The 166 Inter Establishes a Road-Car Lineage

1948

The 166 Inter develops Ferrari’s early competition-derived engineering into a more explicitly road-oriented grand touring car, produced in small numbers with coachbuilt bodies.

Automotive significance

Powered by a 1,995 cc Colombo V12, the 166 Inter helped separate Ferrari’s growing road-car activity from its pure competition machinery without abandoning the same technical roots. Later 250 GT development can be traced back through this small-volume Inter lineage, making it an important step toward a repeatable grand touring business rather than one-off racing projects alone.

Heritage meets live inventory
