THE FERRARI 250 TESTA ROSSA

GTO ENGINEERING

With over half a million miles under their belt driving some of the most special Ferraris of all time, and over 200 years’ combined experience working on Ferraris, the team at GTO Engineering has created what they believe to be the ultimate interpretation of two legendary Sixties Ferraris. Welcome to the Revival series.

THE REVIVAL PROCESS

GTO Engineering has always sought to give their clients the opportunity to preserve the mechanical authenticity of their classic Ferrari while still enjoying the sensation of driving them. Parts are sourced or re-manufactured to preserve the originality of genuine components on original 250 TRs. The parts are sourced from around the world, including many from original period suppliers to the Ferrari factory. GTO Engineering will also commission client’s Ferraris, either damaged beyond repair or missing major components to revive it to a clients own 250 TR specification. GTO Engineering 250 TR commissions are re-built by the same highly skilled engineers, side-by-side with the original classic Ferrari cars. The fashioning of an alloy body by hand is the work of a highly skilled, time-severed craftsman. Such is the skill and man hours which go into the 250 TR, the process usually takes around 12 – 18 months from the commencement to the client driving their car away.

THE FERRARI 250 TESTA ROSSA

The Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa was the much more powerful successor of the 500 TRC, first introduced during the 1957 racing season. Although very similar to the 500 TRC, it gained more power through the “Colombo” Tipo 128 V-12 engine, an engine that would lead Ferrari to win a Manufacturers’ World Championship title in 1958.

Between 1957 and 1961, fewer than 35 were believed to have been built. The Testa Rosso to this day is seen as one of the most desired collector cars due to its success in racing, its beauty design, and very limited production numbers
