Need help on Ferrari Chronology. Thank you

The order is correct. However there are a lot of models missing in that line up.
Boxer, 400,412,Testarossa,456, to name a few. Unless the second line is for v8 cars only. Then the 246 should not be there.

 

If the idea is to list out a series of cars whose 'DNA' so to speak progressed to the next model, I wouldn't group the 288 where you have it. It shares practically nothing with the 250, instead being an evolution of the 208 / 308. Same for the F40, come to think of it.

 

For the first list I would drop the 250 GTO as all the other cars on your list have the engine mounted behind the driver. Then add the 250 LM to list #1 as it has the motor behind the driver.
For list #2 as noted drop the six cylinder 246 and replace it with the 208 Turbo. Also the 308 GT 4 could be included if you are choosing V8 models for this list. It's main characteristics being a body by Bertone instead of Pininfarina and 4 seats.

You could then do a third list with the 1953 250 MM - 1957 250 tdf - 250 GT - 250 GTO - 275 GTB comp and 365 GTB/4 comp.

 

It would help to know a bit more about the direction you are going, but from what it appears the above advice is correct.

The 1st list includes the SuperFerraris - which should remove the 250GTO.

The 2nd list looks to include the "junior" Ferraris which might include the 246 except that it has the six cylinder engine - there is lineage there if thats what you are looking for. You might include the 206 which was its predecessor though.

I like your third list!

 

I just bought this genealogy book from FofNE for 39.95 shipped. I think it has what your looking for. (Disclaimer, I do not work for FofNE or make any money off this)

According to the book cited above which is published by Ferrari, you are correct, those are the only 5 "super cars"

The supercars are 288, F-40, F-50, Enzo, La Ferrari (includes all FXX models as well)

as for the older cars - its more relevant to break them down into engine types/ sizes:

155, 212,250, 375, 330,365, - those are the most general types of V-12 engines made for road cars
only two one off V-12 Rear engine cars made - the Treposto 365GTB

for the non V-12: 206 Dino V6 - 246 Dino V-6 ... 308GT4 V-8 - 308 V-8, Mondial V-8, 328 -V8, 348 V8, 355-V8, 360 & 430 V-8 458 & 488 V-8 California V-8

This is very informative - thanks for posting the link.

 

Don't forget this. Where would you place this after the Enzo?

Honestly I do not completely agree with that chart, especially regarding the GTO and GT/L placement.

The GTO was the road/race berlinetta concept brought to its extremes—and thus should be on its own, perhaps together with the various competizione berlinettas.
The GT/L quite clearly (well, in my view at least) succeded the SWB Lusso, not the PF Coupé, and is a key link in the road-going berlinetta lineage before the 275 GTB.

As I see it the 250 GT PF Coupé on the other hand was replaced by the GT/E, giving birth to the 2+2 line. The GTC models then filled back the void between the 2+2 and the berlinettas.

Do I have it wrong?

 

this blue color, what do they call it?

thanks

 

The 250 GTO is a race car - was built as a race car and sold as one. that you could also drive it on the street is ancillary to its purpose. most race cars up to the 250LM were some what dual purpose. But even then most people would not want to spend a long time in a GTO or TR as they were not very comfortable for street use.... Cross country driving in 1963 yes, stop and go traffic in Rome or Paris or NYC - no.

when the GTO was made the term Supercar did not exist... but I guess you could call it that...

Jesse Pourets book on the GTO is excellent and he talks about using one as a "Street car" fun but not exactly a great idea.
