The Pinin Farina 250 GT Cabriolet was the open-top variant of the 250 series and was built in two series. The first series debuted at the 1957 Geneva Motor Show, featuring a 2600 mm wheelbase and bodywork styled differently from the Berlinetta. The second series, shown in Paris in 1959, shared more in common with the production Berlinetta and was built around 200 times. Motor Trend Classic magazine placed the early cabriolet and the coupé at number nine on its list of the ten "greatest Ferraris of all time."

Two series

The first series featured a 2600 mm wheelbase and uniquely styled coachwork. Depending on the source, around 36 or 41 examples were built before the second series appeared in Paris in 1959. This series adopted the front end of the more conservatively styled 250 GT Coupé introduced in 1958 and offered more comfortable appointments. Equipped with the 176 kW engine, the second series was built around 200 times.
