Ferrari’s 109,000 Testa Rossa J scale replica children’s car

Ferrari’s Testa Rossa J is a 75% scale replica of one of the most coveted vintage cars on the planet. Just 34 full-scale Ferrari 250 Testa Rossas were built, they won the 24 Hours of Le Mans three times, making the car not just one of the most beautiful in the world, but far-and-away the fastest road car in the world at the time.

The Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa has twice set a world record at auction as the most valuable car in history. In May 2009, a 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa was sold at auction for a record €9,020,000 (US$12.1 million). That car held the auction record until August 2011 when the 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa prototype sold during Monterey Car Week for $16.4 million. The Testa Rossa held the auction record for a further 23 months until Fangio's Mercedes-Benz Silver Arrow fetched US$31 million at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.

On 29 July 2014, Ferrari employees discovered a 1958 250 Testa Rossa on display at the entrance to the company restaurant as they went to their lunch. The restoration of the car has just been finished by the staff of the Ferrari Classiche department. After a year of work in Maranello, the car was finished and ready to be air-freighted to California for the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in mid-August, an event which every year brings together the most beautiful historic cars in the world.

The level of detail on the Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa J dashboard is extraordinary as the classic dials have been remastered and repurposed for their new role in an electric car, yet retain the original design right down to the same typefaces. The oil and water gauges now monitor the battery and motor temperatures, while the fuel gauge is now the battery gauge and the tachometer has become a speedometer. There is even a power gauge which also shows the level of regenerative braking being deployed.

The Ferrari Testa Rossa J offers a wide range of personalization and colour combinations. The Ferrari Classiche department carried out extensive research into all the liveries that have adorned the 250 Testa Rossa throughout its racing career.
