Ferrari 250 GTO – Most Iconic Car Ever Made

The 250 GTO is Ferrari’s most iconic car ever made. It was originally a race-car built by hand in Italy and the best part is that they only made 39 units. Because of that the price of the Ferrari 250 GTO reached insane levels with the last one being sold for north of $50 million. This is considerably more than any other car ever made and it showed people that cars can be seen as art. However, fast forward more than 50 years and we don’t really have something like that anymore. Luckily though there are still people trying to design impressive cars with one of them being a Ukrainian artist. Not that long ago he designed the 612 GTO III. While the car shares its name with the older 612 released back in 2004, it has nothing in common with it. In fact it seems the new model is meant to be a modern-day 250 GTO with all the perks of that car but none of the drawbacks.

IN DETAIL

The artist decided to keep quiet about most of the details about the car and let most of them to people’s imagination. However, he did say a few things about it. For starters it seems that the new 612 would be based on the same chassis as the F12. This means it would feature a carbon fiber unibody wrapped in carbon fiber body panels. However, unlike the rather heavy F12, the 612 would be considerably lighter.
