Both 2500mm and 2600mm versions were built (''Export'' and ''Inter'' models, respectively), both with a larger 2.6 L (2563 cc/156 in³) version of Ferrari's ''[[Ferrari Colombo engine|Colombo]]'' [[V12]] engine. Like the 195, the additional displacement over the 166 was achieved with a larger bore, this time to 68 mm. Output was 150 to 165 hp (111 to 123 kW) with one or three [[Weber carburetor|Weber]] 36DCF [[carburettor]]s. The short-wheelbase Export model got the more-powerful engine. 5 hp (3.7 kW) more was on the table for 1952 thanks to better cylinder heads. | Both 2500mm and 2600mm versions were built (''Export'' and ''Inter'' models, respectively), both with a larger 2.6 L (2563 cc/156 in³) version of Ferrari's ''[[Ferrari Colombo engine|Colombo]]'' [[V12]] engine.

The Ferrari 212 Inter replaced Ferrari's successful 166 and 195 Inter GT cars in 1951. Unveiled at the Brussels Motor Show that year, the 212 was an evolution of the 166 — a sports car for the road that could also win international races.
The chassis was similar to the 125 with double wishbones in front and live axles in back. Coachbuilders included Carrozzeria Touring, Ghia, Vignale, and now Pininfarina. The latter was an important move for the company, as Farina was already well-known and adding his styling skills would be a tremendous boost for Maranello. However, Pinin Farina was as proud as Enzo Ferrari, and neither would go to the other to request business up to this point. A mutual meeting halfway between Maranello and Turin was the negotiated solution.
Both 2500mm and 2600mm versions were built (Export and Inter models, respectively), both with a larger 2.6 L (2563 cc/156 in³) version of Ferrari's Colombo V12 engine. Like the 195, the additional displacement over the 166 was achieved with a larger bore, this time to 68 mm. Output was 150 to 165 hp (111 to 123 kW) with one or three Weber 36DCF carburettors. The short-wheelbase Export model got the more-powerful engine. 5 hp (3.7 kW) more was on the table for 1952 thanks to better cylinder heads.
