Vehicle Photography Contest ~ 1958 Ferrari Testa Rossa

in #vehiclephotography • 6 years ago (edited)

Here are my entries for today´s #vehiclephotography contest
hosted by @juliank.

A few years back we went to Lime Rock Raceway,in Connecticut (USA)
for the Historic Festival of Classic Cars. It was a thrill watching various vintage cars from 3-wheeled Morgansto Mustang Shelby GT500s racing around the track.

After the race, we checked out the auto show -- the jewel was this 1958
Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa Scaglietti Spyder. One of the rarest Ferrari's ever
built with only 34 produced from 1956-61. In January 2014, a 1957 250TR
sold for about US$40 million.

The 250TR came with a 3 liter, V12 engine that produced 300hp with a top
speed of 270km/h (168mph) in 1958! I recall that this race car competed at
Le Mans and the World Sports Car Championship. Source

    What a car, great shot! Even the licence plate says "historical". Enough said.

    You being from France, know race cars and this was special. They had their own security guard for this car.

      This is a historic race car. The design was so different and many thought Ferrari was crazy with it. Thus why they re-issued the at that time, a visionary body design of the testarossa in the mid-80's. I remember how it blew everyone away.

      I remember the 84 TR. We flipped out when it was released. I actually sat in one of those puppies. what a car. The lines and sideview mirrors were evil.

      You so right on how evil the testarossa looked back then! I call seeing a black one for the first time. It made the night-rider car look like a Volkswagen!

          There's something really cool about older cars...the craftsmanship and attention to detail. I still remember going to the American History Museum in Washington D.C and being amazed at the low-rider exhibition. Thanks for sharing! :)

              I wish! They actually had a security guard to the side. I remember that Ralph Lauren had a red one that was in some notable races.
