Series built cars were an answer to the wealthy clientele demands of a sporty and luxurious Ferrari Gran Turismo, that is also easier to use daily.

[18] This Europa GT received a reworked front end with flatter, lower and longer nose and more elliptical grille with a silver prancing horse and additional fog lamps inside it.

[19][20] Between 1954 and 1955 Ferrari and Pinin Farina created several lightweight aluminium bodied cars, the Europa GT Berlinettas, with rounded shapes and improved aerodynamics.

Later the same year, Lena managed a second in class and third overall at the Serravalle–San Marino hillclimb and a third place at Coppa InterEuropa GT race on Monza.

It received an uprated type 112 A engine and was raced briefly by Marquis Alfonso de Portago and later Gleb Derujinsky in the United States.

Designed and bodied either by Pinin Farina or Scaglietti on a 2,480 mm (97.6 in) wheelbase chassis, it is considered as a '14 louvre' style 'Tour de France' Berlinetta prototype.

The rear suspension sported a live axle with semi-elliptic leaf springs and lever type hydraulic shock absorbers.

[18] When Ferrari planned the sales increase of the 250 GT Coupé, it became clear that Pinin Farina fell victim to its own success and had to expand to keep up with the body production demands.

[45] Boano coupés can be easily recognized by having a single straight line running through the length of the car, without any kick-ups behind the doors, as was on Pinin Farina's original design.

[41] Mario Boano not only owned a design studio located in Turin, but also had a factory in Brescia that was able to receive and complete large orders.

[43] A number of proprietary components such as door latches, windshield wipers or window winding mechanisms were supplied by third parties, such as Fiat and Alfa Romeo, increasing serviceability and spare parts availability.

It was sold to a French customer, Jean Estager, who campaigned the car for a couple of years, winning classes in Rallye des Alpes and Col du Perthus.

[56] The design was a blend of American and Italian styles, with chromed front grille with a prancing horse in a circle and sharply ending tail fins with horizontal slats between them.

[58][59][60][61][62][63] This prototype was known as "Il Mostro" by the Ferrari team, the "Anteater" by the press and was also nicknamed "Papero" by Giotto Bizzarrini, the chief designer of the project.

Designed as a close copy of their 4.9 Superfast s/n 0719SA, with long low bonett, wide oval grille and three rear louvre vents.

[70] Princess de Réthy was renowned for her charitable work and while visiting a hospital, met with an American cardio-vascular surgeon Dr. Michael DeBakey, known for his surgery on the Shah of Iran.

Princess decided to bestow on him her Coupé Speciale as a gift, which he politely refused, but by the end of the year he received the car upon his return home.

Unable to fulfill a large contract Pinin Farina decided to build a brand new factory in Grugliasco, on the outskirts of Turin.

[4] The change from an artisan-type construction to a semi-industrialised type meant that the car's shape had to be designed with greater simplicity of body production.

[73] Initially, two or three prototypes were constructed with panoramic rear window, a shape that was well established in Pinin Farina style, and very slight kick-up fenders.

[83] As values of the 250 GT Coupés dropped, some cars were either parted out for spares or relatively inexpensively converted into other creations, replicas or competition models.

[74] S/n 0977GT was rebodied in period as a fastback coupé Piero Drogo's Carrozzeria Sports Cars for Pierre de Siebenthal and bodied in full lightweight alloy.

[84] A previously crashed Coupé s/n 1717GT from 1960, had its chassis shortened by Vaccari workshop in 1965 and was rebodied by Piero Drogo's Carrozzeria Sports Cars to resemble a 250 GTO.

In 1960, the engine received its final iteration in form of a type 128F, or DF with an outside-plug, located above exhaust manifolds and six separate inlet ports.

[72][75][73] In 1956 Pinin Farina produced a special series of only four cars individually bodied for wealthy customers and based on a unique type 513 chassis.

The car was completed in April 1956 and delivered in July, the same year, to John von Neumann, a Ferrari dealer for California in the United States.

Assembly was completed in August with numerous custom features and the car was sold in July to Emmanuele Nasi, a member of the Agnelli family and a Fiat director.

[96] The 1955 250 Europa GT Competizione, chassis 0415GT, formerly owned by Marquis Alfonso de Portago was sold on Gooding's Pebble Beach 2013 auction for US$7.15 million.

[101] The 1957 250 GT Coupé Speciale by Pinin Farina, a one-off coachwork for Lilian, Princess of Réthy on chassis 0751GT, was offered on RM Sotheby's Arizona auction in 2019 at an estimate of US$11 – US$13 million.

[70] One of only four, 1956 Ferrari 250 GT Coupé Speciale by Pinin Farina, chassis 0465GT, was sold on RM Auctions at the Amelia Island in 2012 for US$1.43 million.
