Timeline

The Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa, produced from 1957 to 1961, is an iconic racing sports car, created in response to new regulations limiting engine displacement to 3 liters for the 24 Hours of Le Mans and World Sports Car Championship races. Sharing components with other Ferrari 250 models and the 500 TR, the 250 Testa Rossa achieved extraordinary success in racing. It secured 10 World Sports Car Championship race victories, including triumphs at the 24 Hours of Le Mans (1958, 1960, 1961), the 12 Hours of Sebring (1958, 1959, 1961), the Targa Florio (1958), and the 1000 Km Buenos Aires (1958, 1960). These impressive performances helped Ferrari clinch the World Sports Car Championship constructors' titles in 1958, 1960, and 1961​​.
