The Targa Florio 1962 was dominated by Ferrari with their exceptionally competitive Dino SP sportscars. The overall victory went to the 246SP driven by Mairesse / Rodriguez / Gendebien, while the 196SP with race number 120 came second with Giancarlo Baghetti and Lorenzo Bandini. The GT category was a success too for Ferrari, the new 250 GTO at its first European outing after the race debut at Sebring, clinched the 4th overall and the first position in the GT 3000 class.
