The Ferrari 225 S, produced in 1952, was an evolution of the Ferrari 212 Export with significant engine improvements, marking the final iteration of the Colombo V12 engine before the introduction of the 250-family. Renowned for its success in competitions, the 225 S won several prestigious races including the 1952 Monaco Grand Prix for sports cars and the Portuguese Grand Prix. A total of 14 open spyder cars, designed by Giovanni Michelotti for Vignale, and six closed Berlinettas were created. The 225 S featured a 2.7 L Colombo V12 engine, producing 210 PS at 7200 rpm, and was mounted on either a traditional tubular spaceframe or a Tuboscocca semi-monocoque chassis. Its impressive racing record and limited production have made the 225 S a coveted collector's item, with auction prices significantly rising over the years. Notable sales include a 1952 225 Sport Spyder Vignale and a 225 Sport Berlinetta "Tuboscocca" by Vignale, fetching high prices at auctions, reflecting the model's desirability and historical significance.
