Ferrari 250 GT Coupé

The Ferrari 250 GT Coupé Pinin Farina, produced from 1958 to 1960, marked a significant step in Ferrari's production approach, featuring a new body design while maintaining a similar mechanical layout to its predecessors. This model was Ferrari's first semi-series production car, reflecting an increase in production capacity. Carrozzeria Pinin Farina, collaborating with Ferrari since 1952, expanded its facilities with a new factory in Grugliasco to meet growing demand. The end of subcontracting with Boano and Ellena in 1958 allowed Pinin Farina to implement a more simplified and semi-industrial design for the 250 GT Coupé, resulting in the largest volume model for Ferrari at that time. The car's design included a regular rear window, a long and flat front with a wide grille, and a simplified 'notch back' style with minimal ornamentation, praised for its well-proportioned aesthetics. The new design debuted in June 1958 and was officially launched at the Paris Motor Show later that year.
