Dear Ultimatecarpage.com visitor,

In 2012, the legendary Ferrari 250 will be 50 years old. The 39 examples produced rank among the most valuable cars in the world. Among the rarest variants of these is the four-litre version briefly raced by Scuderia Ferrari in 1962. Known as the 330 GTO, it featured a modified version of the engine used in the 400 SuperAmerica road car. Equipped with six double Webers, it produced 400 bhp and also powered the 330 TRI/LM to victory in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, where one of the 330 GTOs also lined up. This was the type's second outing and would be the last as a works car. In 1963, a similar, but more aerodynamic 330 LMB took up the four-litre GTO's place. While the first two 330 GTOs were pure racers, the third and final example produced was sold as a street car to one of Ferrari's board members. Ironically this car is the one that has since seen the most action in historic events.
In recent years we were fortunate to capture two of the three examples at some of the world's most prestigious events. These are the ex-Le Mans car, which was brought out for this year's Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance and the third example, which we saw at Goodwood and the recent Monterey Motorsport Reunion where it was driven to victory in the GTO celebration race. We have picked the best shots from these occasions to form a 24-shot gallery to illustrate our detailed article.
