Probably one of Ferrari/Pininfarina’s most beautiful designs, the 250GT Berlinetta SWB dominated the 1960 24 Hours of Le Mans by taking the first four positions. With a shorter wheelbase (SWB) than the 250GT Berlinetta and the removal of the rear quarter windows,
the 250GT SWB boasted improved cornering due to the wheelbase reduction. A revised V12 was parked under the hood, along with larger carburetors. The competition version crushed everyone else on the racing circuit in 1959 and 1960. Current versions bring upwards of $4 million to own a piece of racing history.
