The original Ferrari, the 125S. It had a 12-cylinder engine that produced 118 bhp at 6,800 rpm with a compression ratio of 9.5:1. It was a single overhead camshaft design with 2 valves per cylinder and three double-choke Weber 30DCF carburettors. It raced on the track at Piacenza in 1947 before winning the Rome Grand Prix later that year, completing the 85-mile race at speeds averaging 55 miles per hour.
The Ferrari Thomassima II is extremely rare; only three were made, and only Thomassima II and III remain. Thomassima I was destroyed in a flood, and Thomassima III is at the factory Ferrari Museum in Modena, Italy. This privately owned Thomassima II, in northern California, was commissioned in 1966 as an homage to the Ferrari 330 P4, with a rare Ferrari 250-plug, V12 engine.
