A very rare sighting: the Ferrari 250 GT SWB Berlinetta Competizione

The Ferrari 250 GT SWB Berlinetta is a highly sought-after Ferrari variant from the 1960s. But it's no wonder, because when you see "250," you know the car must be popular.

The Ferrari 250 GT SWB Berlinetta Competizione was first introduced in 1959 and remained in production until 1962. The abbreviation "SWB" stands for "Short Wheelbase," highlighting the shorter wheelbase that gave this model its name. The shorter wheelbase improved the agility and handling of the vehicle compared to its predecessor, the 250 GT LWB (Long Wheelbase).
The 250 GT SWB Competizione was equipped with a 3.0-liter V12 engine that produced 280 horsepower. This engine was a masterpiece of engineering and produced an impressive sound. The body of the SWB Berlinetta was manufactured by Pininfarina.
This previously unseen specimen was spotted in Spa, Belgium, not far from the famous Spa-Francorchamps racing circuit.
