Description[]
The Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa is a racing sports car produced by Ferrari from 1957 to 1961 in response to engine regulation changes regulating the maximum engine size to 3 liters for the 24 Hours of Le Mans and various other endurance races. Designed by Carlo Chiti and Giotto Bizzarrini, the 250 Testa Rossa shared many key components with other 250-series Ferraris and the 500 TR. The name "Testa Rossa" translates to "red head", referencing the red-painted cam covers sported on the car's engine. The cars feature bodywork from a number of coachbuilders, such as Scaglietti, Pinin Farina and Fantuzzi, with the pontoon-fendered Scaglietti bodywork being the most common and iconic style. Today, the 250 Testa Rossa is one of the most desirable Ferrari models. 33 were produced.
This casting has been variously named Ferrari 250, Classic Ferrari, Ferrari 250 TR, Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa over the years. Numerous base variations are known to exist.
