context_page_description: The Ferrari 250 S was a sports racing car produced by Ferrari in 1952. It was the first in the long lineage of Ferrari 250 road and race cars powered by an ubiquitous 3.0-litre Colombo V12 engine. In 1952 the 250 S won the Mille Miglia and 12 Hours of Pescara. At the Le Mans, the same year, it clocked the fastest race lap time. Only a single example was produced.
context_section_description: The 250 S had its first outing at the 1952 Mille Miglia. Entered by Scuderia Ferrari, the car was driven by Giovanni Bracco and Alfonso Rolfo. After a magnificent performance on the Futa and Raticosa passes, they managed to finish first overall, continuing Ferrari's dominance in this road marathon.
  Alberto Ascari and Luigi Villoresi were chosen by Scuderia Ferrari to compete in the 1952 24 Hours of Le Mans in the 'Sport 3.0' category. The 250 S, driven by Ascari, recorded the fastest race lap at 4min 40.5sec at an average speed of 173.16 km/h. The car retired with a broken clutch.
  At the 1952 Circuito di Senigallia race, the 250 S was entered in the 'Sport +2.0' class. Luigi Villoresi managed a third place overall. Later the same year, at the Coppa Acerbo for sports cars, renamed as the 12 Hours of Pescara, yielded another success for Ferrari. Giovanni Bracco and Paolo Marzotto won the race in the 250 S. The 1952 Carrera Panamericana race was contested by Giovanni Bracco and Gino Bronzoni duo. Their car did not finish the grueling marathon due to clutch and engine problems. Still in 1953, at the Giro di Sicilia, Franco Cornacchia and Gino Bronzoni finished the race prematurely with a broken differential.
  In 1953 the 250 S was acquired by an Argentinian Roberto Bonomi. Later the same year, he had entered it in the Targa Florio race. He finished eighth overall and, because of the popular 'S+750' category, eighth in class also. The car competed in the GP Monza, entered by Scuderia Guastalla, finishing at an eighth place. Later, Bonomi entered the Coppa d'Oro delle Dolomiti race but to no avail. The last race of the 250 S was the 1954 Supercortemaggiore at Monza. Entered by Scuderia Guastella and driven by Musitelli and Pezzoli the car did not finish the race.
