N.A.R.T. -- North American Racing Team

NART was created by Luigi Chinetti to promote the Ferrari marquee in America through success in Gran Turismo (endurance) motorsport. It was created in 1958 when Chinetti received backing from wealthy racers George Arents and Jan de Vroom. Because Ferrari already had a close relationship with Chinetti due to his success in selling the maker's road cars in America, he received a continuous line of excellent Ferrari racers. NART raced at only the world's premiere races, such as the 24 Hours of Daytona in Florida and the 24 Hours of Le Mans in Le Mans, France. Their first race was the 12 Hours of Sebring in March of 1958, where they raced a 250 GT. The peak of NART's racing success came in 1965, when a NART-sponsored 250 LM became the last Ferrari to win Le Mans outright. Other famous NART wins include the 24 Hours of Daytona in 1967, finishing 3 race-prepped 365 GTB4s in 1-2-3 order; because of the achievement, the car will forever retain the name "Daytona."

NART also had a Ferrari model with its name attached to it - the 1967 275 GTB/4 NART Spyder was a convertible version of the 275 GTB/4 requested specially by Luigi Chinetti. The original order of 25 cars was never fulfilled, as only 10 were delivered from the Maranello factory. Because of the popularity of the drop-top NART Spyder design, many 275 GTB/4 were converted to drop-top models to imitate the NART Spyder's beauty.

NART raced Ferraris until 1982, at which point it had participated in more than 200 races with over 100 different drivers. Perhaps the most famous of these drivers are Mario Andretti and Phil Hill.
