Production
Every figure says what it counts.
No production figures recorded yet.
History
Introduced at the Paris Motor Show in 1954, the car first kept the name 250 Europa and later gained the GT suffix to tell the two apart. The chassis was revised and shortened, with a wheelbase 7.9 inches shorter and wider tracks. Nearly all were three-window coupés by Pinin Farina; a special Vignale body was built for one customer and seven Pinin Farina aluminium berlinettas are often regarded as prototypes of the later Tour de France berlinettas.

06Reference
Identification guide
How to tell an original from a replica or later conversion.
The body is very similar to the original Europa, and Ferrari notes that a tape measure is needed to tell them apart: the main difference is the distance between the front wing and the windscreen pillars. Some bodies were aluminium, others steel, and some cars had a padded rear bench.
