From 1953 Ferrari offered a new road sports car, the 250. This model continued to be used for sports car races, but its main purpose was to sell it to private customers. With this, Enzo Ferrari financed his motorsport program in Formula 1 as well as with purebred prototypes. As in the 166, 195 and 212, a V12 engine worked under the long hood. However, initially, in the 250 Europa, it wasn’t the already familiar unit from Gioacchino Colombo. Instead, Ferrari reduced the displacement of the V12 developed by Aurelio Lampredi for the larger 340 America and 375 America sports cars to three liters. After only 20 examples, the 250 GT Europa appeared as a further development, with which Ferrari returned to the Colombo engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The retained model designation shows that the engine capacity remained at three liters. At that time, Ferrari assigned numerical sequences that stood for the displacement of a single cylinder. In the 250 GT Europa, the V12 produced 162 kW\/220 hp. In order to accomodate the modified engine, a new tubular chassis with the internal code Tipo 112 was created, which meant that the transverse leaf springs at the front were replaced by coil springs. At 2.6 meters, the wheelbase was also 200 millimeters shorter than on the 250 Europa. Ferrari was also able to save a total of around 100 kilograms in weight. As before, most of the bodies were built by Pinin Farina and looked very similar to those of the predecessor without the GT in the model name.<\/p>\n\n\n
