The very last Ferrari 250 Europa GT, produced in 1956, encapsulates all the improvements made throughout its lineage. It is powered by the legendary 2,953 cc Colombo V12 engine producing 220 horsepower, a shorter-wheelbase chassis, redesigned suspension, and four‑wheel Alfin hydraulic drum brakes. Its sleek coachwork by Pinin Farina debuted at the 1956 Brussels Motor Show and shortly thereafter competed at Spa‑Francorchamps.

The car underwent a meticulous restoration by top Ferrari specialists, retaining its matching‑numbers engine and body, and received Ferrari Classiche certification. This authenticity renders it eligible for elite international concours, rally, and vintage driving events.

The Europa GT series, produced from 1954 to 1956, marked Ferrari’s first true Gran Turismo model and paved the way for the famed 250 GT lineage. With fewer than 40 units built—all bodied by Pinin Farina—this example stands as an outstanding representation of the first generation of these iconic GTs.
