The Ferrari 250 GTO, introduced in 1962, is more than just a racing legend—it embodies a perfect blend of form and function, solidifying its place in history with stunning looks and motorsport dominance.
Powered by a 3.0-liter V12 engine producing 300cv, the 250 GTO not only won prestigious races like the Tour de France and Targa Florio, but its design, continuously tweaked for aerodynamics, made it a joy to drive fast and a true icon of Ferrari’s golden era.

Fast forward to 1984, the 288 GTO, or simply GTO, was Ferrari’s homage to Group B racing. While it never competed, its design benefited from Formula One technology, featuring a 2.8-liter twin-turbo V8.
Despite its performance potential, it was remarkably easy to drive, offering a balance between racing aggression and road-going comfort.
The third in the GTO lineage, the 2010 Ferrari 599 GTO, is a track-inspired, road-legal beast. With a 6.0-liter V12 producing 670cv, advanced aerodynamics, and cutting-edge traction control systems, the 599 GTO provided supercar thrills while still being usable as a daily driver.
It’s a technological marvel, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, just like its predecessors.
These three models—the 250 GTO, 288 GTO, and 599 GTO—each exemplify Ferrari’s relentless pursuit of performance, cementing their place in automotive history.
