With just 36 in existence, the 250 GTO is a coveted motorcar. However, this example is even more special, thanks to its 4.0-liter engine.

It's the only example initially fitted with the larger displacement motor, unlike the 3.0-liter found in the other cars. However, the original engine made way for a 3.0-liter Colombo V12, which remains under the hood today.

This car placed second overall in the 1962 Nurburgring 1000km race, and competed in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the same year, surviving 56 laps before a crash ended the car's race.
