The Ferrari 250 GT LWB California Spider was built from 1959 to 1960.
The Competizione, the most traded version: The 250 GT LWB California Spider Competizione represents Ferrari's most aggressive interpretation of their elegant roadster formula. Built on the long-wheelbase Tour de France chassis, these competition-spec Californias featured lightweight aluminum bodywork by Scaglietti, stripped interiors, and the potent 280-hp Colombo V12. With just nine examples produced between 1959-1960, the Competizione was purpose-built for serious racing, ditching creature comforts for pure performance. The distinctive covered headlights, aggressive front air dam, and functional racing modifications set it apart from the more civilized street versions. Several campaigned successfully in period racing, including SCCA events and European hillclimbs. Today, these ultra-rare Ferraris command astronomical prices at auction, with examples selling for $15-20 million. The Competizione perfectly embodies Ferrari's racing DNA from the golden era, making it one of the most coveted classics among serious collectors who appreciate both provenance and performance pedigree.
