The Ferrari 250 GTO (Gran Turismo Omologato) grew out of the 250 GT series into a competition car in the Gran Turismo category. A road-legal race car was born, enabling the drivers to travel to their races on their own. The basis for the 250 GTO was the Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta SWB model. The 250 stands for displacement in cubic centimeters per cylinder. Ferrari presented the vehicle for the first time at the annual press conference in January 1962 in Maranello. The development of the GTO was conducted under Giotto Bizzarrini and took shape at the coach-builder Scaglietti, where almost all GTOs were later built. What was new in comparison with the 250 GT Berlinetta "SWB" was the completely redesigned front end. The rear fenders got wider and longer, as did the rear end. In contrast to the first prototype, all later examples received a riveted rear spoiler, which was an aerodynamic innovation at the time. So much effort had never been put into the aerodynamics of a GT racing car. The rear rigid axle of the 250 GT Berlinetta "SWB" was retained, but mounted on parallel trailing arms and a Watt linkage instead of leaf springs. The proven Tipo 168/62 3.0 L V12 from the 250 Testa Rossa was carried over. The interior of the 250 GTO is extremely spartan – an entailment resulting from its low weight, which, in conjunction with an output of virtually 300 hp and low air resistance, makes the GTO capable of up to 280 km/h Chassis #3987 was delivered to Luigi Chinetti of the NART Team (North American Racing Team) in October 1962. It contested in the 1000 km of Paris in Monthlery one week later with Pedro and Ricardo Rodriguez at its wheel. They raced chassis #3987 to a first place finish overall. In December of the same year, the car was sold to Roger Penske, who was able to continue its winning streak with many first-place finishes and front placements in various races. Among them was the 4th place overall and the class victory in the GT3 class at the 12 hours of Sebring in March 1963, a highlight worth mentioning. After countless changes of ownership, the vehicle was restored to perfect condition as a part of Ralph Lauren's prestigious collection in 1985.
