Description: CMC M-259 - NEW Release π 1:18 1962/64 FERRARI 250 GTO in BLACK Limited Edition 600 pcs. Description The Ferrari 250 GTO (Gran Turismo Omologato) grew out of the 250 GT series into a competition car in the Gran Turismo category. A road-legal race car was born, enabling the drivers to travel to their races on their own. The basis for the 250 GTO was the Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta SWB model. The 250 stands for displacement in cubic centimeters per cylinder. Ferrari presented the vehicle for the first time at the annual press conference in January 1962 in Maranello. The development of the GTO was conducted under Giotto Bizzarrini and took shape at the coach-builder Scaglietti, where almost all GTOs were later built. What was new in comparison with the 250 GT Berlinetta βSWBβ was the completely redesigned front end. The rear fenders got wider and longer, as did the rear end. In contrast to the first prototype, all later examples received a riveted rear spoiler, which was an aerodynamic innovation at the time. So much effort had never been put into the aerodynamics of a GT racing car. The rear rigid axle of the 250 GT Berlinetta βSWBβ was retained, but mounted on parallel trailing arms and a Watt linkage instead of leaf springs. The proven Tipo 168/62 3.0 L V12 from the 250 Testa Rossa was carried over. The interior of the 250 GTO is extremely spartan β an entailment resulting from its low weight, which, in conjunction with an output of virtually 300 hp and low air resistance, makes the GTO capable of up to 280 km/h. The accolades of the 250 GTO were impressive to say the least. there were victories at the 12 Hours of Sebring, the Targa-Florio, the 1000 km of Spa-Francorchamps and at Le Mans, where they also finished second OA in 1962 and 1963 and won the GT classification. CMC has replicated this car (Chassis #4219) as it was displayed at Historic Races Laguna Seca 2004. With the same owner from 1993 to date, it is restored to perfection as a centerpiece of Brandon Wangβs collection (USA).
