The secret behind the name of the Ferrari 250

The Ferrari 250 are a famous series of racing and Grand Touring cars produced by the Italian manufacturer Ferrari between the early 1950s and the mid-1960s. Their name refers to their engine, a V12 designed by Gioacchino Colombo in which each cylinder had a unit displacement of 250 cm3. This prodigious mechanism allowed the brand to dominate international motorsport for a long time during events such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
