Book excerpt: Ultimate Ferrari GTO explores the story of this iconic family of cars in more detail and with more authority than ever before. Introduced in 1962 as the final evolutionary step in the long-running 250 GT series, the GTO was the last and best GT racer of the front-engine era. It remained at the forefront for three seasons, winning a hat-trick of World Championship titles for Ferrari. Ever since, GTOs have retained their exalted status not just because of their racing achievements but also their exquisite beauty, undoubted charisma and -- for those lucky enough to have experienced this -- peerless driveability. Indeed, the GTO's illustrative reputation has made it the world's most desirable car, as confirmed by the record-breaking prices repeatedly paid for the finest examples. Packed with superb photographs, many not previously published, this lavish two-volume production does true justice to this ultimate car.

Download or read book Ferrari 250 GTO written by Keith Bluemel and published by Editions Techniques pour l'Automobile et l'Industrie. This book was released on 1998 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La Ferrari GTO est sans nul doute la plus grande des automobiles. Depuis le premier jour où elle a couru, les fanatiques ont été transportés par son élégance exceptionnelle et sa puissante personnalité. Les rares privilégiés qui ont piloté une GTO en pleine action, que ce soit sur circuit ou sur route, peuvent confirmer que son charme est tout aussi prenant quand on tient le volant grâce à son puissant V 12 de trois litres et à son comportement généralement sain et indulgent. Si le prix signifie quelque chose, le fait qu'une GTO ait été payée plus de 100 millions de francs en 1989 en dit long sur la voiture. Cet ouvrage est de loin l'étude de la GTO la plus complète jamais rédigée. Des années de recherches par les coauteurs, Keith Bluemel, qui' écrit depuis longtemps sur Ferrari, et Jess G. Pourret, historien français de Ferrari (et longtemps propriétaire d'une GTO) ont mis au jour une masse d'informations détaillées concernant ce modèle culte. Les descriptions, les analyses et les illustrations de ce livre satisferont la soif de connaissance des admirateurs de la GTO. D'importants et célèbres intervenants ont ouvert leur mémoire et leurs archives personnelles pour ce livre. Dans le domaine de la conception et du développement mécanique, Giotto Biaarrini, Mauro Forghieh et Sergio Scaglietti ont été consultés. Nombre de réputés pilotes de GTO, de John Surtees à Nino Vaccarella, ont évoqué leurs souvenirs. Un patient rassemblement de données inédites, effectué par l'ancien concurrent sur Ferrari, Jacques Swaters, directeur de l'Écurie Francorchamps basée à Bruxelles, a mené à un luxe de détails encore insurpassé. De nombreux propriétaires, passés et actuels, ont contribué à préciser la biographie détaillée des 36 exemplaires de GTO construits. Plus de 300 photos, portant principalement sur les périodes de conception et de développement et sur la période d'activité 1962-1964 en compétition, au niveau du championnat du monde catégorie GT, font revivre la GTO. Aucun effort n'a été négligé pour obtenir des illustrations auprès des meilleures sources contemporaines dans le monde entier, en privilégiant les rares clichés d'époque. Un album de photos actuelles montrant d'exceptionnelles GTO complète la partie historique. La plupart des clichés n'ont encore jamais été publiés. La 250 GTO a été la dernière grande GT de l'ère des moteurs avant, modèle étudié alors que la conception d'avant-garde des voitures de compétition intégrait de plus en plus l'architecture à moteur central arrière. Cette seule considération en fait donc un repère historique, mais la présence, la beauté, les succès en compétition et le comportement routier exceptionnels de la GTO ont conféré au modèle un statut hors du commun, celui de représenter la grandeur de l'automobile. Ce livre, qui couvre tous les aspects du caractère et des réussites de la GTO, est un séduisant portrait de la plus légendaire des Ferrari.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ferrari 250 GTO is one of the most successful and highly regarded cars ever produced. Built purely for racing, the 250 GTO dominated the Grand Touring racing category in the period 1962–64 and raced in all of the world's sports car classics, including Le Mans. Ferrari built just 40 production cars, and almost all were raced. Because of its sheer beauty, its immensely successful track record and the relatively small number of cars built, the 250 GTO is among the world’s most valuable cars and examples now change hands for sums in excess of $10 million.

Book excerpt: This magnificent book tells the story of a Ferrari 250 GTO with a particularly interesting and varied history. The car, chassis number 4153 GT, came fourth in its first outing at the Le Mans 24 Hours in 1963, and won the 10-day race-cum-rally Tour de France in 1964 with Lucien Bianchi and Georges Berger. It competed in almost every form of motorsport, including the Angolan Grand Prix, Africa in 1964, and endurance racing, hill-climbing and rallying in 1965, entered by the great Belgian team Ecurie Francorchamps. In 1966-69, it raced in Spain with owner Gerard Delgado and his friend Eugenio Baturone, a period that is described here for the first time. All this is covered in fascinating detail, supported by a fine collection of period photographs.

Download or read book Full Circle written by Larry Perkins and published by Petrapetra Publications. This book was released on 2021-08-16 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FULL CIRCLE: A Hands-on Affair with the First Ferrari 250 GTO may be the first car memoir - a car revered for its international racing performance and artistic mystique - the first Ferrari 250 GTO, born in Italy in 1962. It is also the memoir of a man, himself unique - Larry Perkins, a rocket scientist /car racer /artist. His stories chronicle how The Car (a.k.a. "Sophia" named for the elegant Italian bombshell Sophia Loren) pops in and out of his life. These events, and the people associated with them, create a series of full circles in their shared journey. Full Circle: the past becomes future becomes past, illuminating words to the famous song... "When Everything Old is New Again". While Larry was working on the Apollo program to land a man on the moon, and later the Viking Mars Lander program and other space missions, Sophia and Larry had an on-again off-again relationship - an "affair" so to speak - for over 50 years. They found each other in 1963 and formed a surprising dynamic of man-machine synergy. Life was fast and furious, fun and full of trophies. When it seemed destined to be over, Larry sold the Ferrari in 1966 for a mere $3600. The racing duo lost track but were re-united and then parted again. Finally ... unbelievably ... Sophia found Larry when they were both a little older. With the spark alive, their racing history was re-born in a most spectacular way. Each was transformed by the other. The memoir starts with a man searching for the perfect race car and develops into a previously unrecorded history of s/n #3223 GT with racing tales. Larry and his wife, Petra, tell of an irresistible GTO attraction and adventures during the exciting era of '60s sports car racing. (Petra first saw the Ferrari at a memorable race with a fiery crash at Sebring, Florida, when she was 15, but did not meet its driver for 15 more years.) The authors show the exhilaration of key races and an anecdotal chronology of #3223 with photos, some never seen. They examine what a race driver is really like, the attributes of a highly competitive personality, and the unrelenting dedication to Winning. After all, it was not easy for a small privateer - someone who had started racing relatively late in life (with a consuming day job) - to compete with the likes of racing champions Phil Hill, Pedro Rodriquez, Mario Andretti, and Dan Gurney. The book emphasizes the value of teamwork. "Doing the impossible" - in racing or rocketry - demands the best of humans working together to render perfect machines. This is an intimate account about the people who made The Car what it ultimately became. How did this car acquire its timeless aura of mystique? How cool is it to drive such a powerful and exquisite piece of machinery? To what degree can a car be considered fine art? What happened to Larry and why did it turn out to be so spectacular, almost eclipsing his early successes in racing the GTO?When and Where did all this happen? And best of all, Who are the passionate people that made it happen? Full Circle: A Hands-On Affair with the First Ferrari 250 GTO answers these questions and provides readers with a thrilling personal play-by-play of racing the very first Ferrari GTO for the very first time.

Download or read book Ferrari 250 Gte written by David Wheeler and published by . This book was released on 2020-09 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First seen as the course car at the 1960 Le Mans 24 hour race, the elegant Ferrari 250 Gran Turismo 2+2 Pininfarina, or GTE as it has become known, was Ferrari's first four-seat production car and an outstanding commercial success, underwriting the company's racing activity. Built upon the same running gear as the iconic Ferrari 250 two-seaters, the GTE continued in production until 1963, by which time 954 examples had been built. Initially popular as a "gentleman's express," the car was typically finished in conservative colours which emphasised its stunning lines.But after a few years and several owners they were sadly often neglected and came to be regarded simply as donors upon which to build replicas of other Ferraris. Thanks to the efforts of a number of enthusiastic owners who have dedicated themselves to maintaining, restoring and preserving these wonderful cars, about half of them still exist today as GTEs, valued for their beauty and history. In researching this definitive history of the model, the author consulted with respected Ferrari historians, enjoying access to their archives. He traveled extensively to view and document more than 125 examples of these cars around the world. The book is published in a limited edition of 750 copies to celebrate the 60th birthday of the three Series of the 250 GTE.
