The Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa stands as an unrivalled masterpiece in design, a symphony of sculpture, technology, and movement, manifesting as an automobile in its ultimate form. The iconic Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa reigns as one of the most beautiful creations the industry has ever seen.
This particular 250 Testa Rossa, chassis no. 0738 TR is one of only 19 exceptional examples by the renowned Italian coachbuilder Sergio Scaglietti. With nearly 20 period races and four overall victories, 0738 TR was active in competition for over a decade.
“I have always believed that the 250 Testa Rossa should be the most desirable automobile in the world, especially in the context of Ferrari. Compared to the most revered prancing horse model, the 250 GTO, the TR far outpaces the GTO’s competition record. It revolutionized the World Sportscar Championship and won the 24 Hours of Le Mans an unprecedented four times; it is also much rarer in terms of the total number of cars produced. Its rarity, open-top experience, and iconic ‘pontoon fender’ design, present in only 19 cars, elevate it to the level of Michelangelo and Bernini’s art. No world-class collection is complete without the masterpiece that is the Ferrari 250 TR, the epitome of rolling art. These opportunities rarely come up and are fittingly offered through Sotheby‘s Sealed, our exclusive acquisition method,” says Shelby Myers, Global Head of Private Sales at RM Sotheby’s.
In recent years, it has benefited from a complete restoration at Ferrari Classiche, where it was granted full Red Book Certification. It is one of few TRs retaining its matching engine and gearbox.
With a valuation between $34,000,000 and $38,000,000, this automobile is destined for the world’s most distinguished collections. To ensure discretion and confidentiality, we are hosting this exclusive event through Sotheby’s Sealed, allowing clients to bid competitively in a private setting.
The auction will occur from 21-23 February via Sotheby‘s Sealed.
