Ferrari 512 TR

Daniela Zacconi


It seemed a hopeless undertaking to replace the Ferrari Testarossa. But with the 428 bhp and some significant modifications the Ferrari 512 TR is certainly a worthy new flagship for Ferrari.
1330º GTOGTO SPECIAL
The 30th birthday? A mere trifle, if you have left adolescence behind you and are now hardened by experience. The GTO's life goes like this: a great genius who, while still a baby. won no fewer than three world titles, one after the other.
And now at 30, we remember the GTO as beautiful, fast and unbeatable. A true legend.

Giotto Bizzarini


In 1960 I was head of the Reparto experienze, collaudi e controlli (Experimental, testing and checking department) and therefore responsible for cars commissioned by clients: not only those who used their Ferraris on the road, but also the so-called 'gentlemen-drivers' who entered our cars privately in races all over the world.

The 1962 Tourist Trophy was a thrilling race at one of England's most popular circuits. It was dominated by Ferrari 250 GTOs, with Innes Ireland's light-green car victorious.
5030º GTOUnited colours of GTO
Non-works drivers wrote some of the most fascinating and important pages in the Ferrari 250 GTO's history.
The colours of the various teams and the long list of gentlemen-drivers are interesting and, in some cases, surprising.
5430º GTOMini GTO

Giovanni Gallavresi


Almost as sought after as the cars themselves, the best 1/43-scale model GTOs are real jewels, giving the collector a faithful reproduction of a legend.
