The Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa, or 250 TR, is a racing sports car built by Ferrari from 1957 to 1961. The name Testa Rossa ("red head") returns to the red engine valve covers. It was introduced at the end of the 1957 racing season. 250 TR has achieved many racing successes. With various variations, he won 10 world sports car races, including the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1958, 1960, and 1961.
All 250 Testa Rossas from 1961 were designated 250 TRI61, because independent rear suspension was now standard. The windshield now sloped more slowly and encircled on both sides of the cockpit to meet the rear body. Instead of a rounded tail surface with a hood for the driver's head, the TRI61 had a very high rear section that touched the trailing edge of the side windows and narrowed to a shortened, slightly concave Kamm tail surface. This style of bodywork was called the "open coupe" and was very similar to the bodywork used at the Ferrari sports racing with the engine in the middle, such as the 1961 246 SP. Three vehicles were built.
In 1958, he won the 250 TR 24 Hours of Le Mans with an average speed of just under 170 km / h. The V12 engine with a displacement of only 3 liters developed from a displacement of 3.9 liters 300 hp (221 kW), later up to 390 hp (287 kW).
