Powering the GTO Engineering 250 SWB is a 4.0-litre Colombo V12, an engine that traces its roots back to 1947 when Gioacchino Colombo designed Ferrari’s first V12. Although it began as a 1.5-litre unit, the basic design evolved for nearly four decades, growing in capacity and powering some of Ferrari’s most important road and racing cars, including the 250 GTO, 250 SWB, 275 GTB, and 365 Daytona. Its compact 60-degree layout, all-aluminium construction, and smooth, high-revving nature made it one of the most influential V12s of the post-war era. For the 250 SWB, GTO Engineering builds its own version using the original Colombo architecture with updated internal components and modern manufacturing methods.

The Isdera Commendatore 112i was built in 1993 by Eberhard Schulz as a one-off supercar project.

Under its gullwing engine cover lay Mercedes’ M120 6.0-litre V12, tuned to 400 horsepower and paired with a Getrag gearbox modified by RUF to add a sixth gear, giving the car a top speed beyond 220mph. A lightweight GRP body over a tubular chassis kept weight in check, while suspension borrowed from the Porsche 928 was reworked into a speed-sensitive system that lowered the car three inches at speed to cut drag.

Details revealed Schulz’s resourcefulness:
Porsche 968 headlights, a bullet-train wiper for the vast windscreen, a periscope rear-view mirror on the roof, and BBS racing wheels at each corner. Schulz dreamed of Le Mans homologation, but the early-1990s Japanese economic slump dried up funding, forcing Isdera into collapse. Rescued by a Swiss consortium, the Commendatore was completed and registered for the road, later achieving cult fame when it appeared in Need for Speed Il on PlayStation.
