The 250 GTE was Ferrari's first series-production 2+2, built from 1960 to 1963 with a Pininfarina-styled body and the 3.0-liter Colombo V12 producing roughly 240 hp. It was Ferrari's first genuinely practical four-seater and sold in far greater numbers than any earlier road car. That volume funded racing and made the marque's grand touring formula viable.
It carries the same Colombo V12 and chassis lineage as the 250 GT SWB and Tour de France cars, in a usable and understated package. As the foundation of Ferrari's 2+2 tradition and a favorite for classic tours, it offers genuine 250-series character with real-world usability.
