You could make a good case for the 250 GTO being the most important model in Ferrari history (collectors surely seem to think so). That said, the 275 GTB was a pretty good follow-up. The car was specifically designed to continue Ferrari’s dominance of GT racing. The Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile initially refused to homologate the race car version, the Competizione Speciale, because it was significantly lighter than the road-going model. Eventually, a compromise was reached, but because of. the resulting delay only one example, serial no. 06885, would race during the 1965 season, when it would up taking third place overall at that year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans.
As good as this Prancing Horse may look, its most impressive feature is under the hood. There you’ll find a 3.3-liter Type 213 Colomobo V-12 with six Weber carburetors. The brawny mill generates around 300 hp, all of which is sent to the rear axle via a five-speed manual transmission. The car is also equipped with an exhaust system with side pipes similar to that found on the 250 LM.
