Ferrari 250 Testarossa 1958

The original 250 Testa Rossa road racer was not only shockingly beautiful, it performed beautifully on the racetrack as well, winning three World Sports Car Championships between 1958 and 1961.

In 1958, factory-team 250 Testa Rossas captured for Maranello its third consecutive Constructors Sports World Championship, winning four of that year’s six endurance races. Outright victories included Le Mans (Olivier Gendebien and Phil Hill driving), the Sebring 12 Hours (Peter Collins and Hill), and the Targa Florio (Luigi Musso and Gendebien).

Designed and built by Scaglietti, the body of this 250 TR 58 was a masterpiece in its originality, and was especially notable for its distinctive pontoonlike front fenders. The 250 TR 58 was among the coachbuilder’s very favorite cars
