Ferrari 250 GTO
Ferrari dominated endurance racing circuits for a while, taking home the Le Mans trophy for seven consecutive years between 1958 and 1965. The Ferrari 250 Series formed the backbone of those wins, racing in just about every big competition. The front-engined, V-12 GTO specifically won about every race it was eligible for, including the Tour de France, the Nurburgring 1000km, and the all-famous Le Mans. It’s also a Guinness World Record holder for the most expensive car ever sold at an auction.
Ferrari 458 Italia GT
The core of Ferrari’s sports car program, the Ferrari 458 Italia GT cars produce a base horsepower upwards of 500.The cars in this series also feature specifications like improved brake pads, tires and enhanced safety gear depending on the circuit they are racing on. Proving its versatility, the Ferrari 458 GTE class won the Le Mans title three times as well as a dozen other victories in major races around Europe, America, and Asia.
Ferrari F2004
With a base horsepower of 920, this jewel in Ferrari’s crown dominated the world of Formula 1 racing for a while. Winning fifteen out of twenty races it entered in, F2004 took on the mantle from its successful predecessors like F2002 and F2003-GA and was based heavily on both designs. With Michael Schumacher at the helm, the car won the 2005 Formula One season for the Ferrari team.
Ferrari 312
After a few lean years where Ferrari lost out to the likes of Porsche and Ford, they finally introduced some changes to get back in the Formula 1 game. Renowned designer, Mauro Forghieri, redesigned the car and Luca de Montezemolo joined as team manager. The reborn car Ferrari 312 T was better balanced and more reliable, enabling team driver Niki Lauda to win the driver’s championship in 1975 and 1977.
Ferrari FXX
Not a race car strictly but a circuit-bred machine not supposed to be driven on the road, the Ferrari FXX pushed the brand into new territory. Think of it as the combined fruit of Ferrari’s know-how in building cars and its racing experience. Built exclusively for the track, the FXX can deliver a blistering performance punching out over 800 hp. It’s a vehicle designed as part of an ongoing research and development program. Let’s wait and see how that pans out!
