Ferrari 125 S in Maranello

Description

Ferrari 125 S in Maranello The Ferrari 125 S (commonly 125 or 125 Sport) was the first vehicle produced and built by automaker Ferrari of Modena, Italy. Although preceded by Enzo Ferrari's Auto Avio Costruzioni 815 of 1940, the 125 S was the first vehicle to bear the Ferrari name when it debuted on May 11, 1947 at the Piacenza racing circuit. Like the 815, it was a racing sports car, but unlike its Fiat-powered 8-cylinder predecessor, the 125 S featured a V12 engine (the "125"), a trait most Ferrari cars of the following decades. The 125 S was replaced by the 159 S for 1947. The 125 S was powered by Gioacchino Colombo's 1.5 L (1497 cc) 60° V12. This engine produced 100 hp at 7000 rpm with a compression ratio of 8.5:1. It was a dual overhead camshaft design with 2 valves per cylinder and three double-choke Weber 30DCF carburettors. Both of the two 125 S cars built in 1947 were dismantled, and their parts are thought to have been re-used in production of the 159 or 166 models. This one, the only one in the world, is exposed at the Ferrari Museum of Maranello. Filmed by Nonsolonoia
