The 125 (commonly called the 125 Sport or 125 S) was a sports car built by Ferrari in 1947. It was the first vehicle to bear the Ferrari name when it debuted in May of that year at the Piacenza racing circuit. It used a steel tube-frame chassis, had double wishbone suspension with transverse leaf springs in front with a live axle in the rear. Hydraulic power drum brakes were specified front and rear.
The 125 was powered by Gioacchino Colombo's 1.5 L (1497 cc/91 in³) 60° V12. This engine produced 100 hp (74 kW) at 7,000 rpm with a compression ratio of 8.5:1. It was a dual overhead camshaft design with 2 valves per cylinder and three double-choke Weber 30 DCF carburettors.
The 125 was replaced by the 2.0 L 166 S for 1948.
Racing
A 125 S won the Mille Miglia in 1947 with drivers, Clemente Biondetti and Giuseppe Navone.
