Ferrari 250 GT Bertone
Chassis
#1739GT
At the beginning of the 1960’s Nuccio Bertone began looking into the possibility of setting up new deals with the manufacturers and led his design team with the invaluable experience of years in the trade. This led to a series of great cars, including the Ferrari 3000, a model of great personality which also bore the unmistakable mark of a Bertone of the day. The car was a one-off, and very rare, a Ferrari created on the direct commission of a businessman from Genoa, on chassis number 1739 of the 250 GT. The roof, borne on wrap-around glass, is supported by slim pillars which give the car a very light, fast feel, without abandoning some of the stylistic elements which had become a Maranello tradition.
Vehicle Overview
In 1962 Bertone built his second and final Ferrari, on a Ferrari 250 GT chassis. This time round Nuccio Bertone decided that he would dedicate the design to himself. The car, which was a one-off, features two twin air inlets on the front recalling the Sports and Formula vehicles of the day. It was presented at the 1962 Geneva Motor Show and greatly admired. The aggressive lines of the bodywork were much commented on, with the details which show up the car’s sporty personality: the double wedge-shaped radiator grille inspired by the Formula 1 Ferraris of the day, for instance. The unmistakable style and unusual distribution of balance, towards the rear of the car, give the Maranello model a brand new personality of its own.
