bodied by Pinin Farina, represented not only the emergence of the Europa GT but also of the whole lineage of 250 GT cars. It was first presented at the
Chassis 0359GT was the second example produced.[13][1] It sported a unique coupé coachwork designed by Giovanni Michelotti and realized by Vignale.[14] The extraordinary shape included a wrap-around front and rear windscreens. The front received a large oval grille and the rear fenders had small fins protruding upwards. The one-off 250 Europa GT was sold new to Princess Lilian, Princess of Réthy, the second wife of King Leopold III of Belgium.[15]
Coupé s/n 0375GT, was the only one example built as a
Chassis 0407GT, realized in 1955, was a turning point in the design style for Pinin Farina.[17] It represented a transition between the Europa GT body and upcoming 250 GT Coupé cars. [18] This Europa GT received a reworked front end with flatter, lower and longer nose and more elliptical grille with a silver prancing horse and additional fog lamps inside it. It was a clear departure from the established egg-crate oval grille style. The rear was no longer rounded with the fenders, instead, the fender tips protruded behind the rear deck and were ended with vertical tail lights. The panoramic rear window incorporated dual windshield wipers.[19][20]
Europa GT Berlinetta
Between 1954 and 1955 Ferrari and Pinin Farina created several lightweight aluminium bodied cars, the Europa GT Berlinettas, with rounded shapes and improved aerodynamics.[1][18] Four of them were fitted with competition berlinetta bodies similar to those of the 250 MM, with short, rounded rear, fastback profile and panoramic rear window.[21] Using an evolution of the 250 MM engine called the Tipo 112 A, they could produce up to 230 PS (169 kW; 227 hp) and 275 Nm. Even though the cars were competition-ready, none of them scored any major victories and mostly were denied any track use.[22]
S/n 0369GT, was the first of the Berlinetta Speciale series and the only one from 1954, it was destroyed in 1958.[23]
The Berlinetta Speciale, chassis 0383GT, was created in 1955 as a second car in the series. Body, similar to the 250 MM, had no rear louvres and only small vents on the front fenders. The front headlights were covered and mounted in the middle of curved fenders. It combined a type 508 chassis with type 112 A engine, and is considered as the first ‘Tour de France’ Berlinetta prototype.
S/n 0385GT was a third Berlinetta Speciale, finished in silver and presented at the 1955
S/n 0393GT was the last of the series and the only with a different body style. Instead of a short rounded rear portion, it featured prominent double-stepped rear fins, reminiscent of the 375 MM Pinin Farina Coupé Speciale s/n 0490AM. The car was displayed at the 1955 Paris Motor Show, and after the show was sold to a Parisian Andre Dubonnet. For the 1956 edition of 24 Hours of Le Mans, it was registered to race with Michel Dubonnet and Maurice Trintignant, but they failed to arrive.[28][29]
Europa GT Competizione
Later in 1955, Ferrari and Pinin Farina produced another three special bodied cars that are often also regarded as prototypes for the upcoming 250 GT Berlinetta ‘Tour de France’ models produced between 1956 and 1959.[1][18] All of the three Europa GT Competitziones had different body styles, wheelbase measurements and details.[30]
The first Competition Berlinetta Speciale, s/n 0403GT, was bodied in alloy by Pinin Farina on a 2,530 mm (99.6 in) wheelbase. The rear section, that incorporated boot lid, fins and rear window, was created in the style known from the 375 MM Coupé Speciale, s/n 0456AM, for actress Ingrid Bergman. The car also sported a type 342 rear axle.[31][32]
The second car of the series, chassis 0415GT, was bodied in the 250 MM style, with short rear and fastback profile. Lightweight aluminium body was based on a shorter, 2,480 mm (97.6 in), wheelbase. It received an uprated type 112 A engine and was raced briefly by Marquis Alfonso de Portago and later Gleb Derujinsky in the United States.[33] De Portago's only race in Nassau yielded a fourth place overall.[34][35]
S/n 0425GT was the last of the series. Designed and bodied either by Pinin Farina or
Specifications
Engine
The 250 Europa GT sported a Colombo-designed V12 engine, instead of a Lampredi unit from the preceding 250 Europa. The original Colombo block used smaller bore-spacing then Lampredi and hence was called a 'short-block'. The engine was mounted in the front behind front axle. The type 112, 60° V12 unit had a bore and stroke of 73 by 58.8 mm (2.9 by 2.3 in), and the resulting total capacity was 2,953.21 cc (3.0 L; 180.2 cu in). Unitary displacement measured 246.10 cc, which rounded up gave the basis for the name of the series, the 250, as was the naming convention used by Ferrari.[1]
With 8.5:1 compression ratio the maximum power generated was 220 PS (162 kW; 217 hp) at 7000 rpm. Torque figures were approximately 265 Nm at 5000 rpm. Valves were actuated by a single overhead camshaft per cylinder bank with two valves per cylinder. Fuel was fed by a bank of three
Chassis
The tubular steel chassis of the type 508 was built around two main longitudinal members with cross bracing and body supports. Unlike the predecessors, the rear portion passed above the rear axle.[7] The wheelbase was shortened by 200 mm (7.9 in) to 2,600 mm (102.4 in) and the front are rear tracks were widened by 29 mm (1.1 in).[10] This chassis and engine setup will be used on various road and race Ferrari models from 250 GT-family.[1]
Suspension and transmission
The front suspension was independent with twin wishbones, transverse leaf springs and hydraulic shock absorbers. Leaf springs will later give way to helical spring setup. The rear suspension sported a live axle with semi-elliptic leaf springs and lever type hydraulic shock absorbers. Brakes were hydraulically operated drum type all round. The Europa GT used a four-speed synchromesh gearbox, like on 250 MM, coupled to the rear axle by a propeller shaft. The fuel tank had a capacity of 100 litres.[1][10][38]
250 GT Coupé
The Ferrari 250 GT Coupé was a GT car produced by Ferrari between 1955 and 1960. Designed by Pinin Farina it was produced by three different coachbuilders along the way. The first two series known by their coachbuilders as Boano and Ellena were mechanically very similar to the preceding Europa GT. They were seen as a gradual refinement rather than radical redesign.[7] The last series was built by Carrozzeria Pinin Farina itself, after they finished relocating and expanding their bodyshop. It also features completely new shape and technical improvements.[18]

Boano Coupé
When Ferrari planned the sales increase of the 250 GT Coupé, it became clear that Pinin Farina fell victim to its own success and had to expand to keep up with the body production demands. Ferrari built chassis in an already expanded factory and in a more or less standardized manner.[7]
Pinin Farina's current facilities at Corso Trapani in
Felice Mario Boano established his coachbuilding company with his son Gian Paolo and partner Luciano Pollo, as 'Carrozzeria Boano' at Via Collegno in Grugliasco in 1954, after he had left Carrozzeria Ghia in 1953. Boano and Giorgio Alberti bought out the Carrozzeria Ghia a decade earlier after the death of Giacinto Ghia.[42] Boano received the contract to produce the bodies and interiors for the 250 GT Coupé and Pinin Farina would meanwhile build their new factory. Boano imposed some aesthetic changes to the design and removed the kick-up behind the doors and lower the roofline slightly.[41]

At the 1956
Production
Mario Boano not only owned a design studio located in Turin, but also had a factory in Brescia that was able to receive and complete large orders. Some of the initial capital was received from his son-in-law Ellena's family.[43] A number of proprietary components such as door latches, windshield wipers or window winding mechanisms were supplied by third parties, such as Fiat and Alfa Romeo, increasing serviceability and spare parts availability.[4] Neither Boano nor Ellena had any identifying script or emblem on their cars, unlike Pinin Farina, because they acted as subcontractors.[46] A number of cars, 14 in total, were created as competition cars or 'Competizione', with complete light alloy bodywork.[47][48]
Notable examples
Chassis 0429GT was the first example produced by Pinin Farina in 1955. It featured a steel body with light alloy opening panels, hood and doors. Chassis was of a 508 type, combined with an engine tipo 112, carried over from the Europa GT. The car was presented at the 1956
S/n 0443GT, completed in 1956, was one of the lightweight, all-alloy ‘Competizione’. It was sold to a French customer, Jean Estager, who campaigned the car for a couple of years, winning classes in Rallye des Alpes and Col du Perthus. Also in 1956, Estager and Louis Rosier entered
Chassis 0447GT, was another Competizione, bodied in alluminium by Boano, even though it had a Pinin Farina body number assigned. Under the bonnet was a type 112 engine.[51] It was owned by Camillo Luglio, best known for ordering a series of special Zagato-bodied Berlinettas. He and Elfo Frignani entered it in the 1956 Mille Miglia, but did not finish the race. Later the same year, Luglio won a third place and a class victory at the Trofeo Internazionale della Sardegna. After its competition stint, the car was updated to the ‘unbroken waistline’ of other Boano creations.[52]
S/n 0627GT was originally a steel-bodied coupé, that was converted in 1959 by
Speciale
S/n 0461GT was the first Carrozzeria Boano-bodied Ferrari. Styled by
Chassis 0531GT was given a unique bodywork from Boano.[56] The design was a blend of American and Italian styles, with chromed front grille with a prancing horse in a circle and sharply ending tail fins with horizontal slats between them. Exterior colour was copper with silver accents.[57]
GTO Prototype
Some sources indicate that chassis 0523GT was used as basis for a
The wheelbase was shortened to the Berlinetta SWB measurements of 2,400 mm (94.5 in), and the chassis was strengthened to improve stiffness. The weight distribution was improved by moving the engine back and lowering it. The body was hand-crafted without any help of Scaglietti due to secrecy of the project, and so it remained in unpainted aluminium-alloy.[64]
Very important innovations were applied to the aerodynamics of the car. Both by lowering the front of the car and also by improving the air-flow through the engine compartment. Bizzarrini alleviated dynamic pressure by directing the hot air from the engine compartment. This led to the creation of the iconic triple opening portholes in the front of the car that were so characteristic for the production GTO. They were used to divert air to the sides of the engine compartment to minimise pressure.[64]
Willy Mairesse was able to test the car at Monza within two months of the beginning of the project. Further tests by Stirling Moss proved very successful even though the car used a wet sump lubrication system. Moss was able to beat the Berlinetta times by four–five seconds a lap. The project would later become the 250 GTO. In the end Enzo Ferrari ordered the car to be destroyed as a result of 'The Great Walkout' by the end of 1961, and did not want Bizzarrini to keep the car.[64]
Ellena Coupé
In 1957 Mario Boano was invited to run the Fiat Centro Stile as a chief stylist. He passed the body production work to his son-in-law, Ezio Ellena, and his former partner Luciano Pollo. They renamed the company Carrozzeria Ellena , and continued to coachbuild Ferrari coupés. Carrozzeria Ellena ultimately closed down in 1966.[42][41]
The new series of cars from Carrozzeria Ellena will be known as the ‘250 GT Coupé Ellena’, and apart for some early examples, can be identified by a raised roof line and an absence of quarterlights. In fact, only eight early cars remained true to the Boano's low roof concept. Ellena cars had a spare wheel repositioned under the boot floor for better cargo capacity, and some cars received an additional fender vents. Other changes included a standard shift gate, as on some Boano cars the gate was reversed. Cabin heater was standard with no extras listed. Cars also received bigger brakes for everyday usability and stopping power.[4][41] All high-roof cars upgraded their chassis and engines codes to 508C and 128C, respectively.[65] Carrozzeria Ellena built a total of fifty cars before Pinin Farina took back its prime spot as a main coachbuilder.[40]
Notable examples
A number of cars were converted into an open sports racers or Berlinettas along the way.[40] With particular example s/n 0757GT, converted into an exact replica of a ‘Double Bubble’ Berlinetta Zagato by Carrozzeria Zagato in the 1990s.[66]
Speciale
Chassis 0725GT received a special coachwork by Pinin Farina. Designed as a close copy of their
S/n 0751GT was another unique Ferrari ordered by Princess Lilian, Princess of Réthy of Belgium.[68] The Coupé Speciale body was inspired by then current 410 Superamerica series, with elements of 250 GT Cabriolet and many distinct features. The front was elongated and the grille was flat and wide with small protruding bumperettes on each end. Headlamps were coverent in a competition berlinetta style. The rear fenders had squared fins with geometric tail lights. Contrary to similar Pinin Farina projects, this car was devoid of the rear louvre vents. Many design features would be soon seen on the production 250 GT Coupé by Pinin Farina. In January 1958, the Coupé Speciale was delivered to the Princess’ Waterloo home.[69]
Princess de Réthy was renowned for her charitable work and while visiting a hospital, met with an American cardio-vascular surgeon Dr. Michael DeBakey, known for his surgery on the Shah of Iran. His brother Ernest was also a Ferrari enthusiast. Princess decided to bestow on him her Coupé Speciale as a gift, which he politely refused, but by the end of the year he received the car upon his return home.[69][70]
Specifications
Boano-built series of Coupés saw a transition from type 112 Europa GT
Chassis setup remained the same, only with updated internal codes corresponding to new engine types.[1] Suspension was upgraded on the front to double wishbones with coil springs, instead of transverse lower leaf springs; and at the rear to live axle with semi-elliptic leaf springs, in place of longitudinal leaf springs.[39]

The Ferrari 250 GT Coupé Pinin Farina was a GT car produced by Ferrari in 1958–1960. It features a brand new body compared to its predecessors and virtually identical mechanical layout. All this with a goal of greatly increasing production output. It was the first semi-series produced Ferrari model to date.[7]
Development
History
Production
After the subcontract of Boano and Ellena ended by 1958, Pinin Farina was ready with a new Coupé design and a new factory to increase body production. The Ferrari 250 GT Coupé Pinin Farina would be the largest volume Ferrari model up to that time.[4] The change from an artisan-type construction to a semi-industrialised type meant that the car's shape had to be designed with greater simplicity of body production.[72]
Design
Initially, two or three prototypes were constructed with panoramic rear window, a shape that was well established in Pinin Farina style, and very slight kick-up fenders. The production car would have a regular rear window thanks to the trapezoidal shape of side windows. Front of the car was long and flat with a wide grille, a far evolution from the dominant ’egg-crate’ style of Europa GT. Because of the lower front bonett the optical groups protruded more distinctly. Side flanks were flat and undisturbed only divided vertically by a dihedral line.[72] The fastback profile of the predecessors was replaced with a ‘notch back’ style. The simplistic design was accented by a lack of additional ornamentation. Overall the design was commended for being well proportioned.[73]
The new design was first shown to the press in June 1958, and later launched at the Paris Motor Show, in October the same year. Before that it was secretly entered in concours d’elegance in Antibes.[74]
Notable examples
Chassis 0797GT was the first prototype, completed in 1957, it featured side vents and a panoramic rear window.[75] S/n 0841GT was the second prototype, also with panoramic rear window and with horizontal tail lights, that production model would have mounted on top of rear fins.[76] Chassis 0843GT wa the third prototype.[77]
S/n 1499GT completed in late 1959 was the first Coupé with factory fitted disc brakes.[78]
Speciale
Chassis 0853GT, finished in 1958 as a very early example, received a special body with additional rear quarterlight, making it a five-window coupé, and a steeply inclined rear window. Tail lights were mounted horizontally, unlike on a production model. Its first owner was Prince Bertil, Duke of Halland from Sweden.[79]
S/n 1187GT, was a one-off Coupé Speciale similar from the side to the third series 410 Superamerica by Pini Farina but without covered headlamps and with flat bonett. A five-window coupé with a production car's front and rear and additional side fender vents. The car was presented at the 1959
1960 chassis 1751GT received a special set of bespoke details. The car had covered headlamps like on a competition car, side fender vents and smaller half-bumpers.[82]
Notable conversions
As values of the 250 GT Coupés dropped, some cars were either parted out for spares or relatively inexpensively converted into other creations, replicas or competition models. Some were even scrapped. It is estimated that only half may be still surviving.[73]
S/n 0977GT was rebodied in period as a fastback coupé Piero Drogo's Carrozzeria Sports Cars for Pierre de Siebenthal and bodied in full lightweight alloy. Very narrow grille stretched almost the full width of the front.[83] A previously crashed Coupé s/n 1717GT from 1960, had its chassis shortened by Vaccari workshop in 1965 and was rebodied by Piero Drogo's Carrozzeria Sports Cars to resemble a 250 GTO. Engine received six Weber carburettor upgrade. Pierre de Siebenthal owned the car along with his other Drogo creation, and displayed it at the 1985
In 1967
The chassis taken from s/n 1393GT was rebodied by Fantuzzi as a 250 Testa Rossa.[86]
Chassis 1623GT was rebodied in 1964 by Neri and Bonacini from Modena as a "Nembo Coupé" for Tom Meade in lightweight coachwork.[87] S/n 1777GT was rebodied in 1965 by Neri and Bonacini, as Nembo Spyder. Car was created for Tom Meade's customer, Sergio Braidi. The unique styling was a combination of 275 GTB and 250 GTO. Engine was modified with six double-barrel Weber carburettors.[88]

Chassis codes corresponded with the engine types. The biggest update was an installation of disc brakes made by Dunlop in late 1959. Offset shifter was replaced by a central shift with electrically operated overdrive made by Laycock de Normanville.[4] Brakes were servo-assisted thanks to a company called Bendix. Telescopic dampers were introduced in place of lever type. Most of the improvements were much needed and welcomed as they increased usability and serviceability greatly.[71][74][72]

Even though Carrozzeria Boano subcontracted the 250 GT Coupé body production, some of the chassis were sent to Carrozzeria Pinin Farina for individual coachwork. Four such cars were subsequently bodied in a
The 250 GT Coupé Speciale by Pinin Farina produced in oly four examples became noted for its rarity and classic Pinin Farina styling. Because those were highly customised special order cars, they were built with many custom features, including special gauges, telescopic-adjusted steering wheel or a special bolstered seats. Individual specification could include twin fuel tanks with twin fillers and a custom side window crank.[44]
Specifications
The Coupé Speciale sported a type 128 Colombo V12 engine, rated at 240 PS (177 kW; 237 hp). The Speciale was based on a different chassis than other Coupés with their own, unique for the series, designation type 513, that also had a 2,600 mm (102.4 in) of wheelbase. Suspension setup was almost identical to the Boano-era Coupés. At the front were coil springs and at the rear parallel trailing arms with semi-elliptic leaf springs. A four-speed manual gearbox and a four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes were standard on all coupés from that era.[44][89]
Examples
S/n 0463GT was the first Coupé Speciale to be built on a type 513 chassis. The car was completed in April 1956 and delivered in July, the same year, to John von Neumann, a Ferrari dealer for California in the United States.[90]
S/n 0465GT was the second of the four Speciales. Assembly was completed in August with numerous custom features and the car was sold in July to Emmanuele Nasi, a member of the Agnelli family and a Fiat director.[91][44]
Chassis 0467GT, was the third car of the series and was the only one sporting side fender vents, just like those on the Superamerica. Its first owner was Fernando Galvao from Lisbon, Portugal.[92]
The last produced Coupé Speciale, s/n 0469GT finished in light blue Celeste colour, was delivered new to the King Mohammed V of Morocco.[93]
