In 1960, the Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa (TR) underwent significant updates, including the standardization of dry sump lubrication systems. This change allowed the engine to be positioned lower in the chassis, enhancing handling through a reduced center of mass and facilitating a more aerodynamic front profile. That year also marked the introduction of rear independent suspension with the 250 TRI60 (chassis 0780TR), which raced alongside the 250 TR60 with a conventional de Dion rear axle. Body modifications were necessitated by new regulations requiring a windshield with a minimum vertical height of 25 cm. The larger windshield, however, was unpopular among drivers due to visibility issues, ineffective wipers, and increased drag, reducing top speed to 161 mph at Le Mans compared to the Maserati Tipo 61's 175 mph. Ferrari 250 TRs from 1959 updated to the 1960 specifications, excluding independent rear suspension, are often referred to as 250 TR59/60.
