2021 GTO Engineering 250 SWB

Named the 250 SWB Revival, based upon the 1960 Ferrari 250 GT SWB Berlinetta Competizione, GTO Engineering has revived a legend with its modern experience and given it ultimate road and track customisation opportunities. You can find more visual details of the 2021 GTO Engineering 250 SWB gallery by scrolling up.

From the chassis to the cockpit, every element of the 250 SWB Revival has been strictly enhanced, improved or rebuilt at the GTO Engineering UK headquarters, using the team’s extensive knowledge, know-how, historical technical drawings and industry insight. The result is a visceral experience of a high-revving Colombo V12, enjoyable chassis, lightweight aluminium body with a classic exterior and interior design, plus some modern touches to make it a pleasure to drive daily, on track or save for Sunday best.

Inspired by the legendary 1960 Ferrari 250 GT SWB Berlinetta Competizione, which is one of the most successful Ferrari race cars of the period, the GTO Engineering team offers the 250 SWB Revival as a more usable, customisable and bespoke variant of the highly collectable original Competition car. Driven in period by the likes of Sir Stirling Moss who hailed it as “the greatest GT car in the world” as it took wins at Le Mans (1960 class win), Tourist Trophy (1960) and Spa GP (1960), today it’s regarded one of the most notable, collectable and appreciating cars of its type, thus is rarely seen on the road and occasionally at historic race meetings.Utilising original drawings, measurements and knowledge, the GTO Engineering 250 SWB Revival uses a hand-built tubular frame underneath a hand-beaten aluminium body. It’s based on the shorter format of the 1960 Ferrari 250 GT SWB Berlinetta Competizione specifications, which is eight inches shorter than the 250 GT. Each GTO Engineering 250 SWB Revival is created as a bespoke build, with a plethora of options designed for enjoying the car on the road, used for rallying, touring, sprinting and racing.“It’s hard to beat perfection [the 250 SWB], but you can make it more drivable, liveable and easier to use on a daily basis. You can also provide drivers the option for different V12 engines and gearboxes, which you can’t with an original. We wanted to give flexibility to owners who either want a grand tourer, a faster set-up road car or full race car that you can drive to and from events. The 250 SWB Revival was designed to be versatile, usable but also completely customisable,” further comments GTO Engineering Managing Director Mark Lyon.

Engine:

Built in house, each Colombo V12 engine takes over 300-man hours to produce. The GTO Engineering team can build to 3.0-litre, 3.5-litre and 4.0-litre specification and can offer bespoke cc capacity depending on customer desire. Each Colombo V12 engine is paired with triple carburettors, giving the driver a smooth power delivery.

Gearbox:

Available with a four- or optional five-speed gearbox, the team created their own internal design package for the gearbox. Designed to be a precise gearchange that works in traffic and at high-speed, for enhanced usability. For owners looking for uprated clutches, GTO Engineering can fit bespoke clutch set-ups, too.

Exterior:

Available as a revival of the 1960 Ferrari 250 GT SWB Berlinetta Competizione, of which the 250 SWB Revival takes inspiration, each client can build a car without bumpers (as standard on the 250 GT SWB Berlinetta Competizione) or GTO Engineering offers bespoke chrome bumpers for a more road-inspired look should the customer desire.

Wheels and brakes:

Incorporating the disc brake design from period, of which the 250 SWB was the first Ferrari GT car to include disc brakes, the GTO Engineering team uses traditional disc brakes and offers customers optional lighter and more heat efficient aluminium brake callipers.

Wheels are available in 16” or optional smaller 15” in polished or standard finish. The set-up is square with optional 6J or 6.5J width wheels.

Suspension and handling:

With the team’s extensive road and racing knowledge they can offer a bespoke suspension and alignment set-up for increased grip, stability, comfort and usability. For driver experience, a smaller steering wheel is available as a cost option alongside a quicker 17:1 steering ratio.

Interior:

Available as standard with a fully leather-trimmed seats and optional leather-trimmed headrests, owners can specify their cars with lap belts or harnesses (with optional harness bar). The headlining is trimmed in the original perforated material that would have been on the original 1960 Ferrari 250 GT SWB Berlinetta Competizione.

Air-conditioning is also available as an optional extra, with the fans fitted behind the driver to ensure the originality of the dashboard set-up. Customers can also specify a carefully-designed under dash USB charger to be fitted, too. This is not visible from the exterior of the car but increases usability for mobile GPS, for example.

Race-derived:

Available as a road car or in a racing specification the GTO Engineering team can assist with securing HTP papers, fitting with a full cage inc. door bars, half cage or rear harness bar. The team can also provide a competition-inspired gearbox, too, as a bespoke build, as well as bug screens. Bug screens were used heavily in period at endurance races and rallies to stop bugs smearing on the windscreen and decreasing visibility.

Colour customisation:

Each customer is invited to the specification room at GTO Engineering to hand pick their bespoke colour options for interior and exterior. Available in a range of traditional exterior colours as campaigned in period, the team has built cars in iconic liveries, paint schemes and bespoke non-period colours. GTO Engineering has done variations of painted stripes, liveries and race roundels, too. Likewise, the leather can be coloured in a range of hues to match customers’ specification desires.
