Ferrari 250 GTO RG2008

Voici le ferrari 250 GTO de 1962 venant d'Ecosse où vit son propriétaire. C'est à l'occasion du rallye historique "Remouchamps-Gueux (Reims) 2008" que la voiture est arrivée le vendredi 12 septembre l'après-midi afin d'être exposée le soir-même et participer à l'épreuve de samedi. Il s'agit de la première édition de ce rallye historique retraçant le parcours Remouchamps-Reims du Tour de France Automobile de 1962 et plus principalement l'histoire de Lucien Bianchi qui était alors en tête du rallye avec cette même voiture avant de heurter un camion de lait au carrefour de Remouchamps. Un garagiste de la région (Lucien Lawarrée) procéda à des réparations sur cette GTO afin qu'elle puisse repartir et être suivie par son assistance ferrari. Elle arriva seulement avec un léger retard à Reims(malgré son état mécanique très préoccupant) avant d'être malheureusement refusée au circuit de Reims.

Here's why some of you don't understand the insane amount of money some collectors are willing to pay for this vehicle......you're seeing it as a "car". It's not just a "car", it's a rolling work of art and a museum altogether. There will never again be built a drive-train equivalent to the likes of the racing Ferrari 250s. The 6 carburetors with their chrome up-pipes, the landmark scintillatingly sexy coachwork, the ferocious, unrestrained cry of what will ALWAYS be the quintessential V-12.....

Always wanted one of these.timeless car!

@tanksrawsome59 A fair question, as these were race cars and all hand built, I would assume each exhaust was crafted for the car that wears it. There were only 36 or 37 of the 250 GTOs built, no 2 were exactly alike.

@wrxwagon100 ok 1 question is that a custom exhaust

@thevealchop68 Look for the video on the right (it wont let me post the link) called "Ferrari 250 GTO" by the user "itrmotorracing" and you will see the carbs being tuned. Note when the tech manipulates the throttle, you can see the bar connecting all the carbs moving.

@thevealchop68 The racing 250s (the GTOs and the testarossas among them), used 6 twin barrel carburettors....each barrel had its own up pipe, hence that beautiful arrangement of 12 up pipes.
