Introduced in 1948, the Ferrari 166 Spyder Corsa was one of the marque’s earliest purpose-built competition cars and the first series offered to private racing customers. Powered by Ferrari’s compact 2.0-liter Colombo V12, its lightweight design could be adapted for both sports car and Formula racing. Built in extremely limited numbers, the 166 Spyder Corsa helped establish Ferrari’s early competition reputation and paved the way for the legendary 166 MM.
