Ferrari 166 S

The Ferrari 166 S, produced between 1948 and 1953, was an evolution of the 125 S racer with a Colombo V12 engine and later adapted into the 166 Inter for street use. Only 12 units were built, with nine as Spyder Corsas with cycle-fenders. It was succeeded by the 166 MM, with 47 units produced, marking Ferrari's entry as a serious competitor in racing with victories in the Targa Florio, Mille Miglia, and others. The 166 shared its design and suspension with the 125, featuring a 2.0 L V12 engine with an output between 110 and 130 PS, reaching speeds up to 215 km/h. The 166 MM, with increased power, achieved even higher speeds. Motor Trend Classic ranked the 166 MM Barchetta sixth among the "Greatest Ferraris of all time." The 166 S won the Targa Florio and Mille Miglia in 1948 and 1949, with the 166 MM also winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1949. A 166 chassis with a 195 S engine won the Mille Miglia in 1950. The oldest surviving Ferrari is a 166 Spider Corsa, originally a 159 and now owned by James Glickenhaus. A 166 MM was discovered in 2006, and another was the first Ferrari bodied by Zagato, later recreated under Zagato's Sanction Lost program.
