    He took over the lead and conclusion of the 1962 250 GT Competizione, the Series 1 250 GTO in 1961, and had much input into it, after Chiti and Bizzarrini left Ferrari. He also lead the redesign of the Series 2 250 GTO for 1964.

    “Forghieri is the most complete designer ever existed. There are plenty of designers but he made engines also, all kinds of engines, and then he made Formula 1, Formula 2, and then the endurance races and even uphill races, and he competed with Porsche. The maximum”. Gian Paolo Dallara.
