And I think that the name might also refer to a Ferrari model, not sure. I'll have to go check the Rush FAQ on that one.

Yes. Ferrari 166 Barchetta. Although there have been later Ferrari models that co-opted the Barchetta name, when you say Barchetta to a Tifosi, you are talking about the model 166 Barchetta, produced starting in 1949 into the early 1950's. I believe it was the first Ferrari road car sold to the public.

The model designation "166" refers to the displacement of a single cylinder of the V-12 engine -- 166 cc (and a fraction) giving a total displacement of 1995 cc.

By today's standards, it isn't much of a car -- a well-tuned Civic (maybe with a few minor performance mods) would probably out-run it. These first-of-the-breed Ferraris are very rare, and very expensive. If you could find one for sale (unlikely) just give the seller a big wad of cash and take your change in McLaren F1's.
