The 250 GTO and Bianco Speciale Legacy
The Ferrari 250 GTO earned its place in history as a dual-purpose grand touring machine—a car just as capable of dominating the race track as cruising the countryside, and doing all of it while looking like a piece of art on wheels. Even now, the Ferrari 250 GTO remains a masterpiece sculpture and a priceless historical artifact, of which only 36 were ever built. As a testament to the model’s enduring legacy and extreme desirability, all 36 examples still survive today, more than a half-century after their birth and through decades of high-stakes racing endeavors, effectively forming the most exclusive car club in all of the world.
Undeniably, each one of Ferrari’s legendary 250 GTOs is a tour de force unto itself, and just as irrefutably, it stands that Bianco Speciale is a singular rarity within that extraordinarily elite group—an unassailable giant among giants. Its next fortunate steward, to be determined this January at Mecum Kissimmee 2026, will instantly join those ranks.
With its successful racing career and distinctive white livery, Bianco Speciale’s offering at Kissimmee 2026 presents an extraordinary opportunity to join its illustrious legacy.
