Poles. FLs. The Ferrari 250 GT SWB Drogo or commonly known as the Breadvan is a special Ferrari made in 1962 from a 1961 Ferrari 250 SWB Short Wheel Base, chassis number #2819GT. It was built to compete against the new 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and other FIA World Sportscar Championship races.
This was not only Ferrari’s original road car engine but it went on to power classic icons like the 250 Testa Rossa, 250 GTO and Daytona. Surely no other engine in history can match this V12’s pedigree. Colombo came to Enzo Ferrari’s attention when he designed a supercharged straight-eight engine for the 1938 Alfetta 158 Grand Prix car.
After the rear-engine 250 LM was denied homologation, Ferrari had to begin fitting the 275 with competition engines and aluminum bodies for their race clientele. The most potent of these were three Competizione Speciales. These aggressive 275s were much faster than the coveted 250 GTO and lent their developments to the next series of 275s. Sai perché la Ferrari 250 GTO è l’auto più costosa del mondo? Nata in uno dei periodi più oscuri della storia di Maranello, è diventata una classica da 70 milioni di euro. Ecco come. LA A968.
