Among the most highly valued racing sports cars of all time, the Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa was the company’s standard bearer for endurance races. Testa Rossa means red head, so named for the red valve covers. It had unorthodox bodywork by Scaglietti. The front fenders are visually distinct from the central “nacelle” body, a design inspired by Formula 1 racers, with air ducting across the front brakes and out through the open area behind the wheels (Wikipedia).
Olivier Gendebien and Phil Hill won the 24 Hours of Le Mans with this car in 1958.
