The 250 LM was first seen at the Paris Automobile Show in October 1963 and was built as the replacement for the 250 GTO to compete in the GT category of sports-car racing, however, Ferrari produced only 32 250 LMs and the car was forced to compete as a sports-prototype. The body was built by Scaglietti around Ferrari's first-ever mid-engined layout. It proved to be an excellent competitor on the race track beginning with victory in the Rheims 12 Hours of July 5, 1964, for the Maranello Concessionaires car driven by Graham Hill and Jo Bonnier.
This car went one better and, in the hands of Jochen Rindt and Masten Gregory driving for Luigi Chinetti's North American Racing Team (NART), it was the last Ferrari to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans, taking the crown in 1965. The pair completed 347 laps of the 8.365 mile circuit, averaging 120.944 mph for the 24 hours. In the years after its 1965 victory, this 250 LM competed at the 24-Hours of Daytona in 1966 and 1968. It returned to the 24-Hours of Le Mans in 1968 and 1969, before its final race at the 1970 24-Hours of Daytona, where it finished seventh. Shortly after its final race, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum acquired the Ferrari 250 LM.
The car has a 3.3 liter V-12 engine producing 320 horsepower at 7,500 RPM with a five-speed transmission and a top speed of 287 km/h. It weighs 1,874 pounds.
