1947 Ferrari 159 S<\/h1>\n

The second Ferrari. The 159 S was an evolutionary step up from the 125. Same tube frame chassis and suspension.\u00a0Bigger, more powerful 1.9-liter V12 engine under the good. Only two ever built.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The second Ferrari ever was the 159 S. Built as as successor for the\u00a0125 S<\/a>, it has a bigger engine and some body modifications (extra vents on the front). It was a very rare car with only two ever built (one of these rebuilt as a Ferrari 166 Spyder Corsa so think of the 159 S as a production run of 1 car).\u00a0The 159 S was an evolutionary step up from the 125 S and onto the 166 S<\/a>\u00a0which Ferrari built in decent numbers.<\/p>\n

The 125 S had a 1.5-liter 60 degree V-12, designed by Gioacchino Colombo. For the 159 S, it was bored and stroked up to 1.9 liters. With a bore\/stroke of 59 x 58 mm it produce 125 bhp at 6,500 rpm which was only up from 118hp in the 125 (thanks to lowering of compression vs the 125). It was advanced for the time with its single overhead camshaft design, 2 valves per cylinder and three Weber 32DCF carburettors. Transmission was a five-speed manual.<\/p>\n

The body like the 125 was steel tube-frame chassis with independent wishbone suspension with transverse leaf springs in front and a live axle in the rear and hydraulic shock absorbers all round. Drum brakes were specified front and rear. The 159 has some work done to improve the aerodynamics of the car which you can see visually by some venting.<\/p>\n

The 159 S is about as close to a single-seat grand prix car of the day as a road car could be. The interior is pure race car interior with two small seats, a steering wheel, a massive tacho and nothing else (literally nothing else). The car was really only technically road legal though, it was built entirely for racing purposes, which explains the lack of doors I suspect.<\/p>\n

Ferrari 159 S Racing<\/h2>\n

The 159 S debuted for Scuderia Ferrari on August 15, 1947 at the Circuito di Pescara with the company’s driver, Franco Cortese, coming in second. It led the race for a while but couldn’t sustain the paxce. Like the 125 before it, the 159 S was no match for the Maserati’s of the time.<\/p>\n

While it had a short racing career the 159 S did help Ferrari win its first international race, the Turin Grand Prix in 1947 with Raymond Sommer behind the wheel.<\/p>\n

As with its predecessor, the car got disassembled and the parts were allegedly used to build the 166 Spyder Corsa (which is why while two were built, it is technically one one).<\/p>\n

There just aren’t that many photos of the 129 around, but we did manage to find a few.<\/p>\n

We are like kids in a candy store, except the candy is made of metal, goes vroom-vroom, and occasionally bankrupts us faster than a sugar rush at a candy store sale! We spend hours debating the merits of turbochargers versus superchargers, and our weekends are a never-ending quest for the perfect polish and wax combo. We can identify every make and model by the sound of a revving engine, and our idea of a romantic evening is a candlelit dinner with our cars in the garage.","sameAs":["http:\/\/www.supercars.net","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Supercars.net\/","https:\/\/instagram.com\/super.cars.fans","https:\/\/x.com\/https:\/\/twitter.com\/supercars_net"],"url":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/author\/supercars\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/184695","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=184695"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/184695\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/339738"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=184695"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=184695"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=184695"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
