1956 Ferrari 625 LM<\/h1>\n
\n

When the 1958 LeMans regulations limited displacement of the prototype catagory to 2.5 litres, Ferrari fit three old cars with the inline-4 from the 625 F1. <\/span><\/p>\n

At the same time, Touring added a full-width windscreen, fog lights and an scoop on the hood near the driver.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the three cars did not have enough power to match Jaguar at Le Mans.<\/p>\n

These cars were the last Ferraris bodied by Touring of Milan and featured some uncharacteristic wheel arches.<\/p>\n
