The engine was the proven 3.0-liter V-12 from the Le Manswinning Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa, which had given Ferrari a reputation for refinement and triumph more than any other. "All we wanted to do was develop a regular engine, only one would be exceptional." Enzo once claimed off this powertrain. Ferrari 250 GTO—250 for each of the 12 cylinders' cubiccentimeter displacement, GT for gran turismo, and O for omolagato, the Italian word for homologation. Six Weber carburetors producing around 300 horsepower, a new fivespeed transmission replacing the four Ferrari had been used for years, and a peak speed of around 175 mph. Since Karl Benz produced the first one in 1896, the GTO has become the single most sought automobile ever manufactured, nearly 60 years after the inaugural shakedown at Monza.
The reaction of members of the racing press when they first saw the new Ferrari was negative. Because of its peculiar nose, one reporter dubbed it "the anteater." Although the prototype was awkward, one thing was clear: it was speedy. Powerful, easy to drive, and deafeningly loud. A GTO reportedly sold for $35 million in May 2012. The Italian courts declared in the summer of 2020 that the Ferrari 250 GTO was in reality a work of art, making it illegal to copy or imitate it. The automobile is a testament to how outstanding engineering and handiwork can change the course of history.
