The 166 MM, spider/barchetta, is the first Ferrari sports car and was officially introduced at the Turin salon in 1948. Barchetta, in Italian, means little boat. Weight and wind-resistance were kept to a minimum, and any unnecessary equipment or decoration was sacrificed to performance. Typically handmade in aluminum on a tubular frame, the classic Barchetta body is devoid of bumpers or weather equipment such as canvas top or sidescreens. The MM in the car’s designation stands for Mille Miglia, the race Ferrari won in 1945. Only 46 cars were made until 1953. Top speed was 220 km/h.
