In 1958, Ferrari upgraded their 250 Testa Rossa to the TR58, creating just two for their factory team. This model, initially with modest engineering, underwent significant enhancements for high-speed stability and performance, including a fully enclosed body and a De Dion rear axle. Ferrari used four cars, including prototypes, in key races, achieving success in events like the Buenos Aires 1000k and Le Mans. Their main competitor was the faster but less reliable Aston Martin DBR1. After winning Le Mans and securing the Manufacturers Championship, Ferrari shifted focus to F1 and ceased customer Testa Rossas, continuing only factory-backed development. This led to the introduction of the improved TR59 in 1959.
