The Ferrari 166mm Spyder: A Classic in Motorsport
The Ferrari 166mm Spider, a masterpiece from the era between 1948 and 1953, is an iconic vehicle in the history of automobiles. This model, designed by Carlo Anderloni of Carrozzeria Touring, represented the first generation of open two-seaters from the Italian manufacturer. The Ferrari 166mm Spider was the successor to the 125 S and brought numerous technical innovations with it. Equipped with a 2.0-liter V12 engine developed by Gioachino Colombo, the car could reach up to 140 horsepower and achieve speeds of over 200 km/h (124 mph), a remarkable performance for that time. Weighing only about 650 kilograms (1,433 pounds), this was made possible by its aluminum body. The car's lightness enabled outstanding driving dynamics and led to many successes in motorsport.
Success Story in Motorsport
The racing career of the Ferrari 166mm Spider was highly successful. The car debuted in 1948 at the Mille Miglia and immediately won the prestigious event. The Ferrari 166mm Spider also triumphed in other significant races such as the Targa Florio and the 24 Hours of Spa. Renowned drivers who piloted the Ferrari 166mm Spider included Giovanni Bracco and Luigi Villoresi, both among the most successful racers of their era. The combination of technical expertise and driving skill of these drivers made the Ferrari 166mm Spider a legend on the race tracks of the 1940s and 1950s.
Technical Features of the Original
A special highlight of the Ferrari 166mm Spider was the tubular frame, which, in combination with the lightweight aluminum body, provided excellent weight distribution and high torsional rigidity. This construction allowed the vehicle to ideally combine lightness and strength. In addition to the V12 engine designed by Gioachino Colombo and the advanced aerodynamics, the suspension with independent front suspension and double wishbones, along with a De Dion rear axle, contributed to the outstanding driving dynamics. The Ferrari 166mm Spider set new standards in automotive engineering.
