The final Ferrari powered by the 3-liter V-12 was the 250GT Lusso, which overlapped with the 250GT SWB but was quite different. The Lusso was hundreds of pounds heavier and the V-12 put out only 250 hp. The Lusso was the clearly meant as the luxury counterpoint to the SWB's sportiness.
Considered by some the most beautiful Ferrari of the era, the Lusso was built from 1962 to 1964. A total of 351 were sold. I've always considered the dash arrangement a bit awkward with the speedometer and tach in the middle rather than in front of the driver.
