Profile & significance

Colombo V12 2,562.51 cc, 150 hp at 6,500 rpm, five-speed, 2,600-mm wheelbase, 1,000 kg dry and 200 km/h. Ferrari’s relationship with Pinin Farina began to mature here while Vignale remained highly expressive; later cars introduced the stiffer “Tuboscocca” concept. SBR cites 73 cars and a 2018 Ghia coupé sale of £964,000, implying approximately $0.8–1.8 million for ordinary documented cars today and much more for special coachwork.
