Identified in 1948, 166 GT car for the first time Inter Ferrari. It was an expensive version of the 166 sports racing models as the 166 MM barchettas, and was produced between 1948 and 1950, with 37 units produced.
As a rule, they were coupé, although Stabilimenti Farina made three examples in the form of a convertible and Burton also produced a single body for convertible models. Various coachbuilders body "was installed on the series, all with their own interpretation of what they felt should be Ferrari coutured. Stabilimenti In Farina, Bertone, and Carrozzeria Touring, the last healthy first 166 sport coupe for 1948 Turin Salon, there were examples of bodies from the design house Ghia and final.
166 Inter was built on a 2420 mm wheelbase chassis tubular steel and was equipped with a 2-liter V12 aluminum engine in combination with 5-speed manual gearbox driving through a rigid rear axle. The engine comes with the 115bhp available at 6000rpm were under compression was set at 7.5:1. At the same amount of energy, 166 Inter was able to hit a top speed of 115 miles / hr
Engines in these models were twins distributor and ignition coil system, and were equipped with a twin choke carburettor as standard, although the triple twin choke carburettor settings can be specified as an option for extra performance. They were the only way, the production of Ferrari models are available from disc wheels, road type, as an alternative to more popular sports wheels and wire. In any case, they Ridge type splined hubs, sometimes under the cover chrome hub on the drive wheels.
Carrozzeria Touring examples were the most numerous, and bore many similarities with the style of their 166 MM barchettas, although longer-wheelbase chassis, and with a smoothly curved body three compartment box. Examples of Stabilimenti Farina and Ghia were very similar in general form, showing the fastback coupe bodies, which appear a little heavier than Touring interpretation, while Stabilimenti Farina cabriolet coupe were virtually identical from the waist down, and signs of folding canvas soft top, as did the healthy Bertone car. Finale offers the style was also fastback coupe, but it is much easier than the design of Farina and Ghia, providing a strong sporting image that made them second in popularity, in terms of numbers produced, according to the Touring.
Although any two models of a vehicle body may seem identical, each organ was built by hand, and the customer had the opportunity to engage in his personal whim of style, so practically every car was a man who would not have been part of numerous details of the differences, perhaps in design grille and lighting layout from one car and another from the same source. Although Inter series were built as road cars, many owners often used them in competition, and they have proved themselves well despite the heavy bodies, and full interior trim, compared to their peers racing sport. As a series of Inter road cars, front and rear bumpers were part of their clothing, Touring Car healthy with rudimentary appendages usually faced with rubber bands, while those on the Ghia, Farina, and the final sound examples were much heavier, chrome-covered ornaments.
This car looks like one of the heroes known as Doc Hudson in the hit Disney movie Cars. Great movie to watch with their children.
