1950 Ferrari 195 Inter

Following the success of his V-12-engined racing cars, Enzo Ferrari realized that he could attract customers to buy high-performance, luxury cars and help fund Scuderia Ferrari's racing activities. Introduced in 1950, the 195 continued the evolution of the marque, utilizing a chassis that was typical of Ferrari but with two oval longerons, which were cross-braced with oval tubing. The rear suspension employed semi-elliptical springs supported by a solid rear axle, which was located by upper and lower pairs of radius arms. The front suspension used unequal length wishbones with an anti-roll bar and transverse springs. Large 12-inch hydraulically operated aluminum drums with steel liners provided the stopping power and were concealed behind Borrani wire wheels.

The introduction of the 195 coincided nearly simultaneously with the 212, and several 195s were entered in international competition. In 1950, Giannino Marzotto won the Mille Miglia in a 195 Sport Touring Berlinetta Le Mans, with second place secured by Dorino Serafini in a 195 S Barchetta Touring. The Mille Miglia-winning Ferrari also led at Le Mans before being sidelined by a failed generator mount. The primary purpose of the 195, however, was to provide a suitable mount for elegant coachwork created by Ghia, Touring, Vignale, and others. 13 examples were bodied by Carrozzeria Vignale, 11 by Ghia, 3 by Touring and 1 by Motto.

The 195 Inter rested on a 166 Inter wheelbase that had been stretched by 3.1-inches to 98.4 inches. The Colombo-designed V12 engine displaced 2,341cc and had the same 58.8mm stroke of the 166 but used a larger 65mm stroke. Some cars received triple carburetors but most employed single Weber 36DCF carburetors and produced 128 horsepower.
