Product Description
The Colombo V12 engine is an evolution of the engine used in the 250 Testa Rossa and is one of the most iconic and sought-after engines in automotive history.
The Colombo V12 is a 60-degree V12 car engine developed by Gioacchino Colombo (1903-1987) for Ferrari. It was used in a number of Ferrari's most successful racing and road cars from 1950 to 1968 and helped Ferrari to numerous race wins and championships. It was also a very reliable engine, known for its smooth and powerful performance - not to mention the sound of a twelve-cylinder engine with open intake funnels!
The Colombo V12 is considered to be one of the most important engines of all time and, significantly, despite the e-drives that are on everyone's lips today, Ferrari recently unveiled another twelve-cylinder car and called it Dodici Cilindri.
It is exciting to hear that the CMC Ferrari 250 GTO engine comes in a new hand-laminated packaging and also a new and very high quality display case. The use of extremely high quality Japanese acrylic glass from Mitsubishi for the display case is a particularly notable detail as it is known for its exceptional visual quality and durability. This ensures that enthusiasts have an unobstructed and detailed view of this legendary engine.
In addition to its clarity, Mitsubishi acrylic glass is also highly scratch resistant and easy to clean. This means that the display case will retain its appearance for years to come, even with regular use. Overall, the use of Mitsubishi acrylic is a testament to the commitment to quality and attention to detail that has gone into the development of this new packaging and display case. It is sure to be a welcome addition to any collector or enthusiast lucky enough to own one of these iconic motors.
