250 MM Coupe Pininfarina

In May 1952 the Mille Miglia was won by Giovanni Bracco driving an experimental Ferrari 250 S with bodywork by Vignale (modified by Pininfarina) and an engine by Colombo now with 240bhp. The wheelbase was 2400mm, it weighed 850kg (empty) and could achieve 250km/h. Around seventeen coupes and fourteen spiders named the 250MM in honour of this victory were built.

250 GT Boano & Ellena

Introduced in 1956, really a second series GT Europa (with the 'Europa' dropped), it used the same 2953cc development of the Colombo engine which produced 220bhp @ 7,000rpm.
Still with a 2600mm wheelbase and four speed (all synchro) box it had a 950-1050kg empty weight. Later a four-speed plus overdrive box was introduced. Initially fitted with drum brakes all round, disc brakes became an option and later standard.
After introduction at the Geneva show in 1956, the first cars were built by Boano (designed by Pinin Farina) in Turin, around 75 examples. Then around 49 were produced by Ellena from 1957 (previously Boano's partner) with minor differences, such as the deletion of the quaterlights.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

250 GT Coupe Pinin Farina

1958 saw the introduction of the Pininfarina 250GT coupe - the main production 250GT with around 343 built. The power went up to 235bhp, whilst wheelbase was the same 2600mm.

250 GT 2+2 / GTE

Released in 1960 (first seen as the Le Mans course car in that year) this was a Pinin Farina bodied 2+2 coupe (Ferrari's first production four-seater) built on the 2600mm chassis. To improve the internal space the engine (2953cc with 240bhp) was moved forward. A total of 950 cars were built, making it the most produced Ferrari model up until that date.

250 Testarossa

Appearing in 1958, the 250TR used the 250GT engine (2953cc with 290bhp @ 7,500rpm), the 290MM chassis (2350mm wheelbase and 800kg) and the original Testarossa bodywork. Variants used various engines ranging from 300 to 320bhp and including a 2962cc (85x87mm) unit and a fuel-injected unit. The original car used rum brakes, these were later substituted by discs.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

250 LM

It was November 1963 and at the Paris Motorshow Ferrari displayed their new mid-engined car, the 250LM. This had been seen earlier that year in pure racecar form as the Le Mans winning 250P. After the first few cars with 3-litre engines had been built the remainder (around 30) were fitted with 3.3-litre units (3286cc, 77x58.8mm) with 320bhp @ 7,700rpm, but the name never changed.

From 1960 (first shown at Paris in 1959) to 1962 they built their second series cabriolets, around 200 of which were produced. These were effectively convertible versions of their coupe.
