For the 1964 season, Ferrari presented three cars for prototype and GT racing: the 250LM, the 275 P-64 and the 330 P-64. The 250LM was conceived as a GT, but the homologation was refused by the International Sports Commission (in Italy the homologation was however approved). For this reason the car had to compete in the prototype category, against much more specialized and performing cars. Despite this, the 250LM achieved great results, among which the win at the 1965 24 Hours of Le Mans.
