This time, Nuccio Bertone decided to dedicate the project to himself. In 1962, Bertone built the second and last Ferrari on a 250 GT chassis. Made in a single copy, the car had a forked front air intake in the style of racing cars of the time. Aggressive body lines were brilliantly complemented by thoughtful details that emphasized the car's sportiness: for example, the wedge-shaped false radiator grille echoed a similar detail of a Ferrari Formula 1 race car. Impeccable styling and a visual center of gravity shifted to the rear axle give the Maranello an extraordinary personality. It was presented to the public at the 1962 Geneva Motor Show and was admired by everyone.
