Product description

The Ferrari 250 TR in its 1959 and 1960 evolutions is regarded as one of the most captivating and successful competition cars ever built in Maranello. An advanced development of the earlier 1958 version, this Testa Rossa stood out for its refined bodywork, redesigned with improved aerodynamics, and for a series of mechanical upgrades tailored to tackle the most demanding endurance races in the international arena.

Powered by the legendary 3 liter V12 engine, the 250 TR 59/60 starred in events such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the 12 Hours of Sebring, the Targa Florio, and the Nürburgring, achieving major victories thanks to the skill of drivers like Phil Hill, Olivier Gendebien, and Wolfgang von Trips.

This book retraces those unforgettable racing seasons in detail, focusing not only on the technical and sporting aspects but also on the context and atmosphere that surrounded the car’s success.
