ROAD RESEARCH REPORT: FERRARI 250/GT Berlinetta

Continuing on the Ferrari theme I came across this Sports Car Illustrated magazine of car and driver October 1960 article. Today the 250 GT Berlinetta is probably one of the rarest, most sought after, and expensive of all collectable Ferraris not to mention one of the most beautiful GT cars ever produced. From the tips of its thrusting headlights to the end of its tucked-in tail, Ferrari's newest Berlininette exudes the essence of speed and power. For once the externals don't mislead. This is a fast car, potent almost to the point of being brutal. Its physical size is deceptive, though. A dozen yards away it looks compact, almost small. As you move closer and actually climb aboard it gets bigger, when you fire it up and get under way it becomes quite a healthy-sized machine! If this Ferrari seems bigger-than-life at rest, it's definitely so when on the go.
