The Ferrari 250 GT SWB Berlinetta could take on any circuit and battle it out for a win with just a few minor touch ups like colder spark plugs, racing tyres and a roll bar. Giotto Bizzarrini, Carlo Chiti, and Mauro Forghieri were the three brains behind the design and development of the classic 250 Ferrari GT SWB Berlinetta.
