Basically an updated Ferrari 166 Inter, the 195 Inter was the second street car Ferrari has made. While it was a sportscar, it was the GT version of the race-built Ferrari 195 S.
Similar to the 166 Inter, the updated model was equipped with a larger engine and and a stretched wheelbase. With the longer wheelbase, the interior room was increased. The suspension, the brakes and the transmissions were borrowed from the Ferrari 195 S.
The unusual exterior design featured a big front grille, rounded headlights and fog lamps, as well as chrome accents on surrounding the headlamps, chrome painted side mirrors, door handles and windshield frame.
One of the most exclusive grand tourers available on the market in the post-war period, the Ferrari 195 Inter was powered by a 2.3-liter V12 powerplant designed by Gioacchino Colombo. The unit developed an impressive 128 hp using a single Weber carburettor and sprinted the car from 0 to 100 kph in around 10 seconds, on its way up to a maximum of around 120 km/h.
The Ferrari 195 was produced in 28 units under different bodyworks done by multiple coach builders: 13 bodied by Carrozzeria Vignale, 11 by Ghia, 3 by Touring and 1 by Motto.
In 1951, the 195 Inter was replaced by the more-potent and similar Ferrari 212 Inter.
