The Ferrari 250 GTO was the ultimate expression of the 250 GT series and was the car that encapsulated the Ferrari racing spirit. It was unveiled at the annual pre-season Ferrari press conference in January 1962 and was the sole front-engine model amongst a line-up of mid-engine racers. The 250 GTO was the pinnacle of development of the 250 GT series in competition form, whilst still remaining a road car.
