The 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO was powered by the legendary 3.0-liter Colombo V12 engine, a masterpiece of engineering derived from Ferrari’s earlier racing successes. Designed by Gioachino Colombo, this lightweight, high-revving engine featured six Weber carburetors, single overhead camshafts per bank, and produced approximately 300 horsepower. With its exceptional balance of power, reliability, and responsiveness, the Colombo V12 propelled the 250 GTO to dominance on the track, including victories in the FIA GT World Championship.
