Description of the Real Model
The Ferrari 250 GTO was born in 1962 under the influence of Enzo Ferrari and his engineer Giotto Bizzarrini. Designed specifically to dominate race circuits in the Grand Touring category, this revolutionary automobile combines an aerodynamic body designed by Pininfarina with the proven mechanics of the 250 GT SWB.
Equipped with a 3 liter V12 engine producing 300 horsepower, the GTO delivers exceptional performance for its time, with a top speed exceeding 280 km/h. Its aluminum body, merging beauty and aerodynamic efficiency, makes it one of the most beautiful automotive creations ever made.
Produced in just 39 units between 1962 and 1964, the Ferrari GTO achieved immediate success in competition, notably winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans and many GT championships. This rarity and its victories make it one of the most sought-after and expensive cars in the world today.
The Ferrari Brand in the 1960s
In the early 1960s, Ferrari experienced a golden age under the leadership of Enzo Ferrari. The prancing horse brand dominated both Formula 1 and endurance racing, establishing its reputation as an exceptional manufacturer. This era marked the pinnacle of collaboration with the most prestigious Italian coachbuilders.
Founded in 1947 by Enzo Ferrari, Scuderia quickly established itself as the symbol of Italian automotive excellence. Enzo's philosophy, prioritizing pure performance and the thrill of driving, guides every creation of the brand. The 1960s saw the birth of legendary models such as the 250 GT, the Daytona, and of course the mythical GTO, forever solidifying Ferrari's global reputation.
A Legend Born on the Circuit
The story of the Ferrari GTO is inseparable from that of Stirling Moss, who was one of the first drivers to reveal its exceptional potential during testing in 1962. In a memorable session on the Monza circuit, the British driver improved the lap record by several seconds, leaving Ferrari engineers in awe of their creation's performance.
The GTO quickly became the object of desire among gentleman drivers of the time. Enzo Ferrari, aware of holding a masterpiece in his hands, personally selected each buyer, even refusing some millionaires whom he deemed unworthy of owning his creation. This selectivity contributed to the GTO's legendary status.
In 1964, a yellow GTO participated in the 24 Hours of Le Mans with a notably striking livery. This unusual color for a racing Ferrari became iconic and inspires numerous reproductions today, including this Burago miniature that perpetuates this remarkable chromatic tradition.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to understand the scales of miniatures?
Scale indicates the reduction ratio between the real car and the miniature. For example, at 1:43 scale, each centimeter on the miniature corresponds to 43 centimeters on the real vehicle.
Concretely, a 1/18 scale Ferrari model is approximately 25-30 cm long, while in 1/43 scale it measures approximately 10 cm.
What scales are available?
Our model cars are mainly offered in 1/43, 1/24, 1/18 and 1/87 (HO) scales. The scale is always indicated in the product sheet.
The smaller the second number, the larger the model car (e.g. 1/18 is larger than 1/43).
