View this post on Instagram A post shared by Limited100.co.uk (@limited100hq) ABOUT THIS COMMISSION The Ferrari 250 GTO is a car that makes any gearhead’s heart race, not just because it’s rare (only 36 were made), but because it embodies the pinnacle of 1960s racing technology. Built for the FIA’s Group 3 class, it’s powered by a 3.0-litre V12 that produced 296 bhp - not a monster by today’s standards, but blistering for the time. What’s truly fascinating is how Ferrari paired that engine with an incredibly well-balanced chassis designed by Sergio Scaglietti . It wasn’t just a race car; it was a car built to dominate on every corner, with lightweight materials and advanced suspension for its day. Today, its value has skyrocketed, but beyond the price tag, it’s the engineering and driving experience that make the 250 GTO such a revered icon.
