Professional racer Skip Barber presents his beloved Ferrari 275 GTB in the latest episode from Petrolicious. Skip explains in the video that as he started winning races, some of which in Formula 1, his goals were set towards the progression of his racing career. He eventually opened his eponymously named school for gifted racers and later became an owner of the famous Lime Rock Park race track to which he calls home today. As for the car, his 275 GTB features a lightweight chassis in signature Ferrari red with design direction from Pininfarina. Its V12 engine through a six-carburetor two-cam produced up to 300 horsepower at time of production — while its power is plentiful, the beauty that wraps around the engine makes the 275 GTB, rightfully so, as highly coveted as Skip explains it to be.
