Ferrari 250 GT SWB HISTORY
The Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta SWB, often referred to as the Ferrari GT SWB, was unveiled in October 1959 at the Paris Motor Show and immediately became one of the best GT racers of its time. However, it was more than a race car. As the name suggests, the Ferrari 250 GT SWB was a GT car designed for maximum track performance and road usability and would join the list of the first dual-purpose Ferraris that Ferrari would call road racers. Before the Ferrari 250 GT SWB’s production, Ferrari had partnered with Carrozzeria Pininfarina, leading to the world’s renowned coachbuilder becoming a Ferrari partner. A relationship that started at a restaurant in a small town halfway between Turin and Modena made Pininfarina Ferrari’s exclusive designer and coachbuilder do bodywork for some of Ferrari’s most iconic cars, including the 250GT SWB. Underneath that stunning body, Ferrari used a Colombo 3.0-liter V12 in the Ferrari 250 GT SWB, making 220 to 280 horsepower depending on the model year and specs. Some specs were more powerful than others, especially those specced as competition race cars and Lusso Ferrari 250 GT SWBs by Ferrari’s special customers. Today, the Ferrari 250 GT SWB is remembered for its race wins, with its short wheelbase giving it an advantage over most of its competitors. It claimed the podium in some of the most extreme races, such as the 1960 and 1961 Lemans and the 1960, 1961, and 1962 Tour de France. Stirling Moss, one of the most competent drivers the racing world has ever seen, raced and won in a Ferrari 250 GT SWB. He even owned one since it was new! How much is a Ferrari 250 GT SWB worth? The lowest sale recorded was $968,000 in 2013, and the highest sale value is $16,500,000, which should give you an idea of how expensive the Ferrari 250 GT SWB is. Most car valuers value it at between $7,000,000 and $10,000,000, but some units will sell for more than that. For example, the Ferrari 250 GT SWB that Stirling Moss raced in 1961 sold for a mind-blowing $11 million.
