The 1953 625 TF was Ferrari's first four-cylinder sports car with enclosed wheels. It resembled the Vignale-styled 250 MM Spyder, but instead of the 3.0-liter V12 it received a 2.5-liter four-cylinder derived from the 625 F1. Weighing just 730 kg and producing 220 hp, the small roadster reached over 240 km/h. Mike Hawthorn took it to fourth place on its debut at Monza, even though it could not keep up on the long straights.

Engineering and Berlinetta
Instead of the 3.0-liter V12 of the 250 MM, the 625 TF housed a 2.5-liter inline-four from the 625 F1. It displaced 2498 cm³ and produced 220 hp (164 kW) at 7000/min. This allowed the small roadster to exceed 240 km/h. Otherwise, the car was very similar to the Vignale-designed 250 MM Spyder, sharing the same 2250 mm wheelbase. In the spring of 1953, a single closed Berlinetta was also built, one of the last Ferraris crafted by Vignale; whether Scaglietti converted it into a Spyder in 1954 remains unconfirmed.
