Ferrari has remained the most prestigious manufacturer of Gran Turismo motorcars to this day. From the mid-1950’s through the beginning of the 1960’s, the Ferrari 250 GT Berlinettas dominated the GT-class races around the world. The production of Berlinettas started with a long wheel base version, followed by a short wheel base version, which was introduced in 1959 and became a fixture until the 250 Series was eventually phased out of production.

The bumpers became removed
Additional front air inlets for the cooling of the disk breaks
