STORY

The 250 Testa Rossa, named for the red-painted cam covers of its 3.0-litre V12, was a hugely successful sports racing car. Early cars wore Scaglietti's distinctive pontoon-fender bodywork. It won the World Sportscar Championship for Ferrari multiple times, including victories at Le Mans and Sebring.
