Why it matters

This was one of the one-off Pinin Farina coupes that set the design direction for the production 250 GT coupe. It had the proportions of the Cabriolet Series I but plainer lines, open headlights and a light, airy cabin without louvres or decoration.

02Production & history

Production

Every figure says what it counts.

No production figures recorded yet.

History

Consumer Guide places two one-off 250 GT coupes in December 1957 to January 1958 and names one of them as a Speciale on chassis 1187 GT. The production coupe that followed, with pre-production prototypes in May 1958, had a simpler roof and rear end that were easier to build.

Ferrari's own heritage page names different chassis for the two Speciale coupes, 0725GT and 0751GT. The cached sources therefore disagree on which chassis belong to the two one-offs, and the identity of 1187GT is not confirmed by the factory page.
