This is the last of the five built.

While Ferrari had already experienced success in sports car racing, it was the 166 Mille Miglia that would go on to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Targa Florio, and the Mille Miglia. After the 166 MM swept these popular European races, the Berlinetta Le Mans was developed as a result between Ferrari and Touring, when they set out to develop a purpose-built competition car. This example, being presented by Gooding and Company, is the last of only five made of the 1950 Ferrari 166 MM Berlinetta Le Mans cars.

The 166 MM Berlinetta Le Mans was unveiled at Geneva in 1950. Built from lightweight aluminum, the Berlinetta Le Mans version was a more aerodynamically intelligent vehicle than its predecessor. This car is made for speed and performance, specially in endurance racing, as seen with the cockpit, built with leather tie-down straps, large external fuel fillers, and lightweight Plexiglass windows.
