The name of this model comes from the color of the head (forehead) engine, painted red (Rose). The project is the work of Carrozzeria Scaglietti, owned by Sergio Scaglietti, who worked many years with Enzo Ferrari. The style of the 250 TR is inspired by Formula 1 50s. According to statements by its creator, the front fenders were huge pontoons that helped cool the huge drum brakes of the model at high speed. The project adhered to the new FIA regulations which required a size limit of 3.0 liters in the engine. Enzo Ferrari then decided to put a V12 that meets the requirements of the International Automobile Federation. Gradually the model has evolved to become a winner when he won for Ferrari four world championships and four titles builders of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

The P3 was not a model of success in competitions, however, the 330 P4 was practically invincible.

 

Ferrari 750 Monza (1954-1955)

The engine was a 3.0 liter engine that delivered 250 hp and enabled the car to reach a maximum speed of 265 km / h. All this thanks to the low weight of 750 kg.
