The Ferrari 250 GT Lusso is a bigger, more comfortable, and sleeker model in the classic 250 series. It is also the last model in the 250 series, produced from 1962 to 1964 and consisting of 351 total units. Powering the 250 GT Lusso is a 3.0-liter V12 with 240 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque. It goes from 0 to 60 mph in 7.5 seconds. Its V12 is paired to either a 4-speed or 5-speed manual. The 250 GT Lusso contains many unique features. For example, its gas cap is located in the trunk so it doesn't mess with the vehicle's overall design. Unlike most cars, the windshield washer fluid is stored in a bag under the hood and controlled by pressing a button in the driver's footwell by the driver's left foot. The Lusso's rectangular hood vent, which is specific to that vehicle, is actually fake and intended to enhance its design. It has two seats with fixed backrests, while seat belts were optional on the 250 GT Lusso. Side mirrors were also optional on the 250 GT Lusso, explaining why the example above doesn't have any. The two large exposed screws on each side of the vehicle are lift points for removing the chassis from the rest of the vehicle when making repairs back in the day. The Ferrari 250 GT Lusso is currently valued anywhere between $2 million and $5 million. Not only is it the rarest car I saw in Beverly Hills over two months ago, it is also the most valuable car seen during my trip there. The 250 GT Lusso isn't nearly as sought after as other Ferrari 250 models such as the GT SWB, California Spider, Testa Rossa, and GTO, but it is absolutely amazing and one of the most beautiful cars ever made.
