1978 Ferrari 250 GTO Special

This beautiful & fearsome Ferarri has a hand-made 250 GTO aluminium body, widened 4 inches to fit a shortened and stiffened Ferrari 365GT4 chassis and powered by a 2002 575 Maranello engine/transaxle.

Individual throttle bodies and a well-designed exhaust manifold lifted the power to 601bhp @ 8000rpm measured on the dyno – twice as much horsepower as the original GTO 250 engine.

A proper road registered race car, in true Ferarri tradition.
