The addition of a 1958 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa recreation to the Ron Sturgeon Collection marks a significant moment for automotive enthusiasts and historians alike. This vehicle, a faithful homage to one of Ferrari’s most iconic racing cars, embodies the spirit of an era when Ferrari dominated the world of motorsport. The original 250 Testa Rossa was pivotal in securing Ferrari the 1958 Manufacturers’ World Championship, thanks to its advanced design and powerful Colombo Tipo 128 V-12 engine.
This recreation, built on a 1982 Ferrari 400i chassis, features hand-shaped aluminum bodywork that meticulously replicates the original’s design, including its distinctive pontoon-style fenders and rear fairing. Powered by a Dino-sourced V6 engine and a five-speed manual transmission, it offers a driving experience that closely mirrors the visceral thrill of the original. Ron Sturgeon, founder of the DFW Car & Toy Museum, praises the recreation for capturing the essence of the Testa Rossa, from its elegant design to its championship-winning soul.
The Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa recreation is more than just a collector’s item; it is a testament to the enduring legacy of Ferrari’s golden age of racing. Its inclusion in the Ron Sturgeon Collection not only celebrates the historical significance of the original but also ensures that the passion and craftsmanship of that era continue to inspire future generations of car enthusiasts.
