The earliest Ferraris like this 1950 166mm “Burchetta” are rare. To the eye, they are amazingly small under the hood only one carburetor on the V12 engine. While the body is stunning there is no extra weight on it. There is no lining for the doors and no weather protection. The “clocks” run counter clockwise. As on any Racing Car the tachometer is closet to the driver.

| The 1963 Ferrari GTO. One of the main things that Ferrari paid attention to was the aerodynamics. The “lip” spoiler and low nose were both designed to create down force. The wind tunnel at the University of Pisa was used to refine the design. As it is a racer the huge tachometer dominates the instrumentation. |

It was a very forward looking car, with alloy wheels instead of wires and a mid-mounted engine. It shows Ferrari’s roots of building small, light, and smooth handling cars. | |
