Ferrari 250 TR Aluminium Body Replica - Polished Finish

Note: Images show work in progress, the finished Body Replica will be finely detailed and bright polished.

For centuries, Italian artisans have created many of the most evocative and beautiful objects known to man. From the Renaissance period onwards, masterpieces were designed, painted and sculpted in Italy, that to this day transcend their mere presence as objects and evoke emotions that connect to the viewer on a personal level. The vast majority of these art objects are stationary; however, during a brief period in the 1950s, beauty and function connected in select Italian sports cars, transforming them into moving art. The 250 Testa Rossa represents the pinnacle of this era as a true masterpiece of moving sculpture. Never before or since has an incredible combination of beauty and power led to as much on-track success and art-inspired emotion as with the 250 Testa Rossa. Driven by Scuderia Ferrari during five World Championship years from 1957-1962, the Testa Rossa will forever be known as the most successful sports racing model in Ferrari’s history, and the “pontoon fender” body style as the most beautiful version of the Testa Rossa, the greatest expression of automotive art to come out of Maranello.

We have created several perfectly detailed models of the 250 Testa Rossa at 1:8, but to fully honour the beauty of the body form we have now created a hand formed aluminium replica of the Pontoon Fender Testa Rossa body at a quarter the size of the original masterpiece. Each replica has been rolled and beaten from aluminium sheet using traditional carrosserie skills, forming the panels by hand and then test fitting them over a ‘trellis’, exactly as the original full-size bodies were created by Carozzerie Scaglietti in 1957. The trellis over which the body is shaped, has been machined using extremely accurate data from a digital scan of a significant original Pontoon Fender 250 Testa Rossa. The investment in skilled man hours is significant, and so each piece will be made to order. The body is shown mounted on a walnut wood frame, but other mounts can be designed and supplied to order. Wall mounting the piece would make a stunning display. This Ferrari Pontoon Fender 250 Testa Rossa body replica is the second in a series of iconic Ferraris we will produce. Next in line is the 265 GTB with the 275 GTB/4 scheduled to follow in 2025 and 2026.
