 | The 1952 Ferrari 225 S featured a 2,715 cc SOHC V-12 engine with triple Weber 36 DCF downdraft carburetors, producing 210 bhp through a five-speed manual gearbox, independent double wishbones with a transverse leaf spring front suspension, rigid axle with semi-elliptic leaf spring rear suspension, and hydraulic drum brakes. The 225S is regarded as an interim link between the “early years” of Ferrari and the introduction of the legendary 250 series. |
 | The most advanced iterations of the 225S were constructed on the innovative tuboscocca frame, a special chassis with double outer-tubes joined together with a truss-like arrangement. This saved weight with no compromise to structural rigidity. |  |
 | Virtually no two Vignale-bodied Ferraris are precisely alike, and the six 225S Berlinettas made were no exception. This example is from the superlative Elkhart collection. |
