Petrolicious bring us an amazing 7 minutes video from the Ferrari 250 GTO being driven from the popular racing driver Derek Hill. The video is made in such a way that you actually feel like you are driving the Ferrari. It is a good feeling isn’t it? This point of view makes us want to watch this video over and over, because watching this video is free and buying a Ferrari 250 GTO is pretty expensive. However there are many people that in fact own this kind of Ferrari, so I guess that it will not be that interesting for them, but we are sure that they will be impressed with this wonderful 7 minutes clip. It is just shame that this video lasts only that much, because it would be a nicer if it was over 10 minutes.
For those who do not know Ferrari 250 series were built for the company’s most successful years. They were in fact built from 1953 to 1964. In those years the Ferrari factory became very famous and well you know the rest. The 250 GTO model was built from 1962 to 1964 and 39 cars were built. They are sports cars with awesome design and style. They were actually designed to race in GT racing where they had a lot of rivals back then. The designers of this model are Giotto Bizzarrini and Sergio Scaglietti. With fantastic looks and V12 4.0 liter 300 horsepower engine controlled by 5 speed dog leg manual transmission they managed to make one of the best vehicle models in that time. Because of that it is not strange that back then they were sold for $18,000 and the buyers should be approved personally by the CEO of the company Enzo Ferrari and the Ferrari manager and dealer in North America Luigi Chinetti. Four years ago in 2012 May, the 1962 Ferrari became the most expensive car in the world. They sold it for $38,115,000.
