Detailed Description
One of the most classy and also successful racing sports cars of all times. Ferrari`s flagship for endurance races. Pininfarina was the responsible designer for the extra light Aluminium body. The building of the bodywork was done by coachbuilder Scaglietti. The victory at the 24 hours of Le Mans in 1958 by Olivier Gendebien and Phil Hill found its way into automobile history. The name Testa Rossa was created because of its red painted valve hoods of the powerful 300 hp 12 cylinder engine. His body is more than spectacular. The so-called Pontoon Fenders gave him is extraordinary look. The CMC model is an authentic replication of an original 1958 model. The uniquely shaped and gracefully streamlined body is a rare example of perfect design. A flawless finish brings the racing stripes and starting number into a nice contrast. The two additional headlights are due to the endurance challenge of the 24 Hours of Le Mans races.
"Lucybelle" is the name by which the Testa Rossa with the chassis number 0732 first came to be known in its good old days. The owner Ed Hugus was an American, who decided to have the car painted in American racing white with double blue stripes. Admittedly, that appearance was unusual for a Ferrari. One of Lucybelle’s racing highlights was a 7th rank at the famous 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1958, where it had the starting number 22. The drivers Ed Hugus and Ernie Erickson won their spot by competing triumphantly against a large number of tough competitors. The CMCmodel represents the current status of the car.
