Model overview
This car is built in tribute to Ferrari's most legendary front-engined racer, the 250 GTO of the early 1960s—a shape defined by its long bonnet, covered headlights and Kamm-cut tail, styled to cheat the wind at speed as much as to turn heads at rest. Fewer than 40 original GTOs were ever built, making them among the rarest and most valuable cars in the world. Tribute and recreation builds like this one exist precisely because that shape is so significant—they let enthusiasts experience the look and character of one of Ferrari's defining designs at a fraction of an original car's value, while remaining honestly described as exactly what they are.
