Ferrari
250 GT Coupé Pinin Farina Series I

Why it matters

The Pinin Farina 250 GT coupe was the first Ferrari and Pinin Farina road car planned for series production in the hundreds rather than dozens. To make that possible Ferrari set up its first formal assembly line in 1958-59 while Pinin Farina moved to a new, larger factory. The press received the car warmly, and a US magazine voted it its 1960 sports car of the year.

History

The coupe joined the Pinin Farina Cabriolet Series I in 1958. Two one-off coupes were built between December 1957 and January 1958 with sober, undecorated lines and open headlights, and pre-production prototypes followed in May 1958. The definitive coupe was introduced in 1958 on the 250 GT chassis and stayed in production into 1960.

A first planned run of 200 cars was reported sold out well in advance, and more than 350 coupes were eventually built, nearly all in standard Pinin Farina coachwork with a few one-offs for special clients. The cached sources do not divide this run into Series I and Series II, so these figures describe the whole Pinin Farina coupe line.
