Conversion by Big FAT Luke, updated by Team AC LegendsThe Ferrari 250 GT Short Wheelbase (SWB) introduced at the 1959 Paris Salon can be considered the very last Ferrari suitable for road and track. From that day onwards Ferraris would be purpose-built: the ensuing racing 250 GTO and 250 LM, and the 250 GT Lusso road car.The first batch of SWBs were pure, alloy-bodied Competiziones. They were rushed into service early in 1960, finishing fourth, sixth and seventh overall at Sebring, showcasing the prowess of the 250 GT SWB. Before the 250 GTO arrived, the Competizione SWB was the must-have car in GT racing due to its many wins. Even in 1962, with GTOs dominating, an SWB won the Tour de France Auto.The 250 GT SWB Lusso was a fast berlinetta, but the race-prepared Competizione was entirely different. Tuned engines with lightweight pistons, larger valves, special cranks, and big Weber carburettors produced up to 300bhp. Consequently, such engineering marvels solidified the 250 GT SWB’s status. Ferrari was determined to win the 1961 International GT Championship for Constructors and produced a handful of very special cars to achieve it. Often referred to as SEFAC Hot Rods or Comp 61s, these cars were lighter and more powerful thanks to the use of several enhancements. These included a special frame using smaller diameter tubing with supplementary bracing to increase rigidity, lightweight body, aluminum bumpers, Plexiglas side windows, raked windscreen, 168B/61 engine fitted with 250 TR cylinder heads using revised cam timing, larger intake ports, six Weber 46 DCF/3 carburetors, and competition exhaust. These cars produced between 285-295 horsepower at 7000 rpm and depending on gear and axle ratios could achieve 160 mph at LeMans. There are generally considered to have been 20 or 21 SEFAC Hot Rods built.
