At the crossroads of design, performance and luxury, the
Ferrari 250 GTL stands out as one of the most remarkable
creations of Maranello, produced in little more than 350
pieces. It’s not by chance that the Lusso fascinated racers,
gentlemen and movie stars alike: Steve McQueen was
between the many who could not resist its charme.
Beneath the sensually sculptural body of this “Grand
Tourer” designed by Pininfarina, the iconic Colombo V12
delivers 240 horsepower through a manual 4-speed
grarbox and is able to thrust the “Lusso” to an impressive
240 Km/h. It’s in this performance - and in the superb
handling of the Lusso - that Ferrari’s unique racing
expertise comes to the surface, turning this model’s drive
in a truly compelling experience.
Performance goes hand in ha
nd with comfort, with sumptuous interiors blending leather
surfaces and wooden trims and creating an incredibly
refined cocoon. The distinctively positioned gauges make
this cockpit one of the most elegant in Ferrari’s GT lineage.
This specific model - chassis 4359, with Ferrari certificate
of authenticity - was the very first 250 GTL produced in
1963 (and 9th in total). Today, decades after, the Lusso
still is a shining example of how enlighted design,
craftsmanship and engineering can turn a car into
a timeless masterpiece.
