Ferrari 250 Performance Overview
Across 6 independently verified tests spanning 1957 to 1964, Ferrari’s 250 line is defined by front-engined, naturally aspirated V12 performance, with output ranging from 240 to 300 hp from engines including the Tipo 168 U, Tipo 168/62 Comp. V12, Colombo V12, and Tipo 128 Colombo V12. Early in the run, the 1957 Testa Rossa Competition Spider 2500 set the pace at 5.8 seconds to 60 mph and ran the quarter-mile in 13.3 seconds at 105 mph, establishing the quickest figures recorded for the model family in this dataset.
As the 250 range broadened, performance remained tightly grouped despite different body styles and roles. The 1961 GT California Spider reached 60 mph in 6.4 seconds, while the 1963 GTO Coupe did the same in 6.0 seconds, showing how the later competition-focused cars sustained the model’s upper end. By 1964, the 250 GTO Coupe matched the all-time best with another 5.8-second 0-60 run, whereas the 1964 GT Berlinetta Lusso posted the slowest verified result at 8.0 seconds. Taken together, the available tests average 6.98 seconds to 60 mph and a 15.2-second quarter-mile at 97.2 mph, placing the 250 today as a compact but clearly defined gasoline-only V12 performance record within Ferrari’s late-1950s and early-1960s road and competition lineage.

How we verify Ferrari 250 performance data
Records and averages on this page cover verified production runs only; modified and prototype results are listed by year but never folded into them. We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Ferrari 250 trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.
