Launched at the 1958 Paris Motor Show, the 250 GT Coupé signalled Ferrari’s intention to produce cars in greater volumes. Pinin Farina coachwork replaced the Boano- and Ellena-bodied cars of years previous. As Ferrari’s bestselling model at the time, 353 were built between 1958 and 1960.
A gentleman’s Ferrari in every sense, the 250 GT Coupé was the definitive Italian grand tourer of the late-1950s. They were built for drivers who wanted Ferrari’s racing pedigree, combined with a civilised road-riding experience.
