At the same time, the racing regulations gradually changed. Although the FIA, the governing body of world motor racing (Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile), tried to limit participation in the 24 Hours of Le Mans to GT cars, the French Automobile Club de l’Ouest stuck with the idea of the prototype -Racing car. So in 1962 he introduced a 4.0 liter class, the purpose of which was ostensibly to develop cars that could sooner or later be suitable for road car production. Other long-distance venues quickly followed the French example. A 4.0 liter class was adopted at Sebring, the Targa Florio and the 1000 kilometer race at the Nürburgring. This didn’t go unnoticed by the Ferrari engineers, and they soon began to seriously consider installing a 4-liter engine in a GTO. This was the beginning of the history of the model, which would later become the most expensive Ferrari to date.
