Speedster404's video: 50M Ferrari 250 GT SWB Zagato Testa Rossa Driving On Public Streets Start Up Driving Sound

The gorgeous Ferrari 250 GT SWB that finished 3rd overall and first in GT class at the 1961 24 hours of Le Mans. This car was one of a few 250 SWB's that were specially race prepared with an aluminum body, special Testa Rossa derived engine and other lightening effects like the plastic windows that were opened and closed by a leather strap. Chassis 0515GT was the first of five 250 GTs clothed by Zagato. It was sold new through Camillo Luglio to Vladimiro Galluzzi. He raced the car extensively during the 1956 season before selling it to Luigi Taramazzo, who successfully campaigned the Zagato Coupe in hillclimbs. It was eventually retired from racing at the end of the 1958 season. Like so many other Ferraris, it was soon after sold to North America. After changing hands many times, it was acquired in 1999 by the current owner; a noted Zagato collector. Chassis 0515GT served as the inspiration for the Ferrari 575 GTZ built in 2006. The Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa, or 250 TR, is a racing sports car built by Ferrari from 1957 to 1961. It was introduced at the end of the 1957 racing season in response to rule changes that enforced a maximum engine displacement of 3 litres for the 24 Hours of Le Mans and World Sports Car Championship races. The 250 TR was closely related to earlier Ferrari sports cars, sharing many key components with other 250 models and the 500 TR.[1] The 250 TR achieved many racing successes, with variations winning 10 World Sports Car Championship races including the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1958, 1960, and 1961, the 12 Hours of Sebring in 1958, 1959 and 1961, the Targa Florio in 1958, the 1000 Km Buenos Aires in 1958 and 1960 and the Pescara 4 Hours in 1961. These results led to World Sports Car Championship constructor's titles for Ferrari in 1958, 1960 and 1961.
